The Final Metres: A Pro's Guide to Essential Fibre Accessories

A high-performance fibre optic network is about more than just pulling the best cable. The quality, reliability, and manageability of your entire system comes down to the final metres and the precision of the connection points. Using high-quality fibre accessories is non-negotiable for achieving a low-loss, professional-grade installation.

At SCHNAP, we stock a wide range of essential fibre accessories, designed to help professional technicians and engineers connect, manage, and protect any singlemode or multimode network.

Connecting & Adapting Your Network

We have all the components you need to link your fibre infrastructure together seamlessly.

• Fibre Optic Adaptors: Used to connect two fibre patch leads together, typically within a patch panel or wall outlet (FOBOT). We stock a huge range of through-connectors to suit all common types, including SC, LC, ST, and high-density MTP, in both simplex and duplex configurations.
• Fibre Attenuators: Think of these as sunglasses for your optical signal. An attenuator is used to precisely reduce the power of a signal that is too strong, preventing it from overloading the receiver's electronics. They are a critical tool for balancing light levels in complex systems.

Splitting & Managing Your Fibre

For distributing signals and keeping terminations organised, we have the professional hardware you need.

• Optical Splitters: These clever devices take a single optical input and split it into multiple outputs. They are the core component in Passive Optical Network (PON) applications, such as in fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) rollouts.
• Breakout Trays & Enclosure Kits (FOBOTs): The professional way to manage and protect your fibre terminations. Our FOBOTs (Fibre Optic Break-Out Trays) and enclosure kits provide a secure, organised housing for your splice trays and adaptors, perfect for rack-mounting or wall-mounting.

Protecting Your Splices

A fusion splice is an incredible piece of engineering, but it's incredibly delicate.

• Splice Protectors: These small heat-shrink sleeves are a must-have for any fusion splicing job. They slide over the splice and are heated to create a rigid, protective shield, ensuring the long-term integrity of the connection.
