Optical Distribution Frame (ODF) Termination
FOTS have a number of years’ experience working in BT, O2, Telefonica & Orange switch rooms installing fibre optic cables from panels to ODF following instructions from the Clerk of Works.
Testing
All cables are tested to ensure that there is minimum db loss and tests conform to TIA test standards. Breakages can be identified using an Optical Time Domain Reflector (OTDR). Test results will be submitted to clients on completion in either a Fluke LinkWare or PDF format.
Cabling Health Checks
From time to time poor maintenance of fibre links and the removal of dust caps allow dust ingress to impede the overall performance of the link. FOTS can provide a scope inspection and cleaning service of all optical links in order to restore and improve connections.
Fibre Optic Termination Methods
We are able to provide the following methods of termination:
- Fusion splicing
- Cold cure direct termination
FOTS preferred choice of fusion splicing equipment is the Fujikura and Sumitomo ranges.
Fibre Optic Relocation & Repair Service
Fibre optic cables can be relocated as infrastructure changes take place. We can also offer a fibre optic repair service should your cables get accidentally damaged. In addition to this, we can inspect, clean and test all forms of optical cabling systems.
Whilst we are able to provide you with a complete fibre optic solution, FOTS contractors can also be outsourced to assist your engineers.
A 25 year manufacturer’s backed warranty will be offered on all complete fibre optic solutions.
