FIBER OPTICS
From design to certification. End-to-end optical engineering.
Corporate backbones, data centers, industrial environments and high-capacity networks depend on optical infrastructure that can transport data with predictable performance and reliability.
Add Solution works across the entire cycle: assessment, design, cable installation, assembly, splicing, termination, organization, identification, testing, certification and documentation.
With qualified professionals and specialized instrumentation, we turn the physical installation into measured, validated infrastructure ready to support operations.

Arquitetura, execução e operação tratadas como partes da mesma responsabilidade.
BEYOND DEPLOYMENT
Installing fiber is one step. Delivering a validated link is the project.
A professional deployment connects design, routes, infrastructure, cable installation, placement, splices, terminations, identification, measurement, certification and documentation.
We do not deliver only a connected fiber. We deliver infrastructure whose condition can be measured, documented and validated.
OPTICAL DESIGN
Before installing the cable, we need to understand what the link must support.
Fiber is the medium. The design defines how it will support the network, considering application, capacity, topology, environment, expansion and interconnections.
Application
Capacity, speed and transported services.
Topology
Architecture, interconnections and redundancy.
Fiber type
Characteristics aligned with the application and its evolution.
Routes
Paths, environment and physical protection.
Terminations
Optical distribution frames, enclosures, connectors and organization.
Optical budget
Path contributions and required margin.
Documentation
Identification, results and traceability.
Application, optics and distance must work together.
OS1 and OS2 can serve different applications and distances depending on transceivers, standards, architecture, existing infrastructure and planned evolution.
Speed and reach are not simply a matter of “near or far.”
OM3, OM4 and OM5 have specific applications. Speed, distance, transceivers and total cost must guide the decision, with no universal hierarchy among fiber types.
OPTICAL BACKBONES
As capacity, distance and availability requirements grow, the backbone begins to define the network limit.
Fiber can support campuses, buildings, data centers, equipment rooms, industrial environments, distribution centers and corporate networks with capacity, scalability and immunity to electromagnetic interference.
Corporate Networks Industrial Networks Data CenterFiber optics require care even before the first splice.
Routes, conduits, cable trays, enclosures, placement, bend radius, pulling tension, mechanical protection, service loops and identification influence the link’s final condition.
Final performance also begins with how the cable was installed.
Physical organization is also part of reliability.
Optical distribution frames, enclosures, trays, pigtails, adapters, patch cords, service loops and identification support protection, maintenance, traceability, diagnostics and expansion.
Each splice becomes part of the optical path.
Preparation, cleaving, splicing, protection, placement, organization, identification and validation must form a single execution process.
Making the splice is an operation. Measuring the result is engineering.
A microscopic surface can cause a macroscopic problem.
Cleaning, inspection when applicable, and proper handling of connectors, adapters and patch cords reduce the risk of loss and instability caused by contamination or damage.
MEASUREMENT & CERTIFICATION
Optical infrastructure should not be approved merely because the link came up.
Add Solution has instrumentation for measurement, analysis and certification according to the requirements, limits, methods and standards applicable to the project.
OTDR
Characterizes events and behavior along the link.
OLTS
Evaluates end-to-end optical loss using the applicable method.
Power meter
Measures power and supports optical loss testing.
Fusion splicer
Performs fusion splices with appropriate preparation and protection.
An active link answers: communication exists. Certification answers: the link meets the defined criteria.
OTDR turns kilometers of fiber into a reading of link behavior.
The Optical Time Domain Reflectometer helps identify and characterize connectors, splices, reflections, localized losses, bends in certain scenarios, breaks and distance to events.
SOURCE ━ SPLICE ━ EVENT ━ CONNECTOR ━ DESTINATION
It does not show continuity alone. It helps indicate where the link is losing performance.
Locating events and measuring total loss are complementary analyses.
Source, power meter, OLTS, insertion loss, wavelengths, reference and project limits enable end-to-end loss evaluation under the applicable method.
Different tools answer different questions.
Each component consumes part of the margin available to the link.
Fiber, distance, connectors, splices, splitters when applicable, and other elements contribute to total loss. The system power budget must not be confused with the infrastructure loss limit.
TX → CONNECTOR → FIBER → SPLICE → FIBER → CONNECTOR → RX
Light reaching the other end is not a certificate.
Continuity asks whether a path exists. Measurement observes behavior and loss. Certification verifies whether results meet the criteria defined for the link, application and applicable standard.
Replacing the entire cable should not be the first assumption.
Instrumentation makes it possible to investigate excessive loss, breaks, contamination, splices, bends, reflections, patching and physical degradation before intervention.
Measuring before intervening reduces trial and error.
Evidence-guided intervention.
Add Solution can address breaks, splices, replacements, reterminations, reorganization, expansion, branches, diagnostics and recertification according to scope.
PHYSICAL REDUNDANCY
Two fibers on the same path may still represent a single dependency.
Logical redundancy and physical diversity are different concepts. When availability requires redundant paths, routes and shared points must be analyzed.
ROUTE APHYSICAL DIVERSITYROUTE B
SD-WAN & Connectivity
The physical medium must also suit the environment.
Distances, electromagnetic interference, routes, protection, topology, redundancy and integration guide the use of fiber without making it mandatory in every scenario.
Industrial NetworksOptical interconnections support critical data paths.
Uplinks, backbones, storage networking where relevant, and connections between equipment and areas require design, organization and validation.
Data Center Servers & StorageA project ends better when it can be understood afterward.
Depending on scope, identification, maps, routes, source and destination, fibers, splices, terminations, results, reports and as-built documentation improve traceability, maintenance, diagnostics and expansion.
Optical infrastructure must adapt to context.
Add Solution has experience in distribution and logistics centers, hospitals, industrial facilities and companies across different sectors, respecting their specific physical and operational requirements.

Decisões importantes sobre Fibra Óptica
Respostas objetivas para dúvidas técnicas e operacionais que costumam surgir antes de um projeto.
01Link ativo significa enlace certificado?
Não. Comunicação demonstra funcionalidade; certificação verifica resultados diante dos critérios e limites definidos para o projeto e aplicação.
02OTDR e OLTS fazem o mesmo teste?
Não. O OTDR caracteriza eventos ao longo do enlace. OLTS e power meter avaliam a perda óptica end-to-end conforme o método de teste.
03Fibra monomodo é sempre melhor que multimodo?
Não. Aplicação, distância, velocidade, transceptores, infraestrutura existente, evolução e custo total orientam a escolha.
04A Add Solution realiza fusões e reparos?
Sim. A atuação pode envolver emendas, reterminações, reorganização, expansão, diagnóstico, recuperação e recertificação conforme o escopo.
05Duas fibras representam redundância física?
Não necessariamente. Se compartilham a mesma rota e os mesmos pontos de risco, podem continuar representando uma única dependência física.
06Quais instrumentos a Add Solution utiliza?
A equipe dispõe de OTDR, OLTS, optical power meter, máquinas de fusão e instrumentação especializada de diferentes fabricantes para execução e validação.
