Optical Fibre patchcords are a defining factor in ensuring your network performs to the highest level. A patchcord can be split into three key components; the connector, the cable, and the manufacturing process. These three areas all contribute to the performance of a patchcord, but it is the manufacturing process that defines the performance of the assembly. Whilst the cable and connectors used in FibreFab optical fibre patchcords are the best available, it is our expertise in production that sets our products apart. FibreFab has 15 years experience in GB6198 Fibre Optic & Networking Products FibreFab 9/125 (OS1) Optical Fibre Patchcords manufacturing fibre optic cable assemblies from using Biconic and SMA through to ST, SC to today’s Small Form Factor (SFF) connectors like the LC, MU or MT-RJ. If you have a fibre network, no matter what the technology, FibreFab can offer you a solution. Multimode & Singlemode applications ST/SC/FC/LC/E2000/ MU Connector types.
