Fibre to the Office (FTTO)

This can be seen as a halfway house between Ethernet and POL. Featuring a blown fibre backbone architecture this solution will support migration to POL should a customer require a technology change.

fibre-to-the-office

The system presents RJ45 PoE at the wall but connects to the core network switch via fibre. These can be aggregated at closet level if required, or if density demands it, but typically eliminates the requirement for network cabinets on each floor. This solution also is not constrained by the 90 metre distance limitation of copper networking.

The FTTO equipment also features ruggedized units that are temperature insensitive and offer a unique and attractive solution to manufacturing customers where plant floors etc. pose a hostile environment to active equipment. FTTO Solution drives the sales of large density chassis fibre switches – HP, Dell or Juniper.

 

Passive Optical LAN

Cara in association with our market leading hardware partners implement the full range of POL solutions. POL essentially offers customers high speed networking with exceptionally low running costs. It offers savings in 3 distinct areas:

High Speed Connection

  • Containment

  • Power consumption

  • Deployment(typical application - over 250 users on a greenfield site).

As the product is fibre based it can be tailored to offer power users guaranteed bandwidth and does not suffer the same distance constraints of a copper deployment. Additionally typically only one network room per campus is required; two if diverse routes should be required.
