We can just imagine the smiles that this system will

put on the installers aces who, up until now, have

always had to take into account attenuation,

intererence, tap or switch gain fatness and so on

when distributing satellite signals to multiple outlets.

To sum up, we were totally impressed with how well

this new technology perormed in a real world setup.

Who wants to squeeze a full satelliteit e tiy be cabe?

IF YOU THINK bre optics is expensive andmind-bogglingly complicated technology you

are wrong. Sure, making laser light carry

virtually any type o media content saely

through a really thin glass cable is, well, rather

complex. But - -

- - in a ew minutes, when you have read this

short introductory older, you will know three

business benets about bre optics that are

still unknown to most people:

Why it will save you hours and hours o

work during every installation.

Why it will save you so much money.

And why it will allow you to take on

installations ar bigger than anything

you ever thought possible.

Imagine you are holding a long extensioncord in your hands, or instance a coax cable

used somewhere in your latest multi dwelling

installation. Now imagine that same extension

cord was 5, 15 or 200 times longer but

without cable loss. Science ction, you say?

No, its science act.

Yes, it does sound impossible at rst at least

when you consider everything you know rom

the realm o traditional coax cable installations.

But with bre optics you have to rethinksatellite and cable TV installations completely.

Can you do that? Well, lets nd out.

Try this. Think o the highest possible number

o outlets you can supply when installing a

traditional LNB and multiswitch solution in a

huge building with a large number o

apartments. OK, got that? Now multiply it

by 8, 16 or 32. Oh and while you are at it,

cut the installation time needed by 20 to 40

percent In short: This is what your uturebre installations look like.

Truth is, there is virtually no

signal loss in optical bres, so you can cover

BIG distances even several kilometres in

just one installation. But thats not all, just -

IF YOU FIND IT HARD TO say goodbye to

accepted technical acts you have known or

years, please pay attention to the ollowing

checklist beore you go any urther.

Attention: The minute you choose bre optics

or your cable or satellite installations, you willno longer experience

cable loss even when you distribute

signals to thousands o users

signals that are vulnerable to

electromagnetic intererence,

power surges and lightning

endless time and rustration

spent calculating and projecting

your installations

I you cando without those

things in your lie, Triax now

oers two dierent types o

bre optic solutions:

Triax HFC or cable TV

and TOL 32 Optical LNB

or satellite TV.

Test yourself: Are you toosetieta f Tiax beptics?

Here is what they

have in common:

inside a thin bre cable, laser

light carries the TV signals

rom a transmitter to a receiver

since the signal is made olight it is almost immune to

attenuation and intererence

even i you are orced to run a

bre cable close to heavy or

magnetic machinery it still

distributes the signal perectly

So far so good- bt....

- bre optic installations still belong tothe big unknown to most installers and

distributors and perhaps to you too?

Well, lets discuss two o the concerns you

might have.

So, I guess a Triaxbre optic solution isexpensive?

No! Sure, the technology within is advanced.But one o the biggest advantages o bre

optics is achieved when a large and perhaps

geographically scattered group o people

share a TV distribution network. The price per

user is relatively, and surprisingly, small.

But surely, the tools forhandling bre on-site will

ruin my business?O course not. But it sounds like you heard

those scary rumours about the need or a really

expensive usion splicer when working with

bre? Dont worry. Forget the splicer, simply

use pre-congured Triax connector cables at

lengths rom 5, 10, 15 and all the way up to

100, 200 or 500 metres all ully equipped with

bre-connectors at both ends.

Or, to get the exact cable length you want,

use an inexpensive, easy-to-use bre cleaveron-site. Once you have cut the bre, simply x

ast-t connectors to the cable ends. Seriously,

its that simple.

Triax TOL 32 Optical LNB transmitter.

First o its kind, with our polarities in one

bre cable. One laser only. A customised

satellite solution. Fully passive cabling/

distribution in the bre optic domain. I

you want to add CATV to your installation

simply run one more bre and use it with

the HFC (see below).

Need more positions? - Simply use onemore TOL 32 and cabling or each.

Triax TOS Optical Splitters.

Choose between 2, 4 and 8 way opticalsplitters and split your signal into as manyas 32 ways in a single MDU installation.They ft both HFC and Optical LNB ranges.

All splitters are dual-windows technology(1310 and 1550 nm) which allows you ullupward compatibility when used in HFC

networks. By the way, i what you reallywant is an LNB unit that can handle anoverwhelming 128 optical splits, just let usknow. We can help you with that too.

Lets take a closer look..

A k at the ew be pdcts this is what we ae takig abt

Triax Virtual Optical Converters.SAT-IF receiver nodes or TWIN, QUAD

and QUATTRO signals. Receives optical

signal rom LNB via the passive optical

network and then turns the signal into

a coax output through two or our (TWIN

or QUAD) universal lines, each linked to

a set top box. The QUATTRO version

presents the our individual polarities on

separate coax outputs and are perectly

capable o driving a regular multiswitch

system. Generally, these converters acceptand bridge an optical link budget rom

the optical LNB transmitter (see above)

equivalent o splitting into 32 ways and

still they can cover distances o more

kilometres.

Triax HFCHybrid Fibre Coax OpticalTransmitter (OTXS-xx series).

Converts electrical CATV signals into

intensity modulated optical signals or

transmission via optical bre cables.

Signal distribution over distances rom

200 metres to 10-15 kilometres. Splits into

several directions i needed. Fibre optic

cable is terminated at bre optic receiver

nodes (ORB 9X1) rom where traditional

coax based MATV/CATV can be realised.

Remote controllable via the internet.

Triax Fibre Optical connectors

Steel armored 3.0 mm bre optic cable

(G657A, LSZH) pre-connected or easy

installation. On-site-connectors or usewith unterminated cables (No need or

usion-splicing). Barrel connectors allow

components to be used with all products.

Triax HFCHybrid Fibre Coax Optical Receiver(ORB 9X1 series).

Fibre optic receiver node. For CATV installations.

Return path possible via separate laser. Use HFC as

in a regular coax installation but with the benet o

using bre as an extension cord. Perect, i you need

islands o CATV installations without having to worry

about the distance rom the headend and bre optictransmitter.

Why be ptics wi..- save you so much time and money

Independent calculations indicate that youcould reduce the time traditionally spent

installing coax cable connections by up to 30,

35 or 40 percent. And already at 20 percent

reduced installation time your new bre optic

installation can have paid or itsel. Go ahead,

read that last bit again.

Once you start working with bre you will

probably develop your own new ways to speed

up your installation routines besides those

ew listed here. This is just to give you an idea:

Save time I

Your time spent surveying, projecting and

calculating a ull installation is practically

zero as there is no cable loss to work out

or worry about

Save time II. You can now install a

converter at the receiving end inside the

individual apartments. It is both easier and

aster

Save time III. Dont spend any time earthing

your installation. Bond bars and earthing arenot needed as the bre systems provide

100 percent galvanic isolation

Save time IV. Splitting can be done

anywhere and does not have to be done

in the middle o the building to be most

eective signal-wise. Just split the signal

when and where you want

...e ideas Save money I.

Since installation time drops dramatically

so does salary expenses

Save money II.

Since installation time drops dramatically

you can book more customers

Save money III.

As you know, line ampliers are oten

necessary in traditional MDU installations

consuming power 24/7/365.Fibre installations dont need line ampliers

so you save both product and power

expenses. In your next installation, why not

try to calculate how much is saved in the

rst year alone

Save money IV.

Fibre signals are distributed

through a passive optical

network (PON) so no

extra power is used to

carry the signal all theway rom the optical LNB

to the virtual receivers,

no matter how ar apart.

Good news or both

wallet and environment.

How to turn ne bre features- into brilliant business benets

Fibre optics, in the satellite and cable TV feld,is not standard procedure and has a lot oexplaining to do. We all probably know coaxcable installations like the back o our hand.Not so (yet) with fbre optics. So, wheneversomeone tells you o all the wonderul eaturesassociated with fbre optics, it is only natural tothink, Whats in it or me?

Thats why we have included the ollowing list translating product eatures to installer benefts:

Feature: No cable loss or, i you want toget nitty-gritty about it: 0.3 dBm per kilometrecompared to coax: 18-32 dB per 100 metres.

4 Beneft I: With fbre optics you can goanywhere.

4 Beneft II: You can build unbelievably largeinstallations up to 32 x 128 outputs peroptical LNB. Build solutions today that wereunthinkable only yesterday

Feature: Pre-confgured connector cables.

4 Beneft: Save time on-site. Freely composeyour installation using only cables andsplitters in a passive optical network.You have virtually no cable restrictions, andno need or expensive splicing tools

Feature: ... optical cables are immune to anykind o intererence.

4 Beneft: Run your cables wherever you want with no intererence and loss o signal

Feature:

Signals are distributed through apassive optical network (PON).

4 Beneft: No extra power used to carry signalrom the optical LNB to the virtual receivers

Feature: Triax TOL 32 Optical LNB transmittergives you a ull satellite in a single fbre cable all our polarities are sent throughsimultaneously.

4 Beneft: With coax you would need threeadditional cables one or each polarity.

And cabling is a lot easier trunks o ourairly thick coax cables are down to onefbre cable .

Feature: TOL 32 Optical LNB only needs onelaser to transmit all our polarities.

4 Beneft: You save three extra and expensive lasers. Traditional fbre optical solutionsrequire one laser per polarity, so here is yetanother substantial cost saving withoutcompromising the quality o the satellitesignals

A general introduction- ets s p..

When you switch to bre you get these newbusiness options:

You can reach A LOT more users and cover

larger distances, even kilometres, without

jeopardising the signal.

Flexibility doesnt begin to describe it.

On top o this, your installations will be uture

riendly and internet/broadband ready you

get ull scalability, so you can extend the

installation at a later time.

With coax that is usually impossible.

What else? Well, bre optics will allow you to

gain a larger market share in the eld o

satellite IF-distribution leaving old-ashioned

multiswitch competitors behind at the

Museum o Coax Installations

Distribution switches, as used in most MDU

networks today are no longer required with this

system, re.: TELE-satellite & Broadband 2008.

Fibre installation on-site..

For most installations our bre-optics cables

with pre-tted connectors are the easiest and

astest solution.

I you dont nd the correct length, simply add

two or more cables together using the small

barrel connector.

For tight spaces and odd lengths use our 500 mbre optics cable roll and t it with ast-t

connectors in the eld using inexpensive breoptics cutting, stripping and cleaning tools.

No need or expensive usion-splicer

equipment. But i you have one already you are

o course ree to use it.

Agreed: this is dierent rom coax cabling and

you probably will spend some more time on

your rst installation. But once you get used to

working with bre cables, you will nd it hard to

go back.

- now the rest is up to you

Triax distributor/dealer now.
