Fiber optic indoor cables for laying inside buildings
Fiber optic installation cables for indoor use comply with the applicable fire protection regulations and are lightweight and flexible to facilitate installation. They are typically designed for shorter distances inside buildings and are therefore mainly available as multimode fibers.
Robust fiber optic outdoor cables with protection against external influences
Outdoor fiber optic installation cables are specially designed for installation outdoors, underground and in pipes and cable ducts. They are adequately protected against environmental influences such as heat and UV rays, moisture and physical damage to prevent cable breakage and erosion. Most outdoor fiber optic cables are designed for high bandwidths and long transmission distances.
Fiber optic universal cables for indoor & outdoor use
Our universal fiber optic installation cables are suitable for laying pipes outdoors as well as for indoor use as risers or floor distributors. This means that transitions from outside to inside the building can be made with the same cable and without an interface. Fiber optic universal cables are therefore used in particular for networks that connect several buildings, so-called campus cabling.
Fiber optic connection to the desk thanks to FTTx cable
FTTx stands for Fiber to the building/home/desk/curb. With high-quality FTTx cables, you can achieve maximum connection speeds right up to the building, to the home and even to the desk. The conventional fiber optic connection corresponds to Fiber To The Curb, up to the public distributor at the curb. Fiber optic installation cables suitable for FTTx connections are available from EFB-Elektronik as dual or quad single-mode cables for indoor and outdoor use.

A short guide to fiber optic installation
There are various ways of installing fiber optic cable. They all have different advantages and disadvantages. Discover five ways to fiber optic cabling and configure your fiber optic setup right on site.
These are some of the most important aspects to consider when installing fiber optic cables:
- Safety First: Review and follow safety guidelines for fiber optic installation, wearing proper safety gear.
- Route Planning: Map out cable paths in advance, ensuring minimal exposure to hazards. Use extra protection in risky areas, keep conduit runs under 100 feet, and limit to two 90-degree bends.
- Cable Support: Avoid hanging or sharp-edge contact by using conduits for support, particularly where fiber optic cables face stress or sharp turns.
- Bending Limits: Adhere to the minimum bend radius, usually 10 times the cable diameter, to prevent kinks.
- Smooth Conduit Transitions: Ensure conduits have smooth interior transitions to protect cables. Opt for flexible conduits when possible.
- Tensile Limits: Follow the maximum tensile loading values for fiber optic cables and consult us if unsure.
- Impact and Crushing Prevention: Install fiber optic cables in quality conduits to shield against crush or impact damage, and use soft ties for storage.
- Vertical Rise Compliance: For vertical fiber optic installations, do not exceed the cable’s maximum vertical rise value.
- Load Monitoring: Keep an eye on tensile loads during pulls, especially in vertical installations, starting from the top.
- Regulatory Compliance: Ensure adherence to local and national regulations and obtain necessary permits.
Lay fiber optic cables underground
Effective underground fiber optic cable installation requires strategic planning, regulatory compliance, and careful execution. By employing protective measures like conduits and warning tapes, and opting for minimal-disruption techniques like directional drilling, the cables are safeguarded against physical and environmental threats. Testing post-installation ensures operational integrity, while detailed record-keeping facilitates ongoing maintenance. Safety measures are paramount, safeguarding both the installation team and the public. This streamlined approach ensures a resilient and reliable fiber optic network infrastructure.
Overhead fiber optic installation
Overhead fiber optic installations offer a cost-effective solution in areas where digging is impractical, making it crucial to balance efficiency with the rigorous adherence to safety and quality standards. Specialized equipment, such as aerial lift trucks and cable lashing machines, are utilized to secure the fiber optic cables to the support structures, ensuring they are properly tensioned and have sufficient clearance from other lines. Weather conditions, such as wind and ice, play a significant role in determining the installation specifications, including the use of appropriate cable types and hardware to withstand environmental stresses.
Installing fiber optic cable in home
Bringing high-speed internet connectivity directly to the residence or company’s office is also known as FTTH (Fiber To The Home). The fiber optic lines reach directly to the home’s or company’s router. Fiber To The Desk goes even further with a complete connection with fiber optic cables to the workstation. A well appreciated compromise is FTTB (Fiber To The Building) with a fiber connection to the building, for example the basement. As opposed to the standard fiber optic installation that extends to the public distributor out on the street (Fiber To The Cabinet/Curb), FTTB, FTTH and FTTD networks offer faster transmission speeds and a better connection stability.
At EFB-Elektronik we provide complete system solutions for fiber optic cable installations to the home or company’s premises. Get hold of the most effective and secure FTTX cables and components and contact us, if you have any questions or consultation needs.
