The Fiber Distribution Point aggregates many subscriber distribution optical fibers into a few optical fibers in the feeder that connects to the CO or Head End and consists of Cabinets, Pedestals, and Splitters.

For PON networks, product selection is highly dependent on which splitter architecture is used in FTTx deployment. Guidance on splitter architecture selection is provided below. OFS Solution Engineers are available to provide detailed guidance optimized for each customers’ unique needs. For active Ethernet networks, a powered Ethernet switch is used in place of splitters, feeder cables connect to the switch in a cabinet, and distribution cables connect the switch to downstream endpoints.

Splitter Architectures

A typical PON network consists of the Optical Line Terminal (OLT) in a central office, head-end or cabinet, connected by a feeder cable to optical splitters, and then to distribution cables downstream in the network.

Choosing the right architecture depends upon end-user density, projected subscription rates, and distance from the OLT. Splitter placement is important in FTTH design as it can significantly affect plant and electronic costs.

Three common types of splitter architectures used in FTTx deployments are:

• Centralized splitting
• Distributed splitting
• Distributed cascaded splitting

Centralized Splitting

Centralized architectures help to reduce total costs when relatively low take rates are expected. They can help defer capital costs by allowing for incremental OLT and splitter additions as subscriber counts increase

Centralized architectures co-locate a number of splitters in a central location, such as a cabinet for subscribers farther from the Central Office (CO), or in the CO for nearby subscribers.

Distributed Splitting

A distributed splitting architecture is cost-optimized when medium to high subscription rates are expected. This architecture also has the added benefit of eliminating the need to find space for placing cabinets. Splitters are “distributed” throughout the network and placed enclosures or pedestals in the field or in

buildings. At each splitter location, there will typically be one or (at most) two splitters.

This type of architecture typically uses lower fiber count cables and requires less splicing. It also results in lower plant costs but incurs higher electronics expenses.

Distributed Cascaded Splitting

Distributed cascaded splitting, also called a double star, is a form of distributed splitting with the splitters “cascaded” in the network. For example, a typical distributed split architecture may use a 1X32 splitter in a closure. However, the cascaded version may consist of a 1X8 splitter at one location feeding four 1X4 splitters downstream at different locations, to achieve a 1X32 split.

This architecture is most commonly used in rural areas with long distances from the OLT to the subscribers, and medium to low densities. It results in fiber savings by minimizing the fiber count of the cable needed to serve an area. Splice closures or pedestals are commonly used to house and protect the splitters in a distributed cascaded splitting architecture.

Providers typically use a combination of aerial and underground solutions to connect the last mile in a network to individual homes, buildings, or cell sites. A variety of factors including climate and existing infrastructure can influence solution selection.

OFS offers a complete portfolio of aerial and underground solutions including terminals, integrated splitters, and drop cables to connect to the demarcation point of individual homes, buildings, or cell sites. From that location, a number of solutions can be leveraged to take optical fiber into the home or building to provide 100 times faster Internet.

Fiber Optic Splice Closures

The Fiber Optic Splice Closure is a highly reliable outdoor rated enclosure that holds devices that join cables together. The closure may house and protect fusion splices, splitters, adapters, or connectors. It can be aerial or pole mounted and can also be directly buried. This closure accommodates factory terminated drop cables which can be plugged into splitters or distribution ports and also can support branching to lower count cables, drop cables, or joining like count cables. With    6 cable ports, optional accessories, and splitter trays, the closure supports up to a maximum of 96 splices.

Ruggedized PLC Splitters

OFS combines optical splitter and packaging expertise in a compact, ruggedized planar lightwave circuit (PLC) Splitter for FTTx applications. These splitters offer excellent optical performance in a flexible and easy-to-manage package allowing for rapid installation into cabinets, pedestals, or closure splice trays. The Ruggedized PLC Splitter may be snapped into existing splice trays and features unjacketed optical fibers to improve reliability vs. bare PLCs taped into trays with bare optical fibers. It allows reliable, cost-effective incremental growth, and simplifies fiber routing. It is most commonly used in distributed split configurations.

MPO Splitter Modules

The MPO Optical Splitter Module combines splitter and connectivity technology into a high density, plug-and-play solution. MPO Splitter Modules utilize MPO-to- single-fiber fanouts to decrease installation time and simplify cable management. MPO splitters and fanouts can be quickly swapped for easy future upgrades. MPO splitter modules are most commonly used in centralized split configurations either in the central office or in the ORBITAL™ cabinet.

The InvisiLight 80×80 Wall Module is provided with an SC APC external shuttered adapter. There are two ports of entry at the bottom of the module. The InvisiLight Fiber exits on the left-hand side and the patch cord is attached to the shuttered adapter on the right-hand side of the module.

InvisiLight EZ-Connect Module

The InvisiLight EZ-Connect Module is provided with an integrated jumper to connect to the ONT. This jumper is available in two versions: 2 mm or 3 mm Outside Diameter with 2.5 and 1.5 meter lengths respectively. The internal spool allows slack management of the tight buffer and jumper and may be locked in order to spool out by hand the desired length of jumper.

SlimBox Rosette

The SlimBox 4-Fiber Rosette Module is used as a splice or connection point for optical fiber indoors to an ONT or drop cable. It supports pre-connected cables, fusion splicing or a mechanical splice to a pigtail. The module can accept up to four cables in home or small business applications for multiple fiber connections.

SlimBox Customer Splice Point (CSP)

The SlimBox CSP module is used as an indoor or outdoor demarcation point. The module design resembles typical wall outlets seen in apartments or homes as it is small and inconspicuous. The module protects the fiber splice sleeves and connectors inside. When used with EZ-Bend cables or the EZ-Bend InvisiLight Solution, the module provides subscribers with a clean, professional-looking installation. A sealed cover is available for the outdoor version offering additional protection.

EZ-Bend Optical Fiber

EZ-Bend 4.8 Cables and EZ-Bend 3.0 Cables and cable assemblies described earlier can be used to install optical fiber to inside a premise.

Wireless networks are rapidly evolving with new standards for higher speeds. These faster speeds allow subscribers to use a wide array of mobile devices to stream media, participate in social networks and use cloud computing.
Network traffic from cell towers, Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) and WiFi require wireless backhaul over optical fiber for high bandwidth, reliability and flexibility.
The OFS FTTx Solutions described throughout this guide can be quickly installed to provide reliable fiber connectivity to small cells, macrocells, and DAS nodes.
