Types of In-house Optical Cabling Methods1. Cabling using conduits; In a newly-built house, in-house conduits are installed in the internal wall. 2. Exposed cabling; For an already-built house, an optical cable is wired along the internal wall. Three methods are used: “Exposed cabling using optical staples”, “Cabling with cable protector”, or “Free cabling“.

Optical Fiber Cable for Detached Houses■Two types of optical fiber cables are used for FTTH in detached houses. 1. Optical drop fiber cable is used to introduce line into the house.2. Indoor optical fiber cable for in-house distribution.■Silica glass single-mode (SM) optical fibers.■Optical fiber with a low bending loss has recently been used to halve the permissible bending radius to 15 mm.

2) Indoor optical fiber cable1) Optical drop fiber cable

New Indoor Optical Cable for Restricted Spaces

■New indoor optical fiber cables for wiring through spaces around doors or windows for existing condominiums or small apartments are developed by NTT. ■Excellent installation workability has been achieved due to the good bending loss performance and optimum cable configuration. ■The new cable can be drawn into dwellings without creating a hole in the wall.

2) Indoor optical fiber cables for restricted spaces

Cabling and Connection /Maintenance and Management

■Generally, a telecommunication service provider is responsible for the outdoor cabling of optical drop fiber cable and the in-house cabling of indoor optical fiber cable and installing an ONU.■Maintenance and management should be performed in accordance with the following points.

1) Record of installation of new or additional cabling and equipment

2)Dissemination of warnings about in-house optical facilities- Do not touch the endface of the optical connector to avoid any increase in connection loss. - Do not look at the endface of an optical connector because the laser beam may damage the eyes.- When moving furniture, be careful to do not damage the optical fiber cable. - Warning about optical fiberIf the indoor optical cable is cut by mistake, do not touch the end. The optical fiber may cause a wound by piercing part of the body.

Test and Performance Standards■Test of optical loss or optical power level at ONU is conducted after installing and connecting an optical fiber cable. Test results must meet the performance standard. ■The test methods and performance standards differ for each telecommunication service provider.■In FTTH, with the spread of video services, PON optical power meters are used, which can measure different wavelengths 1490 nm (for Internet services) & 1550 nm (for video service) simultaneously.

Examples of PON optical power meters

■For the backbone cable, the required number of fibers are installed in each dwelling unit.■The distribution method should be determined based on installation difficulty, EPS space, and cost. ■The three methods shown below are used.

Termination at Dwelling Unit■A horizontal cable is terminated in a generic cabling box or an optical wall outlet.■An optical connector is connected on-site at the end of the horizontal cable. Alternatively it is fusion or mechanically spliced with an optical cord using a connector. ■The optical connector is usually an SC type optical connector.■Cabling at a dwelling unit is shown below.

Basic Configuration of POF Distribution System■Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) is used to replace a LAN cable or coaxial cable in detached or apartment houses.■Acrylic Resin-Type POF is used for in-house cabling, Fluoropolymer-Type POF is used for backbone cabling in apartment houses.■POF is distributed from a media converter (M/C) inside a generic cabling box to an another M/C via a telecommunication outlet in each room using a pre-installed conduit.

Example of cabling configuration of acrylic resin-type POF for newly constructed detached houses

Page 21: Shin ichi furukawa

POF Cord or Cable■Single cord and duplex zip cord, both of which are POFs directly buffered with resin, are used as acrylic resin-type POFs. ■Generally, a loose duplex cable (flat type) with tension lines, or a duplex cable with aramid yarn is used for fluoropolymer-type POFs.

a) Duplex zip cord (2.2 x 4.4 mm) b) Duplex cable (4.0 x 5.5 mm)

See Figure 1) and 2). ■The polishing method is used for terminating the optical connector for fluoropolymer POFs.

2) Plug-less connection to media converters

3) Termination by polishing with simple polishing disk for fluoropolymer POFs

Simply cut cord with small cutter

Optical Loss Measurement Procedure for POF■An optical fiber loss test for POF is also conducted using an optical power meter at an operating wavelength after installing an optical cable and completing the termination process.

The testing procedure (simple method) is as follows: 1) Turn on light source and allow to warm up for about 10 minutes;2) Connect a launching optical fiber cable to light source and to optical power meter and measure optical power (Pin); 3) Connect cable under test to launching cable and optical power meter and measure optical power (Pout);4) Calculate loss value in accordance with formula below:

Loss (dB) = Pin (dBm) – Pout (dBm)

Certification of Optical Fiber Cabling Technology ■Information Network Installation Professional (iNIP) is an NPO qualification certified by the Advanced Info-Communications Promotion Community (ICP).

ICP has been approved as a test organization by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. A vocational ability test related to Telecommunications Distribution Technology has been put into operation with ICP.

■However each telecommunication service provider has its own certification program. This is because the test methods and performance standards differ depending on the provider.

■Seminar courses on optical fiber cabling technology including fiber treatment, splicing, connection, testing and troubleshooting have been held in accordance with the iNIP by individual telecommunication carriers, optical cable manufacturers, construction companies, and so on.

Improvement of Optical Fiber Distribution Techniques

■Construction techniques have been improved through National and World Skill Competitions.■50th National Skills Competition was held in Nagano Prefecture in October 2012.The Telecommunications Distribution Technology Skill competition was won by Mr. Utsunomiya (KINDEN CORPORATION). This also qualifies him for the 42nd World Skills Competition (Leipzig, Germany, July 2013 ). The winner of this competition will qualify for international competitions as a representative of Japan.

Conclusion■I showed the current status of FTTH in Japan, and described the standardization and research activities in OITDA.

■We want to contribute to the standardization of FTTH technology using silica glass optical fiber.

■We also want to contribute to the standardization of FITH technology using POF.
