Match fibre type to distance, transceivers, connectors and cabinet requirements before ordering.
Overview
Single-mode and multimode fibre serve different network designs. ATTAC helps installers compare connector type, route distance, splitter needs and accessory quantities before quoting.
Quick answer
Use single-mode for longer routes, FTTH/FTTB and outside plant work. Use multimode for shorter internal links where the equipment and distance support it.
What to specify
State fibre type, connector type, polish, length, core count, cabinet layout and whether pigtails, adapters, splitters or trays are required.
Common ordering mistake
Do not order only the main cable or patch lead. Fibre jobs often stall because pigtails, midcouplers, splice trays, labels or consumables were missed.

Common questions
Is single-mode better than multimode?
Not always. Single-mode is better for long-distance and many carrier-style networks, while multimode can be suitable for short internal links with compatible equipment.
Can ATTAC help with connector choices?
Yes. Send connector type, equipment ports and cabinet requirements through the RFQ basket or sales contact form.
