Re-Architecting the
Fiber Connectivity Layer at
Next-Gen COs & DCs
Michael ZammitVP & GM, Connectivity Solutions
Mahendra PersadSolution Architect
Go!Foton will discuss solution insights toward the
transformation of the fiber connectivity layer in
existing COs in support of denser, faster, and more
predictable rollout strategies which are required to
support fiber rich applications such as 5G, IoT, CRAN
Hub densification, and next-gen PON architectures.

Eliminate Documented
Operational Challenges
Fat Finger FriendlyQuality & speed of work should notbe impacted by the technician’sfinger size; each fiber/connector
should be easily accessible withoutinterference to adjacent fibers and
not require special tools oraccessories.
Frame AgnosticEach chassis/panel should beeasily installable in any standardframe. Fiber routing & slack
storage should not require anyproprietary accessories for
proper operation of thechassis/frame.
Reduced Number of
Connections per customer
Avoid centralized vault cabinetmass splice, resulting in long patchcords. Route fiber cable directly
from OSP to equipment frame on acase by case basis.
Full Front Access
Improve MAC by installing 1 RUpatch panel per frame with MPOsupport. Technicians will only
touch patch panel instead of activeequipment. The frame can be
moved into different physicallocation.
Distributed Fiber
Management
Every patch connection within thefiber management chassis must beeasily accessible from front of the
frame.
Application
VersatilityExisting applications such asNGPON2 and future NGapplications such as IOT may
require integrated opticalcomponents within each tray in the
chassis. Mixing and Matching ofcassettes should be supported.
Future ProofSupport introduction of smaller NGconnectors without massive changeout of existing chassis & frames.

Case 1 : Core Router Upgrade
• The objective of the study was to find a solution that allowed an easy migration from current generation solutions
• Improve project lead times, reduce installation and maintenance costs
• Reduce congestion in the racks and cable management systems
Core Router Application
MPO/SC Cables
LC/SC Cables
SC/SC Cables
Fiber TerminationRouter ODN Frame
SC/SC Cables
Case 1: Business Challenge
• High failure rate of cables
• Purchase and stock costly spares
• Current cables lacked proper labels
• Fiber termination bay exhausted
• Deployment was complex and time consuming
• Not craft friendly
Case 1: Business Solution
• High Density Patch Panel (LC/LC)
• High Density Patch Panel (MPO/LC)
• Used MPO/MPO cables (3mm)
• Used LC/LC cables (1.2mm)
Replaced Legacy panel with High Density Patch Panel
Why use this panel?
• Ability to access front and rear connectors from front makes it easy to clean connectors

Case 1: Business Results
• MPO/MPO cables performed extremely well
- No failures either by initial testing or w/traffic
- GoFoton ships 50K cables per Mth - no returns
• No costly spare cables were needed
– huge savings realized, Spare cables = $2000/Proj
• Single 12F MPO = four duplex connectors
– simplified deployment.
• No label issues with MPOs
• Replaced one 4 RU patch panel (72 ports)with two HD panels (288 ports) with 2RUs to spare.
• Increased density by 8 to 1 (72:4RU)
• No stranded ports were lost
• No new Fiber Termination Frame required
The Challenge of Density
Resolved• PEACOC technology fans out the connectors to allow
individual access
• No tools necessary
• No risk of bumping adjacent connectors and causing an outage

Case 2: Business
Challenges
• Provide terminations for 1920 10GB interfaces or 3840 ports
• Manage and future proof rack space well
• Simplify processes to improve deployment time
• Labeling fibers are a concern with connectors tightly packed together
• Manage high volume of fibers in vertical troughs due to space constraints
Case 2: Business Solution
Selected two versions of High Density Patch Panel: LC/LC, MPO/LC
MPO/MPO cables – Less complex, easier install.
Use small form factor cables 1.2mm fibers
HD panel compatible with existing 19” or 24” racks and cable management solutions
Pay-as-you-grow” convenience and cost efficiency
Provides easy access to both the front and rear connectors at the same time
Fat finger proof - Individual optical connection can be easily isolated from adjacent ports
Legacy Panels High Density Panels
High Density vs Low Density
Case 2: Business Results
• High Density Panels utilized less than half of one frame vs
three fully loaded legacy frames
• MPO/MPO cables reduced bulk of cables in horizontal and
vertical troughs. (12 fibers in 3 mm vs 4 x 2mm cable)
• The 3840 ports for worst case scenario needs 66% of frame.
• Future rack space of 1920 terminations or 33%
• Use of MPOs reduces deployment time
• Designed new labels to work in densely packed spaces
• Velcro tie down cables allow easy access to cassettes/modules
• PEACOC panel design allow to manage slack

3rd Case Overview – Splitter Tap Panel
The aging low-density Splitter module was experiencing long lead times and causing delays in project completions.
Selected the splitter tap version of PEACOC HD panel used in previous two cases.
Case 3: Business Challenges
• Provide a new Splitter TAP Panel
• Source new panel to meet two-week SLA
- Current solution > 6 weeks
• Improve on storage space
- Current solution = 12 Ctks/4RU
12 Circuits in 4 RU
Case 3: Business Solution
• The GoFoton Splitter Tap Panel was selected to replace VAM/Tap panel
• Two week lead time
• Delivers eight times as many circuits per rack unit than the current solution
What is the solution?
