Have you found your online network slowing down as more and more people use it at once for data-hungry activities like audiovisual streaming or videoconferencing? Rest assured that, by installing fibre optic cabling at your home or workplace, we can improve your network’s bandwidth.
What Does Fibre Optic Internet Work?
Fibre optic internet is capable of reaching the fastest possible internet speeds, with these potentially hitting 1,000 Mbps (1 Gbps). The term “fibre optic” is also used in reference to a type of cleverly-designed cabling that unlocks these powerful speeds.
Each fibre cable comprises multiple smaller optical fibres. Though each fibre here has less than a tenth of a human hair’s thickness, it has two distinct parts: the inner core, where light passes through, and the protective outer cladding.
Using a process called “total internal reflection”, these fibres transmit light without it escaping. This light travels extremely quickly in the form of LED or laser pulses carrying binary data – the building blocks of everything seen on the internet.
Fibre optic cabling provides a highly effective way of sending high-quality data quickly, as these pulses are capable of travelling as far as sixty miles without experiencing any degradation. They can even transport data over thousands of miles when sent through optical amplifiers that boost the pulses’ signal to prevent any data from being lost in transit. Upon reaching their destination, the pulses are converted back into easily-digestible data for internet users at the receiving end.
Ultimately, fibre optic cabling is more future-proof than traditional copper wiring, not to mention more eco-friendly and immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI), as the fibres transfer data via light rather than electricity.
A Wide Range of Fibre Optic Data Solutions
For domestic and commercial clients up and down the UK, we can install fibre optic systems that suit their specific requirements. The solutions available from our team include air blown fibre installation, multi-mode and single-mode fibre optic cabling and fibre to the desktop (FTTD).
Our technical engineers can help you to determine which of our many fibre optic solutions you should utilise – and you can trust us with designing and installing the entire fibre optic cabling setup.
Drawbacks of Conventional Copper Wiring
Right now, your internet network might rely on DSL (digital subscriber line) technology, which uses standard copper telephone lines to send data. However, there are various risks of sticking with a DSL system for your online network.
One is that, if not properly maintained, copper wires can severely damage a network by releasing electromagnetic currents. As these wires conduct electricity, they can also potentially catch fire.
In contrast, as fibre cables transmit data via light rather than electricity, they do not emit electromagnetic waves. The absence of electricity in these cables also makes them safer during stormy weather. Furthermore, as fibre cables are encased by plastic or glass, they are shielded against the risk of damage caused by electromagnetic waves.
You can also expect fibre optic cabling to deliver more consistently strong and reliable speeds than DSL copper wiring. While the latter loses 94% of its signal after 320 feet of cable, fibre optic cabling’s signal weakens by only 3% over the same distance. The process of an internet signal weakening or cutting out altogether is known as attenuation.

Where Can We Install Fibre Optic Cabling?
Our engineers can travel to implement fibre optic connectivity at any residential property or work premises in the UK. Here are just a few examples of the types of building where we can install fibre optic cabling:
- Offices and office blocks
- Schools, colleges and university campuses
- Warehouses
- Retail stores
- Harsh environments
Benefit from Continuously Reliable Fibre Optic Technology
In designing your fibre optic network from the ground up, we can ensure it meets your specialised requirements – including in terms of your IT budget and data cabling needs. This approach enables us to deliver a highly tailored solution which does not compromise on quality.
You can also take out a regular maintenance package with us to ensure that, if any potential problems arise with your fibre optic system, we can detect and rectify them in little time.
If your fibre optic system has already clearly developed a fault or incurred damage, take comfort that we are at hand 24 hours a day to repair any damaged fibre links you have. Though fibre optic systems are rarely faulty, when they are, the adverse effects on the network can be significant.
When installing fibre optic cables, we always terminate them with fusion splicers to leave the strongest possible connection. We also offer a vast choice of “last mile” fibre connections to give your fibre optic network a resilient and reliable backbone.
These “last mile” connections available include FTTP/FTTH/FTTD (fibre to the premise, home or desktop) and FTTC/FTTN/FTTS (fibre to the cabinet, neighbourhood or street) – and we can talk you through all of the options.
