built-in case Outlet can move

Slide 6Slide 6

Overcome the « brush effect », on the optical patchord connected to the outlet

Use of an outlet, 90°oriented, with plugs leaving horizontally

Bad bending of the cable will have an negative impact of the optical budget and fiber lifetime.

Control the cable radius even inside the built-in case

In a living place, furniture and outlets are moving.

Control this operation with products able to extend or renew lines

� Overcome OPEX drivers coming from Connection, reconnections, network sharing

� At least 1 connector

�Several operators � Several connectors � Many connections

Slide 7Slide 7

�Several operators � Several connectors � Many connections

� External shutter = risks of dust pollution � Maintenance

� Inner automatic shutter removes risks

� Overcome OPEX drivers coming frommass & progressive deployment

� Skilled technician is a key element, often the case, but…

�Approximate installation leads to failure risks during the lifetime

� “Turn-key” outlet

� Overcome OPEX drivers coming fromtechnical constraints, Sharing & progressive deploy ments

� Different building architectures may require different products

� Diversity and easy (cheap) maintenance are not compatible

� Use of products able to cover (almost) any situation

� Extraction as smart way (also) to maintain� In case of fiber break, with no length left

� it is always possible to re-extract

� so that any link can be re-created

� Overcome OPEX drivers coming fromSharing & progressive deployments

� Demarcation point between Subscribers & Operators

� Source of troubles (high OPEX)

� Fiber handling, connection, de/re-connection

Slide 11Slide 11

� Fiber handling, connection, de/re-connection

� Use of products really able manage the real life

Conclusion

� Benefits of extraction techniques in MDU� Capex reduction (up to 30%)

� Deployment on Demand

� Accelerates deployment

Slide 12Slide 12

� New generation of products brings also OPEX savings� Smart fiber management ���� Prevent mid-term “noodle effect”

� Installation aids ���� Prevent human error + mid-term failure

� Standardisation ���� Prevent complexity in future operations

� Automatic dust protection ���� Prevent plug handling failure

� Integrated repair function ���� Does not prevent, but essential, in case
