Cable Cost Saving per User:

TRADITIONAL COPPER & FIBRE

CAT6 Unshielded (UTP) horizontal cable run of 55 metre = 23.10€

x 2 (ports) = 46.20€

Multimode Fibre OM4 vertical backbone (shared uplink access to aggregation) = 1.93€

Total cost = 48.13€

OPTICAL LAN SOLUTION (OLS)

Single Mode OS2 Bend Insensitive cable run of 70 meter = 24.50€

(each ﬁber run supports a 4 port ONT - 2 users) / 2 = 12.25€

Total cost = 12.25€

TOTAL CABLE COST SAVINGS PER USER = 35.88€

TOTAL CABLE COST SAVINGS FOR 700 USERS = 25,116€
