Top 6 Reasons to Buy Custom Fiber Optic Cables from PacRad

Top 6 Reasons to Buy Custom Fiber Optic Cables from PacRad

Custom Fiber at Pacific Radio

Building a custom fiber network? Purchasing high quality, reliable custom cable assemblies will ensure your network runs smoothly and snag free.

If you’re on a tight budget, standard fiber cables might do the trick (we offer a stock line of fiber cable assemblies from all the major brands), but custom cables are in a class of their own.

By building your own custom fiber optic cables with PacRad you can choose:

  • The exact type of cable you need (Example: singlemode or multimode)
  • The length of your cable
  • The color of your fiber
  • The brand of your choice (We feature leading brands such as Neutrik, Canare, LEMO, Belden and Corning)

PacRad’s custom fiber optic cables are individually designed to meet all of your critical application networking needs. Custom-made in the USA by expert skilled technicians, each cable is rigorously tested for quality performance.

Types of Custom Fiber Optic Cables

We carry many different types of fiber optic cables to choose from. Some of these include:

Multimode Fiber

Multimode fiber has multiple modes, meaning light waves are distributed among several paths as they travel along the core. This cable is best for medium distances, as greater distances could cause distortion due to overlapping pulses of light, resulting in incomplete transmissions of data. For high bandwidth Gigabit applications, single mode fiber would be the way to go.

Single Mode Fiber

Need a higher transmission rate and more distance? Better, but costlier than multimode, single mode fiber comes with a smaller core that eliminates distortion due to single light-wave technology. It also comes with a much relatively higher transmission speed and can cover 50 times the distance of multimode cable.

SMPTE

The cable of choice for uncompressed HD cameras, SMPTE cables are designed to facilitate greater distances that coax cables can simply not provide. Transmitting audio video signals and delivering power, these cables are designed to meet the requirements of demanding applications that require high-speed, uncompressed high-definition audio and video transmissions, over longer distances. Excellent for outdoor broadcasting!

opticalCON

These ruggedized, multi-channel, superior fiber optic cables are designed to meet the heavy demands of the entertainment industry, outside broadcasting, high traffic areas and rental houses. With a unique shutter type system that guarantees minimal maintenance from dust, water and more, opticalCON cables offer excellent bend resistance and flexibility with unparalleled durability.

  • Lighting Control Systems
  • Live Staging
