Add ports, bandwidth and power as you need
Fibre offers high bandwidth reserves, ready for more ports requiring increased bandwidth and power. Upcoming Wireless LAN standards will require a move to higher speeds, combined with higher power levels. With traditional cabling, larger cable bundles lead to a marked increase in heat, which affects performance and lifetime. With FTTO, however, this is not a problem.
Adding ports is easy. Availability of a single fibre bundle with up to 144 connections ensures you will be prepared for future growth. Short link lengths of three to five metres between switch and end devices, and the absence of cable bundles, make all the difference. Depending on topology, you can simply add more zone distribution boxes or extract cabling to expand the network. There’s only one type of switch to manage, and no other active equipment. Just install and connect the switch and auto-configure or replace the memory card. This means Moves, Adds and Changes can be carried out with minimal training. Furthermore, downtime is avoided, as there is no need to shut down the network whilst adding capacity.
Sustainable growth
FTTO helps reduce energy consumption and therefore, in parallel, decrease CO2 emissions during the use phase, allowing for a lower carbon footprint.
In a traditional network, all active network equipment must be powered and cooled in distribution rooms housing active floor switches. With FTTO, there’s no need for this. The benefits of RJ45 copper cords and fibre cabling are combined for maximum performance with reduced energy consumption. Data is transported over longer distances via fibre optic with lower signal losses. This significantly reduces energy consumption.
FTTO switches consume very little power and support PoE/PoE+, which allows electrical power to be sent along with data over Ethernet cabling. This solution also enables Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), according to the IEEE 802.3az standard. EEE is based on the idea that a communication link should only consume power when data is being sent or received. Tests show power savings of 45–80% may be expected.
Nexans EcoMode optimises data transfer rates for specific user needs and preferences. These rates can be manually or automatically reduced (1,000 Mbps -100 Mbps), resulting in extra energy savings. FTTO networks are typically 30% more energy efficient than traditional networks and can, in specific cases, reduce power consumption of IT infrastructures by up to 70%. The more users on the network, and the more applications running, the greater the benefits brought by FTTO.
