technologies they need to succeed.
Each fibre optic network and cabling system is unique. When choosing the right option for your business you should consider a variety of factors, including distance, bandwidth requirements, environment and supporting hardware.
Here are the fibre optic cable types we offer and the main advantages of each.
This is an innovative new type of cabling that makes for simple and efficient replacement of damaged fibres. Each fibre in air-blown fibre cables is separate from the rest. These fibres can quickly be removed and replaced by blowing air through the cable, getting your network back up and running as soon as possible. Our team offers fibre optic cable maintenance and repair services for your convenience.
When you choose air-blown fibre cabling for your London office, you will benefit from easier maintenance and repairs, simple upgrades, and a pioneering cable construction that promises fast and reliable internet connections at all times.
Multi-mode cabling uses fibres that contain multiple paths allowing light to travel through them at exceptional speeds. This type of cabling is best suited for medium distances of up to 500m, and facilities like medium-sized office buildings, campuses, and inter-cabinet links.
Multi-mode fibre optic cables provide high bandwidth and great speeds over short to medium distances. OM3 and OM4 cables can carry 1GB of traffic over distances of up to 550m, and can work at speeds of up to 100GB, which they can carry over distances of up to 150m.
This form of cabling is best suited to long distance as it only provides a single path for light travel. This construction prevents the potential scrambling of data and allows for high speed internet to be provided at greater distances. Single-mode cables can carry 1GB of traffic over distances of up to 5km, and 10GB of traffic at distances of up to 10km. They are also easier to maintain than multi-mode cables.
ACCL recommends the use of single-mode fibre optic cables for industries and facilities like universities, data centres, stadiums and courses, information providers, digital signage providers, listed buildings, food and beverage businesses, and transportation businesses, among others.
If you are expecting your business to grow in the future, dark fibre is a must-have for your premises. Dark fibre refers to redundant cables installed within a fibre optic network to safeguard against cable failure and allow for network expansion in the future. The number of unused cables and their positions will be determined during your project’s planning phase to ensure your network can be scaled according to your needs with ease.
Whenever you need additional bandwidth to support your organisation’s growth, you can contact the team at ACCL to have your fibre optic network expanded without causing disruption to your business operations.
Plastic optical fibre cabling precedes glass fibre optics by a few years and is becoming more popular again in recent times. It offers a wide range of advantages, including resilience against strain and bending, cost-efficacy, ease of installation, superior safety, and lower power requirements than other types of cabling.
There are few cabling businesses in London and beyond that are skilled in the installation and use of plastic optical fibre cabling. However, ACCL is knowledgeable in all aspects of this form of cabling, and can provide recommendations, design installation plans, and install plastic optical fibre networks that will consistently meet your expectations.

Not only can the team advise you on the different fibre optic cable types and their benefits, but our engineers and technicians can also plan and place routers in strategic positions to avoid dead zones and overlapping signals and provide you with world-class connectivity.
