DAY 1 THE INCOMPAS SHOW
Operators are looking for ways to speed
up fiber deployments at multidwelling
units (MDU), as well as single-family
units (SFU).
The question they ask is how to bring fiber
deeper into the home or business without
exceeding budgets or having to sacrifice
anything in network performance and reliability.
In a post by CommScope’s Corporate Communi-
cations Manager Joseph P. Depa III that appears
on the company’s blog page, Product Manager
Kathy Terryll explains how the company’s new
FTTx offerings provide operators with solutions
that speed up fiber installs and helps to increase
property values.
Trends in fiber optic deployments are moving
toward a network architecture that drives fiber
deeper to various stages of the FTTx network,
and ultimately into individual homes. Equipment
providers need to offer solutions that address
the larger challenges of meeting targeted
budgets, while still addressing shorter timelines
for fiber deployments.
Customers also want complete product offer-
ings streamlined to meet their full end-to-end
architecture needs. Walker & Associates distrib-
utes the CommScope solutions.
Optical fiber continues to gain popularity as
one of the best broadband mediums for future-
proofing against higher and faster capacity
requirements by end users. While some have
concluded the existence of optical connectivity
in MDUs, office buildings and even SFUs may
increase property values, fiber connectivity as
part of the building structure has become an
expected service for users.
The acquisition of the BNS business from TE
Connectivity significantly expanded CommScope’s
fiber portfolio to deliver more innovative solutions.
CommScope now solves more of its customers’
challenges, and serves more customers around
the globe with new FTTx solutions.
The company’s mini Rapid Fiber distribution
terminal (RDT), available in indoor and outdoor
MDU applications, gives service providers a
plug-and-play box to get fiber to users faster.
Using its RapidReel cable spool, the mini
RDT can deploy several hundred feet of fiber
cable quickly, which lowers installation costs.
Both the indoor/outdoor cable and plenum
cable models are available.
The RapidReel cable spool and multifiber
cable with connectors help to reduce site
survey inspections, and the reel spool offers
a clean, neat way to store any excess cable
quickly. The mini RDT minimizes product varia-
tions in inventory and provides “on-the-fly”
cable length adjustments to speed up overall
MDU installations.
The new optical wall box (OWB-S) is a small
outdoor fiber termination solution for connecting
fiber-to-the-home devices, used in outdoor
above-ground applications. The OWB can
be attached easily to the SFU or small MDU
building. As a premise connection box, it offers
multiple cable access points to transition from
outdoor to indoor fiber deployment applications.
A YouTube video located at
also
features Terryll showing service providers how to
speed up fiber installations on premises with the
new fiber solutions.
