Single-Mode & Multimode (OS2/OM4)
The right fiber type for the distance and bandwidth you actually need.
The backbone that moves your data at the speed of light — single-mode and multimode fiber, fusion spliced, OTDR tested and documented by our own crews.
Copper runs out of room long before your business does. Fiber carries far more bandwidth over far greater distances, immune to the electrical interference that plagues industrial buildings — which is why it belongs in your backbone, between buildings and anywhere a run exceeds what copper can legitimately serve. Stratos Group designs, splices, tests and documents fiber across the Houston metro.
The right fiber type for the distance and bandwidth you actually need.
Precision splices with low loss, not field-crimped shortcuts.
Documented proof every strand performs, not a promise.
Fiber that connects racks, floors and separate buildings.
Tap the solution you care about to see the detail.
Choosing fiber type wrong is expensive twice: once when you buy it and again when you replace it. Multimode OM4 is cost-effective for shorter in-building backbones; single-mode OS2 carries far greater distances and higher bandwidth, and is the right call for campus links and anything you expect to grow into. We specify based on distance, bandwidth and how long you intend the run to last.
WHAT THIS INCLUDES:
A fiber link is only as good as its worst connection. We fusion splice rather than rely on mechanical connectors wherever quality matters, terminate into properly organized enclosures and patch panels, and keep bend radius correct so a run does not quietly lose performance behind a wall.
WHAT THIS INCLUDES:
Fiber problems hide until the worst moment. We test every strand with OTDR and optical loss testing, document the results, and hand you the certification reports — so you have evidence the link performs to standard and a baseline to compare against if something changes later.
WHAT THIS INCLUDES:
Fiber earns its cost where distance and bandwidth matter most: between the main rack and remote IDFs, across floors, and building to building on a campus. We design the backbone so every structure gets full network and camera capacity without the distance limits and interference problems copper hits.
WHAT THIS INCLUDES:
Long runs immune to the interference of heavy equipment.
Backbones that give every structure full capacity.
Bandwidth for imaging systems that copper cannot sustain.
Fiber laid during the build, when it is cheapest to install.
We map pathways, measure real distances and confirm the fiber type each link needs — free.
Strand count, fiber type and pathway documented, with a fixed price.
We install, fusion splice, OTDR test and deliver certification reports.
Fiber is not automatically better; it is better for specific problems. Once a run exceeds roughly 100 meters, copper stops being a legitimate option and fiber becomes the only standards-compliant choice. It is also the answer wherever electrical interference is heavy — factories, warehouses with large motors, buildings with significant electrical infrastructure — because fiber carries light, not current, and simply does not care.
For a normal office drop to a desk, copper is still the correct and cheaper answer. We will tell you plainly which runs justify fiber and which do not, because specifying fiber everywhere is an easy way to inflate a quote without improving anything.
Multimode OM4 handles shorter backbone runs cost-effectively and is common inside a single building. Single-mode OS2 carries dramatically greater distances and higher bandwidth, which makes it the right choice for campus links, building-to-building runs and anywhere you expect bandwidth demands to grow. The cost difference in the cable itself is smaller than most people assume — the real expense is labor and pathway, which is exactly why installing the right fiber and enough strands the first time matters so much.
Fiber faults are invisible until traffic fails, often months after installation. We test every strand with OTDR and optical loss measurement, verify the link against its loss budget, and deliver the certification reports as part of the handover. That documentation does two things: it proves the installation performs to standard today, and it gives you a baseline so a future problem can be isolated quickly instead of debated.
We install and certify fiber optic cabling across the Houston metro from Katy: Houston, Sugar Land, Cypress, Spring, Pearland, The Woodlands, Conroe and Pasadena — in-building backbones, multi-building campuses and industrial sites.
It depends on distance, strand count, fiber type, pathway difficulty and whether the route is indoor, underground or aerial. Labor and pathway usually cost more than the cable itself, so we quote a fixed price after surveying the actual route.
Multimode OM4 is cost-effective for shorter in-building backbones; single-mode OS2 handles far greater distances and higher bandwidth and is the right call for campus links and future growth. We specify based on your measured distances and bandwidth plans.
We fusion splice wherever performance matters, because it produces lower loss and a more reliable link than field-installed mechanical connectors. Every splice is housed in a proper enclosure.
Yes. Every strand is OTDR tested and verified against its optical loss budget, and you receive the certification reports. That documentation is your proof of performance and your baseline for the future.
Yes — underground or aerial depending on the property. Where trenching is impractical or the landlord will not permit it, we also offer point-to-point wireless links that carry full network and camera traffic between buildings.
We've been working with Stratos Group for more than 10 years, and they've been a reliable partner throughout that time. They helped us set up our server infrastructure and have continued to support us with IT issues, network management, and day-to-day technical needs. Whenever something comes up, their team is responsive and works quickly to get us back up and running.What I appreciate most is that they take the time to understand our business and provide practical solutions instead of just quick fixes. Having a dependable IT team gives us confidence that our systems are secure and functioning properly.If you're looking for an IT company that is knowledgeable, responsive, and easy to work with, I would recommend giving Stratos Group a call.Fernando Campos CEO, Kennedy & Campos Associates
