The COFITEL Group presents new fire-resistant fiber optic cables manufactured by OPTRAL at its facilities in Barcelona and Fraga, many of which comply with the European CPR standard. This type of cables has a special flame retardant polyethylene or flame retardant PVC sheath instead of a conventional sheath. This modification in the materials does not alter the structure, dimensions or transmission. Certified to B2ca CPR and FE180 fire-resistance standards, these cables maintain optical integrity under extreme heat and flame exposure—ideal for tunnels, hospitals, airports, industrial plants, data centers, and railway networks. In emergency scenarios, uninterrupted connectivity can save lives. In Spain, Tratos significantly expanded its operations by acquiring TELNET Fiber Optic S. in 2024, strengthening its presence in the Iberian market. TELNET is located in La Muela, Zaragoza, and has been a key player in the fibre optic industry since its establishment. The facility covers 12,000.
