Do the rough numbers yourself, then let us check them.

These calculators give an estimate good enough for a budget conversation. They are not a substitute for a site survey, and the technical desk will review anything before it becomes an order.

Fibre cable selector

02 //

Answer four questions and the tool names the cable family the route calls for, plus the mistake it most often causes.

Recommended family

ADSS rated for 150 metre spans

All dielectric construction avoids an earthing path, which is essential where poles carry power, and it self supports without a messenger.

Watch for this. Order by rated span. Exceeding the rating causes sag, strain and premature failure.

Sized at 12 core. Leave spare fibres for growth, since a second span costs far more than extra cores today.

Answers

Questions about the calculators

How accurate is the bill of materials calculator?+

It gives a working estimate for budgeting and ordering. The technical desk checks the figures before a quotation goes out.

Send the result and the site details and it comes back confirmed.

Which fibre does the selector recommend?+

Single mode for outdoor spans and campus backbones, tight buffered indoor fibre for risers, with ADSS or figure 8 chosen by span and mounting.

Rodent risk and duct conditions decide whether armoured grades are needed.

Does the calculator include consumables?+

Yes. Splice sleeves, pigtails, patch cords, trays and labels are the lines most often forgotten, so they are counted in.

Consumables stall more installations than active gear does.
