Introduction

• Extraction is now recognized as being a key technology in FTTH save CAPEX Connect on demandAccelerate deployment

• So much that extraction is spread to various applications MDU, but also OSP Short / long extraction

• Complementary techniques to accelerate even more deployments Concept of the single splice Concept of floor routing with a single connection at the subscriber’s home Blown techniques

NeededFlexibility points

Flexibility at :

• Building basementNetwork interfaceConcentration pointCan have connectors

• Households / FlatsSubscriber interfaceConnector

• FloorSplice more suitable

(concentration point is at the basement)

Slide 6Slide 6

Smart components& Single splice concept

Slide 7Slide 7

Acceleration thanks tothe concept of the single splice

Preconnectorised cable installed in the opposite directions1. Preconnectorised

extraction cable (fan-out) deployed from the basement and installed in the basement box

2. Preconnectorised drop cable installed from the flat(reduced time where it is difficult to get appointment)

3. A single splice at the floor

Slide 8Slide 8

Smart products & packagingscontributes as well

Smart packaging :

Packaging that includes the terminal outlet & adapter+ preconnectorised drop cable + test report

The packaging is also an unrolling system(biodegradable after installation)

Slide 9Slide 9

Smart subscriber Tetr@XS outlet :

The cable is pre-installed and fixed in the outlet (reduced risk)

But still the cable orientation is choosen on the field (without removing cable clamping)

The outlet is fixed without the need to open it (reduced installation time)

Slide 12Slide 12

• Preconnectorised riser cablewith reinforced extractable structures

• Long extraction at the floor(no splice at the floor) down to the flat

• Field installable connector or splice in the terminal outlet

Conclusion

Benefits of extraction techniques Capex reduction of > 30%

Deployment on Demand

Accelerates deployment

Benefits of smart preconectorised products & packaging Improve the deployment acceleration

Very short interventions in the subscriber premises

Basic installation (no heavy skills)

Highly reliable (since done and tested in factory)

Allows single connection point
