4 Introduction The Sirocco Blown Fibre System provides a simple solution to manage evolving network demands without the need for high initial capital expenditure or extensive network planning. Sirocco enables optical networks to adapt to changing business requirements. Sirocco allows optical fibres to be deployed on demand from one point of a network to another (internal or external) using compressed air to blow optical fibre into pre-installed tubes. Building your network using Sirocco systems could realise the following benefits: Increase network design flexibility > Service provision on a just-in-time basis (Network on Demand) > Existing fibre links can be easily re-routed to new users > Latest and emerging fibre technologies (MM->OM3->SM) can be deployed > Superior damage recovery performance over conventional systems Reduce initial expenditure/control on-going expenditure > Capital expenditure costs can be deferred > Splice and breakout expenses can be minimised > Deployment of fibres is related to actual requirement > Elimination of unlit fibre Speed of customer connections > Equivalent performance for 1st connections, significantly reduced timescales and costs for subsequent connections > Existing tube routes can be interrupted at any location allowing rapid network upgrades The flexibility offered by blown fibre solutions can substantially minimise today's network build costs. Given the uncertainty of future trends in technology, demand growth, people movement and financial confidence, Sirocco can provide a flexible, low total life cost and peace of mind solution. Higher Fibre Count Solutions Sirocco utilises fibre bundles from 2 to 12 fibres and meets the need for the vast majority of last mile applications. A blown fibre tube cable with 24 tubes contained within it can therefore hold a maximum of 288 fibres. However, the inherent advantage of using a tube or ducted infrastructure can be extended further back into a network where higher fibre count may be required. Consequently, Prysmian has developed the Zephyr mini-cable system which allows up to 96 fibres to be installed within a 12/10mm mini-duct. For more information on this capability and range of products please contact your Prysmian representative.

5 Application Guide Sirocco Introduction For almost all applications in the access network and premise distribution, Sirocco offers a cost effective alternative to traditional cabling. Pre-install a multi-tube link, then blow a package of 2 to 12 fibres into a tube, for Day 1 operations. Subsequently, when and if additional capacity is required, more bundles of fibre can be blown into adjacent tubes. This increases network design flexibility, reduces initial expenditure and increases the speed of subsequent service provision. Sirocco blown fibre offers solutions for: Private Networks (LAN/WAN/Campus) The arrival of the digital age has meant an ever increasing demand for bandwidth within all types of private networks, whether they be small office/industrial premises or the largest campus-type environments. Demand changes not only in bandwidth but also delivery locations (desks, buildings etc.) require infrastructures to be adaptable and robust enough to meet today s requirements and be future-proofed for many years to come. Sirocco provides a simple solution to add more fibre, extend the reach of the fibre network, or introduce the next generation of fibres as demand changes, with minimal disruption and cost. Some typical applications for private networks are listed below: > University Campus > High-rise Office Blocks > Industrial Sites > Hotels/Entertainment Complexes > Airports & Ports > Military Sites > Government Buildings > Corporate Offices > Hospitals > Railways/Metros > Mines > Oil/Gas Refineries Access Networks The provision of an optical fibre connection would be justified for almost all business customers. The issue for any telecom operator supplying a service to a new customer in a multi-tenanted office block particularly, but even with its own building, is how much capacity to provide. The solution, to avoid later civils cost of a re-dig or installation of a further cable, has traditionally been to put in more capacity than is likely to be needed. It has been quite common throughout Europe when a new customer was recruited, to install a 12 fibre or 24 fibre cable, sometimes even a 48 fibre cable, even though today s capacity requirements were about 4 fibres. Using Sirocco blown fibre for business connections in an access network means: > Install the fibre required for today s operation > Leave spare tubes for future upgrade > Add fibre when and if more capacity needed > Minimise up-front investment > Tie further investment to revenue growth Fibre To The Home (FTTH) The arrival of fibre is seen by many as the ultimate objective in bringing advanced facilities to people at home. The future. For some, the future is here, with FTTH applications springing up around the globe. For most, the arrival of FTTH is sometime in the future. With Sirocco, the potential exists, particularly for new build projects, to install the tubes fibre-ready. On green field sites, telecommunications becomes the fourth utility, alongside electricity, gas and water, laid ready for use. Adding a network of tubes, at the same time as providing the other services, reduces build costs while avoiding the higher, perhaps unnecessary cost of dark fibre provision. Then, as the falling price of service attracts different groups of customers (innovators, early adopters, followers etc) a fibre bundle can be blown in to supply the service required, where it is required. Sirocco is most commonly used for the distribution or drop elements of the following passive network topologies: > Point to Point, Point to Multipoint > Converged Passive Optical Network (PON) > Cascaded Passive Optical Network (PON) > Distributed Passive Optical Network (PON) 3

6 Case Study Private Network There are many examples of applications of blown fibre in private networks. This example is for a UK-based oil refinery that has been utilising blown fibre since 1994/5, so the site was one of the first to see the benefits of the technology. Over the intervening years the network gradually expanded to provide a communication backbone ring from the main data centre around the main refinery with a leg to the shipping berths for the tankers bringing crude oil from around the world to be turned into petrol, diesel, LPG, paraffin and a host of other products. What has really made a big difference to us, explains the plant s Infrastructure Engineer, is that we now have complete control of the activity so we can react very quickly to urgent needs. With the Prysmian Sirocco solution, we have been able to buy equipment so that we can install the fibres ourselves. Previously the refinery employed an installation company based many miles away. Due to the distance involved, any delay to repair would be significant, with downtime at the site potentially costing upwards of $0.5m per day. With this in mind we arranged for Prysmian to send their trainer to the refinery and members of the team can now blow in a new fibre link in less time than it would have taken a contractor to get to the site. They also appreciate the flexibility that Sirocco provides. Initial links were provided with multiples of 4 fibre 62.5/125 multimode. With the introduction of the Sirocco 12 fibre, some old fibres have been blown out and replaced with a 12 fibre 50/125 multimode unit releasing tubes for later use. The change in preference for 50/125 was prompted by better performance and cheaper active equipment. The maximum length installed so far in the network was an 880 metre connection to the tanker berths although 1500 metre blows are planned. A 6km link is also planned, using singlemode fibres to a duplicate server farm and further extensions to new buildings as services become located outside the blast zone safety and security are an obvious priority to the company. One of the most challenging tasks for the infrastructure team is to provide the facilities required during the refinery shutdown which occurs every four years. Communication services need to be supplied to cabins located around the site, with an additional 180 telephones and 290 PCs being required over a 6 week period. It takes 2 weeks just to allow for the refinery cooling process, but when you start with operating temperatures at around 650ºC, it s not surprising. Traditionally, robust, pre-terminated tight-buffered cables would be temporarily placed around the site, often simply laid across the floor and then cut out after use. With a ducted blown fibre tube network in place around the site, Sirocco fibre units can be blown in ready for the influx of contractors and then blown out again when they ve gone. When working with an operation like this, the last thing you want is concern about the reliability and efficiency of the communications network. reflects the Infrastructure Engineer. 4

7 Sirocco > Managed flexibility address normal and urgent demands > Internal, trained staff and purchased equipment provide self-sufficiency > Time-to-Repair in hours not days > Temporary capacity demand surges can be flexibly accommodated > Avoid unnecessary costs But this is true throughout the year, not just at shutdown time. The blown fibre system is used to provide site security and cameras, data communication, monitoring and metering using hand-held units and will be extended to cover voice using IP telephones. The Sirocco system has also helped us in managing our budgets and the timeframes we can work under. For example, some of the contractors used would have a day s journey to the plant, overnight accommodation and a day s journey back afterwards. And, because these companies have other customers, the work would typically have to be scheduled 4 6 weeks ahead. With Sirocco, planning times can be shortened and costs can be much lower. There are typically a dozen blown fibre projects on the go at one time to extend, develop, introduce advanced controls and improve the current network. The Sirocco tubing is primarily Direct Install, located inside a 100mm duct which provides the required crush protection and separation from any contamination by hydrocarbons. For example, in the link to the berths, 19 way tube is used and then dropping off to 7 tubes. With a wide range of tube and fibre unit options, they are able to develop their network to suit their current requirements, knowing that their future needs will not be impaired. Even the choice of a 100mm duct leaves them space to add further tubes when and if necessary. As some of the tubes may be in place for months or years before being fibred, the Sirocco Tube Integrity & Length Tester (STILT) is invaluable to check the route before blowing fibre. Sirocco has made a big difference to the way we can manage our network and respond to normal requirements and urgent changes, concludes the Infrastructure Engineer, the key benefit for us is managed flexibility. Sirocco Introduction 5

8 Case Study Access Networks Despite popular opinion in some quarters that blown fibre solutions were first introduced for in-building networks, because they are too fragile for the rigours of application in external environments, blown fibre was originally developed as a solution for Access Networks and has been most extensively used for last mile customer connections around the world. None more so than the UK, where, for approaching 15 years, blown fibre units have been installed into cables containing a number of empty tubes, primarily 4 tube Direct Install assembly, to build the access network for business customers in towns and cities. In fact, for any industrial or commercial customer whose requirements justify the provision of an optical fibre connection, blown fibre has been used. While the standard approach has been to install one or a number of 2 or 4 singlemode fibre units into the available tubes, the flexibility of the blown fibre solution means that in recent years higher fibre count units (8 or 12 fibre) can address larger customer requirements or provide a growth path to add capacity at a later stage. As the bundles can be blown out and re-utilised if required, more capacity can be offered by replacing a 2 fibre unit with a 4, 8 or 12 fibre unit should there be no available tubes to blow in extra fibre. Flexibility is being further enhanced by adopting newer fibre types. In-building or campus networks may evolve from multimode 50/125 and 62.5/125 to OM3 or singlemode to accommodate faster speeds or longer distances and networks may incorporate different fibre types depending upon the application and configuration. In access networks, where singlemode fibre is the standard and the use of NZD (Non-Zero Dispersion Shifted) fibre is unlikely to be applicable (being generally used for high bit rate, long haul networks) the only likely trend could be toward low water-peak fibres. These fibres extend the bandwidth and so the capacity of singlemode fibres by making available for transmission the region around 1383nm, traditionally affected by the naturally occurring water peak in fibres causing higher attenuation. Some customers have adopted these fibres (Prysmian s MagniLight fibre) in their blown fibre network as part of their future-proofing strategy, despite the fact that transmission equipment is not yet available to utilise these wavelengths. In fact most operators prefer to deploy standard singlemode fibre on day one and they intend to upgrade to MagniLight fibre if and when they require the extra operating window. In a typical access network, the distance of the final drop to a business customer will be a few hundred metres. All of the Sirocco blown fibre bundles (2 to 12 fibre irrespective of fibre type) will blow around 1km in a single point-to-point route in these applications, making planning simple, as long as the recommended Sirocco tube is used (these lengths may not be achievable using other manufacturers tubes as the tube inner liner has a major effect on blowing distances). With the tube cable in place, installation of the blown fibre unit in an access network will be achieved in less than 15 minutes for a typical route, ready for splicing and termination. 6

9 Sirocco > Avoid dark fibre investment > Flexibility to add capacity at a later date > Introduce new fibre types when required > Achieve 1km blow length, sufficient for access connections > Capacity upgrade blow in 15 minutes > Blow to building entry or straight to internal presentation point In the UK, the standard approach is to deliver the blown fibre into the building and terminate it at the building-entry point (the internal network being the responsibility of the building owner or user). Elsewhere, the blown fibre may be blown from the external network node right to a presentation point anywhere within a building (on the ground floor or at the 30th floor of a high rise office block). The connection of tubes is a very easy procedure, simply plugging together lengths of external and/or internal tubing with a plastic connector (that withstands the blowing pressure during test and installation). The blown fibre unit can then be blown through a series of lengths of inter-connected tube to the presentation point. If a diverse feed is required to provide resilience/security, then simply by connecting up alternative route paths through the network, this can be achieved. A significant cost benefit can be gained when deploying fibre to many different floors of a high rise office block when using blown fibre versus conventional cable. The graph below shows the cost benefit derived by one operator when connecting seven customers within a high rise office block when using blown fibre versus conventional cable. The cost advantage here is mainly derived from the elimination of costly installation work carried out within risers and reinstating fire barriers when repeatedly installing conventional optical cables.

10 Case Study FTTH The principle of Fibre To The Home has long been recognised as the ultimate objective in enabling the provision of true triple play services to residential customers for many different types of telecom operators. Triple play services (video, internet and telephony) are seen as the primary method for capturing and maintaining residential customers for future revenue streams but until recently there have been capital expenditure barriers restricting the deployment of such optical networks, particularly for large operators. However, the recent cost reductions for active optical components and the innovation of new deployment technologies have now enabled many operators to live the dream and deploy FTTH networks. The Scandinavian countries of Denmark, Norway and Sweden have been amongst the first to exploit these innovations and cost reductions, which have resulted in a major FTTH network roll-out across the region. Sirocco has been a key enabler for these operators deploying FTTH networks. The flexibility and scalability of the system allows easier network design, installation and configuration than conventional optical cable systems. In fact in some installations the whole FTTH network has been constructed with the use of Sirocco from the central office all the way to customer homes. In other examples the system has been combined with conventional optical cable networks to obtain maximum cost efficiencies, flexibility and scalability. Many municipalities and utilities have chosen to construct the physical layer of their network using a Point to Point fibre network which gives the ultimate optical solution with one or two fibres dedicated to each customer all the way from the central office. Due to the hostile conditions during the winter months across the region it is common for the ducting and cable network to be constructed during the summer months. Customer connections can then be established at any time during the year by blowing the Sirocco fibre units into place from a variety of network locations. As a consequence fibre units have been blown in a wide range of climatic and weather conditions at all times of the year. In rural regions it is common for blown fibre cables to be directly buried roadside and customer connections completed with the use of branching units and single Direct Buried tube cables. Customers are then easily connected by blowing fibre units up to 1000m from distribution closure or cabinet or even in some cases directly from the central office. In this way, capital expenditure is minimised on day one and unlit fibre in the network is avoided. 8

11 Sirocco > Easy network construction/planning > Rapid customer connections > Minimises fibre splicing > Durable network > Network easily upgraded Urban areas can be constructed in a similar manner but the frequent occurrence of Multi Dwelling Units (MDU s) means that Sirocco can be used in a slightly different application. Here, traditional cable or Sirocco can be used to deploy fibre to the basement of MDU s or street-side cabinets nearby and Sirocco tubing installed to each apartment within the MDU in a variety of configurations. Once again, Sirocco enables the deployment of the fibre only when customers sign up for service and the fibre units can be blown in either from within the MDU or from outside the building. For both MDU and single dwelling units the use of pre-connectorised blown fibre units (connectors at one end of the fibre unit) is becoming increasingly common to achieve quicker customer connection. Other network operators are now choosing to deploy a Passive Optical Network (PON) infrastructure to further reduce network construction costs. In these types of network the signal sent down one optical fibre from the central office is split downstream in the network with the use of passive optical splitters. Typically the signal can be split up to 32 times but the ratio of the split depends on the distance between the customer and central office. Splitter devices are most commonly housed in either street-side cabinets (commonly referred to as fibre distribution hubs), or within closures which can be stored in underground chambers or hung from poles. There are a variety of PON topologies but broadly speaking they would be designed around Converged, Cascaded or Distributed PON architectures which are shown in the following pages of this catalogue. The Sirocco system contains a range of products which can be used within all of these network architectures. Prysmian offers a portfolio of products that will support whichever network topology most suits the environment and strategy of each individual network operator. These products range from external to internal elements of the network, from the central office through to feeder and distribution elements of the network and finally to the customer drop/connection. In addition, Prysmian continues to add new products and technologies to its FTTH portfolio as the market continues to expand. Sirocco Introduction 9

17 Pre-connectorised EPFU Pre-connectorised EPFU is a surface modified fibre unit for blown fibre applications with factory-terminated connector/s at one end. In certain applications, it may be desirable to minimise field termination of Sirocco. In residential applications, such as when introducing FTTH (Fibre To The Home) networks, it may be recommended to minimise time spent/disruption in customer premises. Prysmian s world-leading Sirocco now incorporates a pre-connectorised solution particularly suitable for FTTH applications. Blown Fibre Units Currently available using a 2 fibre Singlemode EPFU (Enhanced Performance Fibre Unit) stored on a plastic reel with 1 or 2 x SCU connectors on the inner end. The unit will be blown in using a suitable blowing head, with the reel located on a spindle. A number of standard lengths (30, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 400 and 500 metres) are available to address a variety of installation requirements.
