Optical LAN Solution Simplifying Enterprise Passive Optical Networks (PON) System Solution Guide EMEA
Optical LAN Solution As optical fiber moves closer to end users, rapid changes are underway in both the data center and the equipment closet. As a result, new installation and maintenance techniques are being employed within enterprise applications. Passive Optical Network (PON) applications are now being deployed. Fiber is no longer limited to just access equipment. Fiber connectivity to a single user is a reality.
Optical LAN Solution OLS By the Numbers TE's Optical LAN Solution (OLS) is the end-to-end fiber optic infrastructure used for indoor Passive Optical Networks (PONs), that takes a single strand of singlemode graded fiber from the Data Center all the way to the individual desk or end device location. This overview details some of the many features and benefits of Optical LAN Solution, highlighting the impressive numbers behind the OLS story.
Optical LAN Solution Power and Environmental Savings OLS vs. Traditional LAN Architectures • Once the equipment energy consumption is totaled, the following formula can be used to calculate cost savings for commercial power between traditional copper/fiber and OLS: –– Equipment wattage x 1.1 x 2/1000 = KW –– KW x 8760 hrs per year = KWH –– 0.
Optical LAN Solution Operational Savings OLS vs. Traditional LAN Architectures • Reduced Troubleshooting and Maintenance Costs –– Traditional copper/fiber networks require up to three sets of electronics vs.
Optical LAN Solution Cable Plant Savings Contrasting the Environmental Impact of CAT6 / CAT6A (horizontal), multimode fiber (vertical), and TE Optical LAN Solution (OLS) The environmental impact of choosing OLS over traditional structure cabling architectures can be significant. The following scenario compares the environmental impact and cable costs reduction of traditional CAT6 / CAT6A and multimode fiber versus OLS. The analysis is based on the same scenario found on page 4 using 700 users model.
