Fibre

Gem Cable Communications install and terminate all types of fibre cabling, all across the UK. The majority of our fibre customers are based in London, but we cover the whole of the UK, and even Mainland Europe.

Whether you require a complete fibre installation in a datacentre, or simply require an existing cable to be re-terminated, Gem Cable's skilled fibre engineers are ready to help. All our terminations are achieved by fusion splicing on site, using pre-terminated and pre-tested fibre pigtails, ensuring a first class result every time
