We supply fiber optic cable in Oman from 2 core to 96 core. It comes for indoor, outdoor and armored installations, in single mode and multimode. The right cable depends on the core count, the fiber type, where it runs and how long it is. So we price each order by quote. Send the details on WhatsApp and we reply with the price, usually the same day.
Fiber optic cable in Oman: indoor, outdoor or armored
| Type | Jacket | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| Indoor | LSZH or PVC, flexible | Inside buildings, risers, server rooms and ceilings |
| Outdoor | Black UV resistant PE, water blocking protection | Duct and conduit runs |
| Armored | Black PE over steel tape or corrugated steel | Direct burial, rodent protection and harsh places |
LSZH means low smoke zero halogen. It gives off little smoke if it burns. Indoor cable has no protection against water or sunlight, so keep it inside. The steel armor in armored cable guards the fibers against rodents and crushing. For a cable hung between poles, tell us, because that needs a self supporting design.
Single mode or multimode fiber optic cable
| Fiber | Core | 1G | 10G |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single mode OS2 | 9/125 micron | Up to 10 km | Up to 10 km |
| Multimode OM1 | 62.5/125 micron | 275 m | 33 m |
| Multimode OM2 | 50/125 micron | 550 m | 82 m |
| Multimode OM3 | 50/125 micron | 550 m | 300 m |
| Multimode OM4 | 50/125 micron | 550 m | 400 m |
These are typical standard distances, and they vary with the equipment. Choose single mode fiber optic cable in Oman for long runs between buildings. Choose multimode for short runs inside one building. The cable and the equipment at both ends must use the same type.
Single mode loses up to 0.36 dB a kilometre at 1310 nm and up to 0.22 dB at 1550 nm. Over 5 km, the cable alone loses up to 1.8 dB at 1310 nm. OM3 loses up to 3.0 dB a kilometre at 850 nm.
How many cores does your fiber optic cable need
| Cores | Typical use |
|---|---|
| 2 or 4 | One link, with spare cores |
| 8 to 24 | Several CCTV cameras or links |
| 48 to 96 | Backbone and telecom runs |
One link normally uses a pair of cores, one for each direction. A single fiber converter uses one core for both directions. So a 12 core cable serves 6 pair links or 12 single fiber links. Count your links, then keep a few spare cores for later. We supply 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 72 and 96 core.

What you need with fiber optic cable
The cable is only one part of a link. Fiber is joined by fusion splicing to pigtails, normally inside an ODF patch panel or a joint box. Patch cords then link the panel to your switch. SFP modules or media converters turn the signal into fiber at each end. Buy your fiber optic cable in Oman with the matching parts, so the whole link comes from one supplier. See our fiber optic products for the pigtails, panels, patch cords and modules.

Common questions
How many cores of fiber optic cable do I need?
One link uses a pair of cores. Use 2 or 4 core for one link. Use 8 to 24 core for several CCTV cameras, and 48 to 96 core for a backbone. Keep a few spare cores.
Can I use indoor fiber optic cable outside?
No. Indoor cable has no protection against water or sunlight. Use outdoor cable in duct, or armored cable for direct burial and rodent protection.
Should I choose single mode or multimode fiber?
Choose single mode OS2 for long runs and links between buildings. Choose multimode for short runs inside one building. Both ends of a link must use the same type.
How much does fiber optic cable cost in Oman?
The price depends on the core count, the fiber type, the cable type and the length. We quote each order on WhatsApp, so you pay for what you need.
