ADC’s OmniReach Rapid Fiber System is designed to
eliminate the unique challenges posed by today’s Multiple
Dwelling Unit (MDU) buildings, when deploying FTTX networks.
MDUs present service providers with diverse challenges
such as varying cable pathways and distances between logical
distribution points, demanding installation schedules and increased
quality risks due to splicing. This system is designed
specifically to assist service providers when deploying MDU
optical fiber distribution networks for a variety of architectures
– and do so in less time and with less total cost on a consistent,
high-quality basis for every building. ADC’s Rapid Fiber system
is the ultimate plug-and-play solution for delivering fast,
durable and reliable service for mid- and high-rise MDUs and
is available in multiple configurations to meet the unique requirements
of each building.
The system encompasses the following products:
Rapid Indoor Fiber Distribution Hub 3000i
Rapid MDU Collector Enclosure
Rapid Fiber Distribution Terminal

Booth #326
AMT introduces new RFOG
solution: Designed by PBN as
a targeted fiber-to-the-premises
solution for cable TV operators,
the Hitachi Node+Zero module is
compatible with the emerging SCTE RFOG (RF Over Glass)
initative, allowing CATV operators to leverage existing headend
equipment and ultimately migrate to FTTH (GePON or
GPON) on a targeted basis. The Node+Zero RFOG module
modulates the return path signal from any RF set-top box or
DOCSIS cable modem into fiber at either 1310 nm or 1590
nm. The module also provides a 1550 nm CATV receiver with
a full forward path frequency response up to 1 GHz. CWDM
is used to overlay the 1550 and 1310 and/or 1590 nm signals
across a 1x32 PON network splitter, offering a platform supporting
two-way communications between CPE equipment
and the headend. Node+Zero RFOG modules can be deployed
as stand-alone network interface devices, or in combination
with a GePON or GPON ONT to provide increased bandwidth,
IPTV, data and VoIP digital telephony services.
