Multi Dwelling Units (MDU) FTTH/B Solutions
MDUs at first glance, would seem to be a much easier FTTH target than single family units (SFUs). One passed SFU to access merely one potential subscriber, while a single MDU building might contain hundreds of potential subscribers as illustrated in the following scenario drawings. Though high MDU subscriber densities shorten fiber cable distances, they also place constraints to the space available to install fiber distribution panels (FDP), fiber distribution hubs (FDH) and route optical fiber cabling. These tight spaces and cable pathways require compact solutions to meet building owner demands for inconspicuous installations. Installation equipment rooms and fiber pathways are often crowded with existing cabling which must usually be left in place to serve units not choosing to switch to fiber optic services.
To meet this MDU challenge, Connect Telecommunications Solutions has introduced a family of panels. There are 4 different solutions sets available; Aluminum MDU’s, Plastic MDU’s as well as compact & adaptable FDPs and FDH wall mount panels. These panels can be customized using industry standard adapters, Splice trays, LGX plates or LGX Cassettes, Splitters (1X4, 1x8, 1x16, 1x32 and 1x64) and fan-out MTP/MPO already pre-connectorized with different stub lengths. The FDP and FDH wall mount panels can make fiber cable routing and connectivity cost effective in any challenging MDU environment.
To advance the deployment of fiber to MDUs, Connect Telecommunications Solutions presents this guide and the associated solution sets which emphasize the following characteristics:
