Choose fiber optic cables in Sri Lanka by matching fiber mode, distance, connectors, route and equipment at each end.
Fiber optic cables in Sri Lanka: How do I choose fiber optic cable for a network?
Choose fiber by matching the link distance, required bandwidth, transceivers and equipment, connector type, installation environment and fiber mode. Confirm the complete optical path with the network designer; cable, connector, patch panel and transceiver must work together.
For more information, see the linked published guide. Confirm current models, pricing, stock and warranty with Richcom before ordering.
Should I use single-mode or multimode fiber?
The choice depends on link distance, optics, network equipment and budget. Check the transceiver specifications and planned link design before selecting the cable type.
What should I check about the connector and installation?
Confirm connector type and polish with the connected equipment and patching plan. Consider indoor or outdoor rating, bend limits, pulling method and fire requirements for the installation location.
How should a fiber link be verified?
Follow the installer’s cleaning and inspection process and test the completed link with appropriate equipment. Document the link and label both ends for maintenance.

Frequently asked questions
They are different fiber types and should not be mixed without a specifically designed and compatible system. Match cable and transceivers.
Confirm the connector type and polish required by the equipment and patch panel; do not assume all optics use the same connector.
Use cable with an environmental rating suitable for the installation route. Check the manufacturer datasheet and local installation requirements.
Cable listings typically specify the cable itself; verify the package contents and compatible optics separately.
