1977: CommScope enters the Optical Fiber BusinessSold a standard loose-tube OSP cable
CommScope is a Market Leader in FiberOthers project themselves as leaders, yet…
SYSTIMAX led the way with the LC connector in ’95, Reducing panel and closet space required for fiber-optics by 50%
Others backed the MTRJ, where is it now?
LazrSPEED 300 was available in August ‘98Others followed two years later
LazrSPEED 550 was available in October ‘01Others released theirs three years later
CommScope OM3 and OM4 fiber tested to BOTH DMD and EMBcOthers fight over which test method is more accurate
OM4 Standard (2009) is based on LazrSPEED 550 SpecificationsOthers had to update their spec in 2009 - Their pre-standard fiber is ???
Loose-tube Data Center cable in mid-2005Others backing away from ribbon for low fiber count cables starting in Jan.’07
Our SM ISP attenuation spec is now 0.5 / 0.5 dB/kmOthers are still 1.0 / 0.75 for plenum tight-buffered fiber cables
2005: CommScope develops the ROC connectorShipboard connectors used in F22 Fighter Planes and Tomahawk Missiles
InstaPATCH Solution is the Premium Data Center SolutionOnly Solution that is both Standards Compliant and does NOT need
any Special Polarity-correcting Components
CommScope is Preparing for Future Enterprise ApplicationsStandards work, Parallel Optic and High Data Rate Applications
LazrSPEED cable attenuation has been 3.0 dB since 2002Others matched only in 2006
CommScope OM4 360 Solution allows 100G up to 170 meters IEEE 100G Standard (Draft) states 125 - 150 meters for standard OM4 fiber

Why Does it Help to Understand the Basics of Fiber Manufacturing or Testing?
The manufacturing method does matterAffects ability to upgrade electronics
Any company can claim performanceBandwidth often specified BEFORE fiber is cabledBandwidth rarely independently tested
End Users are looking for helpHow is CommScope 300 meter fiber different than anyone else’s?How does the end user know CommScope (or any) product will meet the required performance for 20 years?
Helps to back up your recommendation and use of premium productsLazrSPEED 300 and 550 will go the distanceThe right solution won’t have to be replaced with the next wave of electronics upgrades
Light Propagation: Total internal reflection is required for light to travel through an optical fiber

Reflection Total Internal Reflection
• Light will always change speed and direction when it moves from one substance (IOR) to another.
• The index of refraction for both core and cladding plus the angle of incidence determines whether reflection or refraction occurs

DMD vs. EMBcDon’t get caught up in the debate
DMD is a measurement process, EMBc is a calculation based upon these measurements
Therefore the DMD measurements are extremely important for the accuracy of both methods
EMBc uses a set up vcsels as “representatives” to determine the expected performance of the fiber
HRDMD looks at the entire cross-section of the fiber and determines worse caseThe 10 VCSELs chosen may NOT be “representative” of what the customer will see in their system
CommScope now has its fiber qualified to BOTH DMD and EMBc, so there is no argument
CommScope developed HRDMD, the best measurement method, competition promotes an inferior methodHowever, just to remove all arguments, CommScope evaluates to BOTH proceduresIf a fiber fails either one, it is not used in CommScope cable

FUTURE-
PROOFING
SM ports consume line cards and chassis slots much faster than MM ports.
Drives a significant SM cost disadvantage in Data Centers.
Power dissipation will be much higher for SM given need for:
10G electrical to 25G optical lane rate conversionThermo-electric coolers to stabilize WDM wavelengthsEdge-emitter bias levels5-7x 850nm VCSEL levels
This is reflected in the heat-sink size of the SM device
Size Matters: 100G MM has value over SM Transceivers

SM channel is >7x the cost of 10G-SR 10xLAG ⇒ huge market acceptance barrierNote: 10G-SR channel costs would be ~1/3rd lower with SFP+ instead of X2 modules ⇒ ~11x factor
LAG can be deployed in >100m channels but necessitates the use of 10 ports per switch, and management of 10 separate channelsXR offers >11x lower cost w/o increased port consumption or management !!
Cost comparison does not account for module density impact on line card cost, which would amplify the illustrated XR cost factor and shrink the LAG cost factor
XR module can be physically the same size as SR10 100m module ⇒ no loss of density

Network Infrastructure is Connectivity and Switching
The Access Layer is where the servers access the network. Also called the Edge.
We advise using repeatable designs for placing the access switching devices. Create a standard, “cookie cutter”design that can be put in place anywhere in the Data Center.
The core layer routes traffic from the outside world to the Distribution layer and vice versa.
Ethernet is converted to ATM, SONET, DS1/DS3
Distribution: layer 3 routing ends and Layer 2 switching begins.
Firewalls, Load Balancing and Content Switching, and subnet monitoring take place, aggregating the VLANsbelow them.
In smaller Data Centers the Core and Distribution Layer are one and the same.

Value to Customer,Revenue
WOW!
How Do our Partners Win with Pre-terminated Solutions?
Add CapabilityMPO or APC connectorsMeet tough reflectance requirements
Take on Larger projectsEven out labor force – No need to ramp up and down due to work loadExamples: Pre-terminated cable on one end, splicing pigtails or EZ on the other
Terminate twice as many connectors in a given time period
Decrease non-value [i.e customer not paying for] time consuming tasks
Troubleshooting, cable prep, routing 900 um fibers in a box, installing cable grommets, etc
Smooth out the variationsEasier to estimate time and material costs
Some considerations:Do you have the proper test gear and enough of it? How old is your test gear?Do you have the proper patch cords and cleaning materialsWhen was the last time your installers went to a training class? What exactly were they trained on?Can your team terminate and test array solutionsWhat kind of shape are your toolkits? Are there parts missing or obsolete?Can you take on multiple/big projects with your current work force?

Fiber Testing: Cleaning is Job #1
Cleaning can literally solve ½of the issues seen during the system validation
Both BTW and patch cord connectors should be cleaned
Don’t forget the adapters
Connector cleaning:
1. Wipe endface with a 91% or better pure isopropyl alcohol-soaked lint-free wipe
2. Wipe again with a dry lint-free wipe

Fiber Optic Testing: Requirements for New Installation
Calculate Design losses as in the previous fiber sectionOLTS Loss testing is mandatory, OTDR is optional and only additionalRemember LED’s and Lasers may be a hazardTesting verifies installed cabling meets design and standards for link/channelSYSTIMAX SCS requires testing in one direction only at:
850nm 1300nm 1310nm 1550nmMMF Horizontal link X or XMMF Backbone & composite link X and XSMF Horizontal link X or XSMF Backbone & composite link X and X
Launch conditions of testing source: FOTP TIA-455 part 50BFOSTP: 526-14A for MMF and 526-7 loss for SMF
LED for MM, Laser for SMNO VCSEL
Fiber Optic Testing Requirements
OLTS testing requires a Mandrel to be used on the launch to reduce measurement error and variability (good for representation of LED or VCSEL) when testing MM systemsIts is mandatory that fusion splice tension testing is performed and confirmed during site registrationThe following should be recorded:
Test persons nameType of equipment and calibration certificateDate of testWavelength, spectral width, CPR (coupled power ratio – MMF only)Fiber ID and end point locationsTest directionMeasured attenuationAcceptable link attenuation (from design phase)
OLTS Testing Basics
• Optical Loss Test sets consist of power source and meter
• They are generally simple to operate and should provide an accurate loss measurement
• Wavelength can be selected• Battery health, re-calibration, warm-
up, powering off after zeroing and mechanical changes at the source will all impact accuracySingle-mode fiber should be tested with a LaserMMF should be tested with an LED, NOT a VCSELCheck those settings (standard, # of connector pairs, fiber type, etc)

OLTS Testing Basics: Mandrel Wrap is Required for MMF
• A mandrel causes the higher-order modes of light to refract out of the system
• Only required during the testing phase
• For use during both the reference and system test
• Creates more repeatable test results
OLTS Testing Basics: Mandrel Wrapping for MMF
• 5 Wraps on the Source jumper only
• LazrSPEED (any 50 um) – 25* mm OD mandrel
• OptiSPEED (any 62.5 um) – 20* mm OD mandrel

below (loop for Single Mode)• Zero or record result
• Jumper 2 and coupler should be equal or less than the losses below
• Flip jumper 2 end over end and ensure this also is the case
• Verify Jumper 1 by swapping with jumper 2 (remove mandrel in 1 and place in 2)

OLTS Testing Basics: Duplex Fiber Testing Setup
1-Jumper Reference
1. Disconnect from Meter Port
2. Add Test Jumpers at the Meter and validate mating
3. Test the system
Meter port adapters should be interchangeable for ease of referencing and testing
Testing an LC system with LC-SC duplex Jumpers:•LC port needed for referencing•SC port needed for testing
OTLS Testing: Testing MPO Systems
Good news: Today, it is easy.Most systems end in modules or fan-out to LC, SC, or ST Connectors
Test as if the system was made up of fiber pairs.The loss of the trunk will be accounted for within the system test
OLTS Testing: Troubleshooting InstaPATCH 360
1) Clean all connectors first. Retest2) Replace Module A with a known good test module. Retest
– If system now passes, Module A is the issue3) Replace Module B with known good test module. Retest
– If system passes now, Module B is the issue4) If the system loss is still too high, the trouble is with the MPO trunk

sheet
Remember:
1. Ensure it is the current sheet
2. Insert a 1 for every ‘mated pair’ of connectors
3. InstaPATCH requires a 1 for each mated LC or SC/ST side of the panel (front) and a 1 for the MPO side (rear)
4. Do not count the connectors attached to the equipmentMandatory for site
registration (VARs)
Note: The calculated loss will always be LESS then the sum of the individual component loss
