R&M Introduces Complete Solution For FTTH
Published Nov 16, 2011

Swiss cabling specialist R&M (www.rdm.com) is convinced that the only professional way to accommodate the demand for bandwidth and new services is to expand fiber optic networks. At the 37th European Conference for Optic Communication, the ECOC 2011 in Geneva, the company presented R&Mfoxs, a complete FTTH solution that achieves the above goal, for the very first time. R&Mfoxs is a fiber optic cross connection system from Reichle & De-Massari.
This modular program for passive network technology covers all levels of modern broadband infrastructures from data center and main distributor to the feeder, drop and access area and beyond to FO outlets. The program is based on SCM, the single circuit management system developed by R&M. It features easy-to-operate splice trays for managing the individual fibers and subscribers. The products and platforms of the R&Mfoxs range can be combined as required and they support all topologies and types of cables customarily found on the market.
According to FTTH Program Manager Martin Kellenberger: "Fiber to the Home projects are only worthwhile if the total cost of ownership can be calculated completely and the roll-out goes extremely quickly and without mistakes. At the same time, network operators need flexible, scalable systems with a high packing density that can be individually adapted to any market and site situation. R&Mfoxs is just the answer to these findings."
The R&Mfoxs range also features optical distribution frames (ODF's) for larger distribution sites, street cabinets and splitters, dome sleeves for subterranean distribution, outer housings for cabling and field-terminated connectors over the last mile. R&M also has solutions in its range for building entry points and for broadband cabling within buildings. It concentrates on a small number of easy-to-handle components that can be scaled as desired. This approach simplifies planning, assembly and maintenance as well as conversion and subscriber management. R&M says its customers are always able to maintain a good overview of investment costs.
As a rule, the platforms can be put together in a quick-assembly technique involving no special tools or also from individually pre-terminated modules.
That means a large number of distributors and house connections can now be set up as much as 30 percent faster than with conventional cabling systems. In addition, R&Mfoxs supports hybrid cabling. That means network operators can use copper and FO infrastructures concurrently and implement Fiber to the Home gradually as required.
The distributor and tray technology developed by R&M functions on all network levels with a bending radius of R40, a radius that is especially gentle on fibers. Even when extremely high packing densities are involved, the bending radius of optic fibers is limited to 40 millimeters. This is a crucial criterion for ensuring the transmission performance and reliability needed for future high-power and xWDM applications. The stress-free radius minimizes attenuation losses and simplifies handling during installation.
A label field with interchangeable labels, numbering and color coding makes even large numbers of fibers easier to manage. With the SCM portfolio, R&M supports all current FTTH market strategies such as point to point (P2P) or point to multipoint (P2MP) and open access.
