It is also one of the most widely used ways of accessing the Internet by both telephone operators and telecommunication companies because of their multiple benefits. Fiber optics has made a difference in data transmission, especially when it comes to **network speed**, bandwidth and reduction of electromagnetic interference. In order to benefit from this way of browsing the Internet and [accessing the data network](https://datacom.televes.com/es) – which has outperformed ADSL, first of all, you need to have a fiber-optic installation to take advantage of speed and **long-distance, lag-free, interference-free connections.** Remote work, video-calls and the increase in online tasks have made it essential for companies and households to feature a fiber-optic infrastructure allowing them to benefit from the [new era of connectivit](https://blogcorporation.televes.com/transporte-%C3%B3ptico/redes-de-transporte-%C3%B3ptico-telev%C3%A9s-corporation)y. If you still have doubts about the importance of having a fiber-optic installation and **having your building’s cabling renovated**, today we will analyze a fiber-optic installation step by step as well as the aspects to be taken into account when renovating telecommunication infrastructures.    ## **Step-by-step fiber-optic installation** Installing fiber optic is more complex and tricky compared to other types of connectivity solutions. When installing fiber optic, it is essential to contact a **team of professional installers** who y are properly trained and, especially, that they have [high-quality equipment](https://www.televes.com/es/datacom.html) in line with your needs: power meter, racks, cabinets, connectors, network electronic equipment, etc. Both the complexity of the fiber-optic installation, and the efficiency of this [connectivit](https://blogcorporation.televes.com/infraestructura-de-telecomunicaciones-y-tv/conoces-datacom-nuestro-nuevo-vertical-de-negocio)y solution are explained by the fact that it is a way of transmitting data performed by means of light signals traveling along the glass and plastic conduits that make up the fiber-optic cable. This is a way of transmitting data through electric pulse that is carried out by reflection and refraction. This process is performed thanks to **fiber strands, which allow data to travel faster, connection to be more efficient, and interference or outages to be reduced** when we are doing tasks that require a good Internet connection such as sharing big files, reducing loading times of a website or when we are watching a show online. Below you will find the information that you should know about the step-by-step installation of fiber optic: 1. ### **Adapting to the conditions of each house to deploy the cable** Depending on how old the house is, **fiber cable will be deployed** differently, adapting to previous infrastructures and to the regulations of each community. The newest buildings already include preinstalled vertical conducts making cable insertion tasks easier. Sometimes, installers opt to use elevator shafts, inner courtyards or facades of old buildings where there is no network-cable pre-installation. We would highly recommend that you confirm whether there is a previous fiber-cable installation before the installer comes to your house. If such was the case, the installation would be faster, as they would only have to focus on the equipment required by your house to use fiber optics. 1. ### **Fiber-optic input at home** The installer will install a **fiber-optic wall socket** in your house. This equipment is necessary so that fiber optic can reach your house. This device is responsible for transforming light signal into electric signals. 1. ### **Installing the router** Lastly, it is time for the router to be installed. Nowadays, this type of equipment is hybrid and features the technologies and converters required so you can access the network connection with just one device (telephone connection for the previous network in the dwelling, Wi-Fi to browse the Internet, and Ethernet ports for wired, IPTV and other kinds of connections). These devices ensure traffic can be prioritized for specific applications such as online games or IPTV. They also feature a basic security layer (firewall) designed to protect us from the most common cyber attacks. Once the installation has been completed, the installer will check **the connection quality and speed** with their professional signal meters, ensuring that your fiber works appropriately. To make sure that every corner of your house benefits from the best connection and network performance, your installer will recommend the best place for the router to be placed. In the end, it is installers who know best the ins and outs of fiber optic and who will carry out an installation aimed at achieving the best performance of your new data network.   ### [Jorge Rocafort Cimadevila](https://blogcorporation.televes.com/en/author/jorge-rocafort-cimadevila) Infrastructure support engineer [Telecommunications and TV infrastructure](https://blogcorporation.televes.com/en/tag/telecommunications-and-tv-infrastructure), [Optical Networks](https://blogcorporation.televes.com/en/tag/optical-networks) ### Digital Transformation: the evolution of 50% of companies ### Luminaire for outdoor sports facilities: Things you should know ### OthersPOSTS #### 28Dec ## [Valencian Community, pioneer in the implementation of smart cities projects in more than 130 municipalities](https://blogcorporation.televes.com/en/valencian-community-pioneer-in-the-implementation-of-smart-cities-projects-in-more-than-130-municipalities) #### 23Oct ## [Televes attends the 37th AMETIC Meeting: "It’s not enough for buildings to be intelligent; they should also be sustainable"](https://blogcorporation.televes.com/en/ametic-meeting) #### 10Oct ## [What is “Call to Europe” and why is it so important for the Spanish radio spectrum?](https://blogcorporation.televes.com/en/what-is-call-to-europe-and-why-is-it-so-important-for-the-spanish-radio-spectrum) ### Categories - [IoT Solutions (27)](https://blogcorporation.televes.com/en/tag/iot-solutions) - [Telecommunications and TV infrastructure (26)](https://blogcorporation.televes.com/en/tag/telecommunications-and-tv-infrastructure) - [Data Network (25)](https://blogcorporation.televes.com/en/tag/data-network) - [TV Network (25)](https://blogcorporation.televes.com/en/tag/tv-network) - [Professional LED Lighting (19)](https://blogcorporation.televes.com/en/tag/professional-led-lighting) - [Corporate (16)](https://blogcorporation.televes.com/en/tag/corporate) - [Hospitality (14)](https://blogcorporation.televes.com/en/tag/hospitality) - [Innovation (11)](https://blogcorporation.televes.com/en/tag/innovation) - [Optical Networks (11)](https://blogcorporation.televes.com/en/tag/optical-networks) - [DataCom (8)](https://blogcorporation.televes.com/en/tag/datacom) - [Lighting (8)](https://blogcorporation.televes.com/en/tag/lighting) - [Smart Building (8)](https://blogcorporation.televes.com/en/tag/smart-building) - [Healthcare (6)](https://blogcorporation.televes.com/en/tag/healthcare) - [Supply Management (6)](https://blogcorporation.televes.com/en/tag/supply-management) - [Broadcast (4)](https://blogcorporation.televes.com/en/tag/broadcast) - [Digital Signage (4)](https://blogcorporation.televes.com/en/tag/digital-signage) - [Signal Measurement (4)](https://blogcorporation.televes.com/en/tag/signal-measurement) - [Telecom TV (4)](https://blogcorporation.televes.com/en/tag/telecom-tv) - [Engineering services (2)](https://blogcorporation.televes.com/en/tag/engineering-services) - [IT (2)](https://blogcorporation.televes.com/en/tag/it) - [Manufacturing (2)](https://blogcorporation.televes.com/en/tag/manufacturing) - [Metal Structures (2)](https://blogcorporation.televes.com/en/tag/metal-structures) - [Optical Transport (2)](https://blogcorporation.televes.com/en/tag/optical-transport) - [Smart Buildings (2)](https://blogcorporation.televes.com/en/tag/smart-buildings) - [Caravaning (1)](https://blogcorporation.televes.com/en/tag/caravaning) - [Iluminación LED Profesional (1)](https://blogcorporation.televes.com/en/tag/iluminación-led-profesional) - [Measurement (1)](https://blogcorporation.televes.com/en/tag/measurement) - [Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) (1)](https://blogcorporation.televes.com/en/tag/printed-circuit-boards-pcbs) - [Production (1)](https://blogcorporation.televes.com/en/tag/production) - [Sociosanitario (1)](https://blogcorporation.televes.com/en/tag/sociosanitario) See all ### LEAVE THE COMMENT ![Televes](https://blogcorporation.televes.com/hubfs/logo-square.png) ### CONTACT - Rúa B. de Conxo, 17 Santiago de Compostela, 15706 - A Coruña, España Tfno: +34 981 522 200 Fax: +34 981 522 262 Email: info@televescorporation.com ### LINKS [Legal advice](http://en.televes.com/telcor-legal) [Privacy policy](http://en.televes.com/telcor-privacy) [Cookies advise](https://televescorporation.com/cookies-advice/?lang=en) © 2026 **TELEVES CORPORATION** ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
