The FTTH GPON Aerial Solution with Asymmetric Splitter Plug & Play 1:9 allows very easy and fast construction of GPON aerial networks with no requirements for experienced fiber optic network technicians. There are three types of boxes completely ready to be used in networks, see the diagrams below. The boxes only need to be installed on poles, or installed with slack cable storages, which are used to store pre-terminated cable reserves.

From the Central Office, a cable comes to the distribution box fitted with up to two 1:2 splitters or one 1:4 splitter depending on the loss plan and the GPON network type. Each output adapter facilitates the connection of up to 32 customers by connecting a separate branch of four boxes in series. The 1:9 transition boxes are connected one behind the other, each having eight adapters for customers. The asymmetric splitter distributes power to other boxes in such a ration that up to three transition boxes and one ending box can be connected in series. The 1:8 ending box is the last box in the row terminating the particular branch also allowing the connection of eight customers. The cables used for connecting the boxes in series as well as customers are pre-terminated ADSS cables with a diameter of 5 mm and SC/APC connectors. The connection is made inside the box. First the grommet is cut, then the cable is fixed inside and the flexible cable termination is plugged into the prepared adapter.

This solution from ARTIC FIBER company uses the suspension system with a very simple and fast installation. The suspension is hooked into the bracket or cross-arm and wrapped around the cable. It brings the possibility of using one continuous suspension instead of two dead-ends in cases where the pole only needs to be passed. Wrapping the suspension around the cable ensures even pressure on the cable around the entire circumference, the cable is not subjected to point stress and does not suffer from changes in climate conditions. The FTTH distribution network construction is carried out by fixing the prepared boxes and connecting them with a single-fiber pre-terminated cable, which is pushed through a grommet and plugged into the prepared adapter. The brackets are installed on the poles along the route and the cables are hung using the dead ends or continuous suspensions. Customer connections are then made by installing a pre-terminated cable on the poles and connecting it to the distribution box nearest to the customer. It is pushed through a grommet and plugged into the prepared adapter. On the customer’s side, a bracket is installed on the facade of the house, a hole is drilled into the house and the cable is connected to a fiber optic outlet or directly to the ONT.
