Blowing
Emcab cables are rigid yet flexible enough to be installed into tubes and include many options for installation by blowing.
Ducting
Fiber optic cables include dielectric and metallic cables for ducts and utility tunnels.
Direct Buried
Fiber optic cables designed for high reliability in harsh environment.
Submarine
Robust designs applied in the sea between land-based stations to carry telecommunication signals.
Aerial
Aerial cables are designed for installation on distribution and transmission lines.
Indoor
Applied inside buildings (including vertical runs), in trays, channels, on outer sides of buildings, as well as in ducts, tubes and blocks. Suitable for blowing-in into protecting polyethylene tubes.
Drop
Designed for aerial installation on transmission towers, lamp posts, between buildings and structures.
OPGW/Ground Wire
Applied in the construction of fiber-optic link on overhead transmission lines of 35 kV and more.
Fire Rated
Used for stationary installation when the optical fiber needs extra protection from mechanical damages.

Emtelle, the leading global manufacturer of pre-connectorised, blown fibre cable and ducted network solutions, today launched its brand-new Fibre Termination Facility in response to the rising demand for pre-connectorised fibre solutions globally – enabling operators to deploy Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) faster and more efficiently.

The opening of the Fibre Termination Facility, which is located at Emtelle’s Centre of Excellence in Hawick, Scotland, comes as homes and businesses demand to be connected quicker and more effectively than ever before.
The role of the facility will be to cut and polish the fibre, so that it is readily available for operators to connect directly to customers’ homes. This specialised process is the first of its kind to be implemented inhouse within a European fibre cabling and microduct manufacturing facility – providing a unique and enhanced offering to operators across the globe.
“As the demand for fibre broadband continues to grow at an exponential rate in many countries, operators are under increasing pressure to lay fibre straight to the doors of end-users faster than ever before,” said Colin Kirkpatrick, Solutions Director at Emtelle. “The launch of our brand-new Fibre Termination Facility is pivotal in satisfying this increased need, providing our customers and operators with not only a high-quality product but also a highly efficient turnaround. We place a high value on customer service at Emtelle, and the opening of the facility further demonstrates our ongoing commitment to meeting the needs of today’s pre-connectorised solution market. It was also a privilege to have Jamie Hepburn open the facility. At Emtelle, we pride ourselves on innovation, and it was great to have this recognised by such a well-respected individual in Scottish Government.”
The Fibre Termination Facility was opened by Jamie Hepburn, the Minister for Business, Fair Work & Skills. Hepburn is visiting businesses across the region who are showing innovative manufacturing techniques and have plans for further development.
Emtelle has extensive experience in the development of innovative pre-connectorised fibre cabling solutions that allow for a more straightforward, quicker installation, meaning more premises can be connected more efficiently worldwide.
