Fibre Optic Installation & Management

Single-mode, multimode and POF fibre networks — design, trenching, splicing, termination and OTDR certification over long distances.

Overview

What we deliver

From design to deployment, KOTES installs high-speed fibre optic networks including single-mode, multi-mode and plastic optical fibre. Our teams have delivered outside-plant fibre routes, last-mile connectivity and OPGW installations on national backbone projects.

Work includes route survey and civil works, cable laying, splicing, termination, testing and certification of fibre systems — ensuring seamless data transmission over long distances with minimal signal loss.

Every route is handed over with OTDR traces, splice records and route drawings so future faults can be located in minutes rather than days.

Key benefits

  • Long-haul capability

    Proven on national backbone and outside-plant routes, not only in-building runs.

  • Certified terminations

    OTDR-tested splices with loss budgets documented per link at handover.

  • Civil works included

    Trenching, ducting and reinstatement managed in-house, so one contract covers the whole route.

  • Minimal downtime

    Phased cutovers planned around your operating hours to keep services live.

Our process

Every engagement follows the same sequence, so you always know which stage you are in and what the next deliverable is.

  1. Route survey

    Field survey of the proposed route, obstacles, way-leaves and permit requirements.

  2. Design & loss budget

    Route design, fibre count selection and an end-to-end optical loss budget.

  3. Civil works

    Trenching, ducting, chambers and reinstatement executed to specification.

  4. Cabling & splicing

    Cable pulling or blowing, fusion splicing, termination and enclosure fit-out.

  5. OTDR certification

    Bidirectional OTDR testing, splice records and as-built route documentation.
