FAQs | NETMAX - Frequently Asked Questions About Fiber & Telecom

What types of fiber optic cables does NETMAX deploy?

We deploy single-mode (OS2) fiber for long-distance, high-bandwidth applications, and multimode (OM3/OM4) fiber for shorter distances within buildings and campuses. All cables meet or exceed TIA/EIA and ISO/IEC standards. We also offer specialized cables for harsh environments, aerial installations, and direct burial applications.

What is the difference between FTTH and FTTx?

FTTH (Fiber-to-the-Home) brings fiber directly to individual residences, while FTTx (Fiber-to-the-x) is a broader term where "x" represents the endpoint: FTTB (Building), FTTC (Curb), FTTP (Premises), etc. We design solutions based on your specific deployment needs and infrastructure requirements.

How long does a typical fiber deployment project take?

Project timelines vary based on scope and complexity. A typical office building deployment takes 2-4 weeks, while campus-wide networks may take 1-3 months. We provide detailed timelines during the planning phase and work diligently to meet agreed deadlines without compromising quality.
