CNI have been installing cabling infrastructures for ten years and have gained the experience and expertise to enable us to offer a broad range of cabling solutions.

Our fibre optic cabling installation includes:

• Multimode cables (OM1, OM2 and OM3)
• Singlemode cables (OS1 and OS2)
• Tight Buffered and Loose Tube constructions
• Internal, External and Universal sheath options
• Rodent Resistant, marine and Steel Wire Armoured cables for harsh environments
• Fibre To The Desk (FTTD)
• ST, SC, MT-RJ, LC, terminations

CNI is diverse. Our capabilities range from cabling and jointing, splicing, terminating through to the final testing of completed networks.

We are one of the leading contractors in Ireland undertaking projects to build and manage complete communications networks.

CNI offer the client a full turnkey solution to their requirements.

Optical fibre technology is constantly changing.

CNI pride themselves in having the most up to date equipment and most knowledgeable crews.

We use the most up to date splicing and performance verification equipment (opti-fibre OTDR), providing our clients with detailed test results at each stage of the build process.

CNI uses Fibre Probes to examine installed fibre terminations to ensure terminations are smooth and clean.

Dirt, dust and other contaminants greatly reduces high-speed data transmission over optical fibre cable. Network applications today require more bandwidth, it is critical that all optical connections are clean and free of contaminants to ensure application success.

The CNI Fiber video Microscope puts the solution to contaminated end-faces in the palm of your hand.

With a range of standard and accessory probe tips, end-faces can be inspected when using many different connector types, including LC connectors.

Fusion splicing, if performed correctly will provide the lowest loss when compared to other splicing methods. The process of performing a fusion splice involves applying a focused heat source that will fuse the two fibres together. For this action, a piece of equipment known as a Fusion Splicer is used.

Our Engineers are highly skilled in all aspects of fusion splicing.

External works teams are equipped with Splice Labs and independant power generation so that installations and repairs can be conducted in remote locations such as hilltop radio communications sites, telemetry stations etc

Having had fibre network installed and terminated within a commercial building, road or wind farm, you will want assurance that the cabling infrastructure has been properly installed.

So, how do you tell a good fibre link from a bad fibre link? Furthermore, what's the definition of a good fibre?

CNI utilise the opti-fibre certifying OTDR.  OptiFibre is the first tool specifically designed to keep network owners and installers on top of the latest requirements for testing and certifying fibre networks.

OptiFibre integrates insertion loss and fiber length measurement, OTDR analysis and fibre connector endface imaging to provide a higher tier of fibre certification and diagnostics.

CNI reports and manages all test data to certify to industry and customer specifications, troubleshoot short-haul connection-rich links and thoroughly document their results.
