ADC’s OmniReach Hub in a Pedestal is the ideal solution for deploying fiber to small or rural communities of 12 to 96 homes.

Enclosed in a pedestal, this field-friendly unit can accommodate a variety of installation locations and needs. Unlike a metal cabinet, it can be placed in the ground with-out installing a handhole or pour-ing a concrete pad. This expedites the deployment of fiber to the home and reduces overall project costs.

The Hub in Pedestal incorporates many of the same pat-ented design features as ADC’s industry-leading FDH 3000 cabinet, including plug-and-play splitter modules, parking lot storage and a swing frame. Installers have the option of adding hardened drop connections directly to the pedestal to accom-modate low-cost business models.

Engineered for efficient cable routing and management, the Hub in Pedestal will meet the challenges of any rural fiber de-ployment in the outside plant network.

Extended Reach-40Km GPON: In the fall of 2008, Calix announced a break-through in extending the reach of the GPON standard from 20 km to 33 km. This innovation was enabled by changes to the GPON stan-dard implemented in 2008.

Calix quickly developed a new Optical Interface Mod-ule (OIM) for its C7 OLT to enable customers to exploit these changes in the GPON standard. With the new soft-ware release (6.1) on the C7 platform, the extended reach GPON is now able to serve customers up to 40 km from the OLT. All existing Calix 700 ONTs support this capability. The end result: Service providers can quadruple the size of their GPON service areas by simply plugging in an OIM module at the serving office, thereby eliminating the expense of building and operating remote cabinets. This is another Calix innova-tion for serving rural communities with FTTP. Visit us at the Broadband Properties Summit, Booth # 118.

Charles Fiber Flexibility Pedestals (CFFP) offer a scalable, low-cost alternative to placing centralized split points (also known as fiber distribution hubs, or FDH) in the outside plant. Unlike metallic cabinets, CFFPs are flood-proof and can be installed in almost any location. Their compact size compared with large cabinets makes them easier to install and ideally suited to small communities and neighborhoods. Rights-of-way are no longer a concern and the units can be economically placed directly in the ground without the need for an expensive pad. A two-stage “enclo-sure within an enclosure” design provides superior protection of the inner interconnect panel, split-ter storage and fiber rout-ing. CFFPs are available in four sizes with up to 72, 96, 144 and 288 fi-ber counts, and are pre-stubbed with feed and distribution cables that are factory tested. One-size-fits-all splitter mod-ules can be used in any model CFFP.

Draka MDU Cable Featuring BendBright-XS: Draka’s BendBright family of fiber optic cable com-bines the unlimited transmission capacity of optical fiber with copper-like flexibility and handling, like installing around 90-degree corners and even stapling the cables. BendBright-XS is particularly suitable for MDU applications because it uses Draka’s standard, time-proven PCVD manufacturing process and trench technology – which means you can easily splice or connectorize BendBright-XS to legacy fiber in your network. Draka’s new MDU product line features:

• Premium bending-loss performance at all single-mode fiber transmission wavelengths

• The ability to withstand repeated bending to in-credibly small radii

• Backward compatibility and the use of space-sav-ing components

• 100 times better bending improvement over standard sin-gle-mode fiber

• Standard (2.9 mm diameter) and heavy-duty (4.8 mm di-ameter) designs in indoor or indoor/outdoor flame ratings

• Availability with or without connectors – standard or pre-mium HLC ScratchGuard connector technology.

Enablence Systems’ ideal solution for m u l t i - d w e l l i n g units is the TRI-DENT7 Compact Optical Line Ter-minal (COLT) with the ONT-G888 optical net-work terminal, which allow net-work operators to serve high-density MDU complexes with a state-of-the-art gig-abit passive optical network (GPON). Deployed with a G.984 GPON-compliant interface module, the COLT provides up to eight PON ports. Using a 1x32 split from each PON port, the COLT connects up to 256 ONT-G888 ONTs.

Each ONT-G888 serves as many as eight subscribers each with 100 Mbps of data service, POTS, RF and IP video, provid-ing network operators and/or MDU management with many options to attract customers/tenants, provide new services and generate revenue. The COLT requires only two rack units (2 RU) of space. Because it is temperature-hardened it may be deployed in non-climate-controlled cabinets. In a high-rise de-ployment, the COLT can be placed in the basement with the ONTs, or the ONTs can be deployed on each floor.

Hitachi Node+Zero RFOG Module: Designed as a universal single-fiber FTTP (fiber-to-the-prem-ises) solution for HFC (hybrid fiber/coax) network op-erators, the Hitachi Node+Zero RFOG (Radio Frequency over Glass) module enables a fiber optic connection from the

headend to the subscriber, reducing costly active components in the network. Research shows that operating expense can be reduced by up to 80 percent in a new RFOG build, and by up to 67 percent in an RFOG upgrade of existing HFC network (The Broadband Group, 2009). This savings is ongoing, not just one-time, and represents a powerful positive impact to the net-work operator’s bottom line.

The Hitachi Node+Zero module follows the specifications of the emerging SCTE RFOG standards initiative, allowing CATV operators to leverage existing headend equipment and to migrate to passive optical network (PON) technology as market conditions warrant.

EZ-Bend Optical Cables help speed and simplify indoor optical drop cable installations using break-through technology pio-neered by OFS. They can be routed around corners and behind moldings, and stapled using traditional fast and easy “copper-like” instal-lation practices, with negligible signal loss. Ideal for aggressive routing environments where space is at a premium, EZ-Bend Cables offer reliable support for MDU drop and in-home wir-ing applications, and support HDTV, on-demand video and many other revenue-generating services.

Available in indoor/outdoor, riser, plenum, and low-smoke-zero-halogen constructions, the EZ-Bend Cables feature 4.8 mm or 3.0 mm diameter ruggedized simplex cordages offer-ing less than 0.1 dB macrobending attenuation at 1550 nm for 1 turn at 5 mm fiber bend radius. Their solid fiber con-struction enables macrobending performance far better than ITU G.657B requirements, and backward compatibility with installed G.652D fibers.

Pace-Built QAM Headends: Pace International has teamed up with Televes USA, a manu-facturer of premium-quality QAM hardware that supports HD and digital services for MDU and commercial appli-cations. Pace is the primary distributor for the hardware in the United States. Televes, based in Spain, was the first company to introduce QAM technology to the DBS market-place. QAM technology allows HD and other high-bandwidth digital content to be distrib-

uted through existing wiring in a building, using a headend and customer devices for individual subscribers. The technology allows properties to offer digital video content to residents at a very low cost for entry when compared to other solutions. The Televes CDC Headend Management System lets you monitor the headend locally or via remote control (using a modem). This feature will save the operator time by reducing truck rolls to check operating status. This will also enable the service techni-cian to accurately diagnose problems and solve them remotely or ensure that the proper replacements are brought to the site.

TWiN Lock Connec-tor: This small, compact universal F connector holds just as much street credit as – if not more than – the stan-dard F connectors in the mar-ket today. From its complete blockage of water migration to its superb 75 pounds of pull strength, the TWiN lock not only meets SCTE standards but exceeds them as well. The pat-ented twin 360-degree compression-style connection allows a full contact of metal drawn down on the cable itself, as op-posed to a friction-based connection on standard F connectors. The TWiN Lock not only performs and protects your signal better, but it also saves you money compared with the standard connectors in the market today. The TWiN Lock is available in F, RCA and BNC.
