The Speed of Light: A Pro's Guide to High-Performance Fibre Cable

When your network demands the absolute maximum in speed, distance, and immunity to electrical interference, there is no substitute for a fibre optic backbone. Choosing the right fibre cable is the foundational step in building a network that’s ready for the massive data demands of today and tomorrow.

At SCHNAP, our complete Fibre Cable range is engineered for high-performance networks, industrial control systems, and enterprise-grade data centres, providing the ultimate in speed and reliability.

Singlemode vs. Multimode: What's the Right Fibre for the Job?

Understanding the two core types of fibre cable is the key to a successful network design.

• Multimode Fibre Cable (OM3/OM4): The workhorse for internal network backbones. Multimode fibre is designed for high-bandwidth applications over shorter distances, such as within a data centre, across an office floor, or linking buildings on a small campus. OM4 offers a higher bandwidth and longer reach than OM3, making it the preferred choice for new installations.
• Singlemode Fibre Cable (OS2): When you need to go the distance, you need singlemode. OS2 fibre cable has a much smaller core that allows light to travel in a single path, enabling it to transmit data over many kilometres with incredibly low signal loss. It's the standard for telecommunications, long-haul campus links, and any application requiring maximum distance.

Built for Any Aussie Environment

Our fibre cable is available in a range of constructions to suit any installation environment.

• Indoor-Outdoor Riser Cable: A versatile option with a durable jacket that is suitable for running between floors inside a building and continuing the run outside to another location.
• Underground-Rated Cable: Built tough for the harshest Aussie conditions. This heavy-duty cable features moisture-blocking elements and a ruggedised jacket, making it perfect for direct burial or installation in underground conduits.

Solutions to Speed Up Your Installation

We offer fibre cable in a variety of formats to streamline your project:

• Bulk Drums & Custom Lengths: For professional installers pulling and terminating their own runs.
• Pre-Terminated Assemblies: The ultimate time-saver. We can supply cable cut to your exact length with connectors professionally terminated and tested in a clean-room environment, ready for plug-and-play deployment.

Trusted Brands for Mission-Critical Data

When performance is non-negotiable, you need to trust your components. We stock high-quality, compliant fibre cable from industry-leading brands including Certech, Cabac, Legrand, and Allen-Bradley (for industrial applications).
