Optical Cable Network Deployment for Multi-DwellingUnit

摘要

In this paper, we propose a new solution for the optical cable network deployment for a multi-dwelling unit (MDU) by using the Free-Branch Cable. This cable is applicable to the deployment on the floor and the outside wall surface of any scale of MDU and each fiber can be accessed at any point along the span of the cord bundle in order to respond to service order. To test this cabling system, we conducted a field trial at an existing building, and confirmed that the new solution is convenient and effective for the FTTH construction.
