Blown fibre solutions, from John Guest UK based push-in fittings, pipe and plastic plumbing

Skylane Optics showcase FTTx & FITx network solutions portfolio FTTH and FTTB last mile connectivity specialists, Skylane Optics, will showcase their network

manufacturer, John Guest, will showcase a range of blown fibre fittings. The products, which have been specially designed for the telecommunications market, are designed for use in local loop, network and customer box applications. The extensive range of push-fit connectors covers both blown fibre and

solutions portfolio at this year’s event. The product range, characterised by high quality and performance, combined with strong technical support, enable users to build cost-optimised network solutions, solving existing and future capacity needs. Plastic Optical Fibre (PoF) has been used for more than twenty years in the automotive industry but, due to speed and length limitations, higher TCO, non-representative ROI and some missing features, it has, so far, not been adopted as a structural cabling option for FTTB. This is due to change and Skylane, well-known for their data transport solutions, have announced the World’s first modular Plastic Optical Fibre Enterprise Smart patch panel. A “lighter, faster, safer, cheaper and greener” solution, which also introduces the merger of PoF and PoE. This brings major advantages as there is no need to replace or modify any existing DATA infrastructure and no learning curve of new exotic active network components. The company’s engineers work closely with customers, on both Active Ethernet Networks and Passive Optical Networks, to find the best solutions for every application. This strong technical support allows users to build cost-optimised solutions to solve existing and future capacity needs. Stand S01

cable pressurisation systems and includes gas and water block fittings. The simple to use connectors help ensure that installations can be completed quickly and reliably. Fibres/Cables can be blown through most connectors in either direction. To make a connection the tube should be simply pushed into the fitting, while the unique John Guest locking system then seals and connects the microduct tube providing a seamless path for unhindered fibre bundle or cable passage. For additional security, i.e. direct buried applications, the ‘Speedfit Secure’ range incorporates an integral collet-locking feature. Stand B21 Micos unveil a new solution for telecommunication chambers in Fttx networks The Micos underground chamber offers a comprehensive fibre through the dividing bottom into the upper part, where reserves are stored in prepared fittings. Instead of a standard dome closure, the fibres are connected in a simpler box mounted on a stand. After finishing the assembly, the box with cable reserves is placed in the chamber, installed in a pre-selected location and covered by a “bell” that creates an air pocket. The air pocket ensures that ground water cannot reach the box, preventing its flooding. Therefore, the box itself does not need IP 68 ingress protection, which in practice depends on the quality of the technician’s work, often resulting in flooded enclosures. The bell also provides additional protection against mechanical damage. And the solution includes a locking collar that fixes the bell and increases protection against unauthorised entry.

Fibre without fibre – Teleste launch unique solution Teleste have announced a range of products and solutions to be showcased at this year’s event.

BrightCore® cables from Novobit Novobit has developed a new fibre optic cable with central strength element for FTTH and data centre applications. The BrightCore® cable design enables the construction of a new product family for different FTTH applications: indoor, indoor/outdoor, and outdoor drop applications. These cables achieve excellent mechanical and thermal performance and are small in size, soft, flexible and easy to strip. The cables also have a low friction rate and are easy to install, for both push & pull. The data centre version of the BrightCore® cable, with 1.4 mm diameter, is perfectly suited for high-density applications. Stand S06

The company’s distributed access solutions allow FTTH operators to provide FTTH services over the existing last mile of coaxial cabling. This technology allows operators to offer near gigabit speeds without the need to install fibre cabling in the property. By utilising the existing installed coaxial cabling in a property you can eliminate the usual fibre home installation problems. In fact it is possible for customers to install this technology themselves easily and hassle free. Stand B42.
