Overview of Access Network
PTCL Training & Development
Definition (AN)It is access of customer to the telecommunication services or vice versa. Traditionally it was called OSP (Outside Plant) or LN (Local Network) or Local Loop. Access Network is a network that connects a user to the telecommunication services.

Access Network StatusDuring the current period of transition, global telecom carriers need to: 1. Enhance service competitiveness and provide more services. 2. Increase ARPU (Average Revenue Per User) value and reduce the maintenance cost by binding multiple services. 3. Improve customers satisfaction on the network and reduce the customer churn rate. To make a success in the transition, increasing the bandwidth is the prerequisite.13PTCL Training & Development

Propagation Principles in Optical Fiber35PTCL Training & Development
Fiber Optic Principles Optical fiber is basically a glass waveguide. Different wavelengths of light are directed through the fiber core by refraction & reflection. Different wavelengths relate to different colors.

Light Propagation in Optical Fiber Propagation of light in an optical fiber requires that the light be totally confined within the fiber. The above object can be obtained in two different ways Total Internal Reflection
Continuous Refraction
38
PTCL Training & Development
Total Internal Reflection Most widely used method for the propagation of light through optical fiber is the total internal reflection. The amount and direction of deflection is determined by the amount of difference in refractive indices as well as the angle at which the rays strike the boundary.

For incidence angles equal to or greater than the critical angle, the glass air boundary will act as a mirror and no light escape from the glass. Example:n2 (Glass) Sin c 1 = n (Air) = 1.5 Sin 90 1 Sin c = 0.6667 c = 41.8

TYPES OF FIBRES1. SINGLE-MODE SINGLE-MODE In single-mode fibre only one ray, or mode, of light propagates down the core at a time. It is used primarily for telephony and cable television applications, and is used increasingly for campus backbones.81PTCL Training & Development
2.
MULTI-MODE
MULTI-MODE
Multi-mode fibre was the first type of fibre to be commercialized and is commonly used for data communications. In multi-mode fibre many rays, or modes, of light propagate down the core simultaneously. Multi-mode fibre typically is used in private premises networks, where signals are transmitted less than two kilometers.82PTCL Training & Development
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCESINGLE-MODE1. Diameter of core is less 2. Only one mode is propagated 3. Used for Short Haul & Long Haul Transmission
MULTI-MODE1. 2. 3. Diameter of core is more More than one mode are propagated Used for Short Haul transmission

Single and Dual Fiber Systems Single Fiber Downstream broadcast* on 1550 nm Upstream data on 1310 nm Downstream data on either 1310 or 1490 nm* depending on system Advantages Less fiber deployed Fewer optical passives (taps or splitters) Fewer labor-intensive connections
* Downstream data can be carried at 1550 nm if not used for broadcast
105
PTCL Training & Development
Single and Dual Fiber Systems Dual Fiber Various plans, usually one fiber will be used for downstream and one for upstream, or one will be used for broadcast and one for data. Sometimes one will be used for specialized services, such as returning RF-modulated data from set top terminals Advantages Simplifies terminal passive components Somewhat lower signal loss

SAFETY MEASURES REGARDING OPTICAL FIBRE CABLE HANDLING
107
PTCL Training & Development
Optical Fiber and LASER Light SafetySafety issues relevant to operation and maintenance staff involved in optical fiber systems fall into one of three categories: - Laser light Sources - Handling of bare optical fiber ends - Hazardous Chemicals
108
PTCL Training & Development
LASER LIGHT SOURCESThis includes both optical line transmission equipment and Optical test equipment. A laser can cause damage to human tissue either on the surface of the skin or in and around the eyes. - The Eyes - Laser Safety Requirements - Laser safety Procedures - Some General Rules on Laser Safety
109
PTCL Training & Development
The EyesThe eyes, being a very sensitive part of the human body, can Be very susceptible to the hazards of laser light.
Laser Safety RequirementsOnly staff who have attended an optical fiber training course And had their eyes tested may install, test and optical fiber cables.
Laser Safety Procedure-Ensure that the power is turned off at both ends of the section while the optical fiber cable is being worked on. -Under no circumstances should an optical fiber or connector

Under no circumstance Must a light signal from an OTDR) be transmitted through a fiber Until jointing staff have completed splicing operations on the fiber And have notified the testing Officer that it is safe to do so.
115
PTCL Training & Development
Some General Rules on Laser Safety
Never look into the beam of a transmitting laser, either via the output port of equipment or the end of a connected fiber Initially assume that all fiber and equipment is active in transmitting light. Optical connectors should always be held at least 300mm from the eye, etc.116PTCL Training & Development
HANDLING OF THE BARE FIBERS Bare fibers should be treated with more care than handling a piece of broken glass in the home If optical fiber glass accidentally penetrates the skin, it probably remain there and eventually infect the area around it However in extreme cases it could potentially end up in the blood stream, which would be extremely dangerous.117PTCL Training & Development
HANDLING OF THE BARE FIBERS Always dispose of broken fibers or fiber. Off cuts in receptacle designated for this purpose i.e. fiber bin. Do not throw bare fiber in a waste disposal bin or on the floor. Always wash hands thoroughly after handling optical fiber, especially when eating food. Never touch the end of a bare fiber

What is Optical Access Network?From the architecture diagram, the optical access network comprises the following scenarios:
1. FTTB scenarioSBU : Single business unit ; providing a comparatively small number of ports such as POTS, 10/100/1000BASE-T and DS1/T1/E1 ports MTU :Business Multi-tenant unit ; providing a comparatively larger number of ports, including POTS, 10/100/1000BASE-T and DS1/T1/E1 ports.
FTTb ~ Fiber to the Building , is the deployment of fiber (optical) cable to a specific location within a building, then connected to the buildings existing copper, cable facilities. This deployment is also referred to as FTTB (Fiber to the Basement) & FTTB (Fiber to the Business). This deployment will be the typical for MDUs & MTUs also known as ** FTT mdu ~ Fiber to the MDU **
121
PTCL Training & Development
2. FTTC & FTTCab scenario. FTTC & FTTCab scenario MDU : Multi-dwelling unit ;providing a comparatively larger number of ports, including 10/100/1000BASE-T, VDSL2, and so on.
FTTc ~ Fiber to the Curb , is the deployment of fiber close to the customer but not fully to the customers residence. In this deployment the existing copper plant is still used to deliver service to the actual customer. FTTN (Fiber to the Neighborhood) & FTTC (Fiber to the Cabinet) generally fall under the FTTC category. Both services are in deployment and in use, a perfect example is a DLC/NGDLC (Digital Loop Carrier) which some of us get our phone service from. A direct fiber from the CO (Central Office) is terminated at the DLC/NGDLC and then service is delivered to the customers residence via the copper plant.
122
PTCL Training & Development
3. FTTH scenario FTTH scenario SFU : Single family unit , providing a comparatively small number of ports, including following types: POTS, 10/100/1000BASE-T, and RF. FTTh ~ Fiber to the Home , is the complete deployment of fiber to the customers home, with replacement of there existing NID (Network Interface Device). This replacement device is called an ONT (Optical Network Terminator).
