Fibre Optic Installation FAQ for Businesses

Why should my business use fibre optic cabling internally?

  • Speed & Reliability: Zero lag for cloud apps, VoIP, and CCTV systems.

  • Future-Proofing: Supports 10Gbps+ for AI/ML, IoT, and warehouse automation.

  • Security: Immune to electrical interference or copper tapping.
    Perfect for: Warehouses (forklift tracking), offices (video conferencing), retail (POS systems).

Can you install fibre between buildings/warehouse zones?

Yes! We deploy outdoor-rated fibre for:

  • Warehouse-to-office links

  • CCTV backbone networks

  • Inter-floor connectivity (no signal loss vs. Wi-Fi).

How disruptive is installation for a working warehouse/office?

We minimise downtime with:

  • Conduit/ceiling routing (no floor trenches).

  • After-hours/ weekend work.

  • Phased rollouts (prioritise critical zones first).

Do we need an ISP for internal fibre networks?

No. Internal fibre (e.g., between switches or servers) is ISP-independent. We design:

  • Private CANs (Corporate Area Networks).

  • Data centre-style cabling (high-density patching).

What’s the cost for a warehouse/office fibre backbone?

Depends on:

  • Distance (e.g., 100m vs. 500m between buildings).

  • Cable type (armoured for warehouses, standard for offices).

  • Hardware (SFP+/10G switches).
    Typical range: R15,000 – R80,000 (free quote after site visit).

Can fibre support our warehouse Wi-Fi or CCTV system?

Absolutely. Fibre is ideal for:

  • Wi-Fi 6/7 access point backhaul.

  • 4K CCTV camera networks (no latency).

  • Automation PLCs (e.g., conveyor systems).

How long does internal fibre installation take?

  • Small office (1 floor): 1–2 days.

  • Warehouse (50,000 sq ft): 3–5 days.
    Expedited slots are available.

What’s the lifespan of fibre optic cabling?

25+ years with proper installation. We use:

  • OM3/OM4 multimode (data centres).

  • Single-mode OS2 (long-distance warehouse links).

Do you provide maintenance?

Yes! 24/7 emergency repairs and:

  • OTDR testing (locate breaks instantly).

  • Splicing rework.

  • Hardware upgrades (e.g., 1G to 10G migration).

How do we start?

  1. Call 087 700 8761 for a free site survey.

  2. We’ll design a custom fibre map.

  3. Install with zero disruption to operations.
