Passive optical LANs (POLANs) are adapted to indoor network architectures, and can decrease the amount of cable and equipment required to deploy a network. POLANs are ideal if several networks need to converge, a discrete network is required or centralized management is desired – or if there is little room for cabling.
SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE
Efficient upgrade path over multiple network generations leads to lower total cost of ownership
Hedging architecture with the passive optical network (PON) riding alongside an Ethernet network in the same patch panel helps you convert from Ethernet to PON as markets and technology evolve
Technology uses singlemode fiber, which futureproofs cabling infrastructure
Rack-mount patch panels and cassette-style splitters allow for seamless integration of PON alongside your Ethernet network
FAST AND EASY INSTALLATION
Proven, familiar and industry-standard structured cabling practices for passive optical LAN deployment lead to minimized need for rework and labor savings
Disaggregate active and passive connections from the head split utilizing a patch panel with patch cords. Create a cross connect between upstream and downstream routings
REDUCE RISK
Minimize risk of damage to expensive passive components to improve cost savings
Cassette-style splitters and co-existence modules allow the use of patch cords instead of permanent harnesses; when a patch cord is damaged, it is replaced quickly and inexpensively as opposed to replacing an entire module
Standard port and patch con configuration reduces risk related to damaging one cable and impacting multiple downstream drop locations
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
Rapid deployment with off-the-shelf components allows for immediate deployment capability
Multiple mounting scenarios for simpli ed BOM creation
Use hedging architecture with PON riding alongside an Ethernet network in the same patch panel. Convert from Ethernet to PON as markets and technology evolve
Belden’s modular approach to product design enables simple upgrades in the field to rapidly support technology evolution
