The benefits of using fiber optics are numerous.

Possibilities of Fibre

Unlike copper wire pairs that transmit electrical signals vulnerable to electromagnetic interference, fibre transmits light. With a diameter as small as a human hair, much thinner than copper, it helps eliminate cable bundles that create excessive heat and disrupt server performance.
  • Very low latency
  • Ultra-high speeds
  • Immune to interference
  • Extremely low attenuation
  • No distance limitation
  • Secure signals

Limits of copper

The copper pair that once connected us to the internet is reaching its technical limits and becoming problematic. Originally designed for telephone service, copper cables now carry far too much information. As a result, the signal is highly sensitive to installation flaws, leading to interference and connection losses.
  • Growing number of connected devices
  • Increasingly demanding content and downloads
  • DSL bandwidth increasingly limiting
  • New connected devices entering the market
  • New uses such as remote work and networking

Average internet usage increases by 50% each year.

Passive Optical LAN (POL)

Managing a Passive Optical LAN (POL) is simpler and provides advanced features that can be controlled through centralized management across an entire campus, building, or site.

A Passive Optical LAN (POL) replaces traditional copper cabling with single-mode fiber.

With virtually unlimited capacity, fiber optics allow your network to evolve without the need to constantly upgrade cabling to meet growing bandwidth demands.

A single fiber can be shared by multiple users. The final connection remains identical: each household or workstation has its own fiber. Between the user and the connection node, splitters in the network make it possible to share the information traveling through one fiber among 64 or even 128 users. They all receive the same light signal. Data is therefore encrypted upstream and then “separated” by the customer’s endpoint equipment (the ONT).

A proven solution for supporting multiple voice, video, and data services.

A Passive Optical LAN allows you to replace active intermediate distribution frames (IDFs) with passive components, thereby reducing floor space, energy use, cooling requirements, and installation costs.
