Introduction R&Mfoxs: Modular - Flexible - Innovative R&Mfoxs is the professional solution for ultra broadband infrastructures and next generation networks. «This solution unifies all the factors that network operators must take into account for a successful FTTH future.» R&Mfoxs stands for: Fiber Optic Cross Connections System from Reichle & De-Massari AG. The system is based upon a modular design, and can therefore be custom-adapted to your needs, no matter what they are. Complete solutions for all networks All R&Mfoxs (fiber optic cross connection system) is based on a modular principle. The distributor and connection technologies have a modular design and are perfectly compatible with each other. That means they can be deployed flexibly in accordance with the needs of the given market and site. Partners also retain all options when selecting network architectures, expansion strategies and access models. Owing to their modular design, the systems are readily scalable and open to new technologies such as up-and-coming wavelength division multiplexing (WDM PON). In other words, partners invest only in what they really need. High availability and performance of the networks is assured by Swiss quality, the industry- leading R&M standards and advanced security and safety features. At R&M, each part is individually tested for all relevant parameters before leaving the factory. Efficient quick-assembly technology is one of the fundamental traits of R&M solutions. It eliminates the need for tools in many cases and shortens installation and service procedures by as much as 30%. Easy-to-install innovations from R&M simplify fiber and subscriber management and the handling of optical connection technology. Core components such as splice and patch units can be used multiple times. This feature noticeably reduces the expense and effort that go into learning about and installing the equipment, while greatly simplifying logistics. The all-round service begins with customer-specific adjustments and the provision of fully pre-terminated, factory-tested units. It extends to consulting services for network planning support and solution evaluation. With the training and certification of the technical personnel, R&M ensures the quality of the installation. Support services accompany the network operators over the entire life cycle of their FTTX installations. 3

FO Field 090.7337 090.7336 Tool less assembling Fast and secure assembling saves installation costs Easy logistic: all cable and tube types with one plug Reduces maintenance costs 60dB RL plugged, >55dB unplugged Grade Cf, IL typ. 0.25 db 35dB RL and Grade B M for MM Available as LC and SC Perfect solution for FITH, FTTD Flexible, modular system A genuine alternative to splicing the FO Field from R&M Professional and quality-conscious users of FO cabling demand precise APC contacts (APC = Angled Physical Contact) for the entire transmission path. In this solution, the fiber polish is 8. The result: an LC connector for singlemode fibers and APC polish (SM APC) with top-class performance in the Grade Cf/1 range. At this performance level, insertion loss is typically 0.25dB and return loss over 60dB always referring to the connector and fiber junction together. As well a Multimode version is available with excellent performance RL >35 db and IL 0.25dB. The connectors can be used to assemble both tight and compact tubes of 0.6 to 0.9 mm diameter. A crimp-free strain relief was also developed specially for cables of up to 3.0 mm. Time is money, especially for installers who have limited installation time during the FTTH rollout. Here the advantage of R&Ms FO Field connector becomes handy. Due to its fast and easy assembly process, the installation time can be massively reduced. 16

Upgrading and installing optical high-performance networks is in full swing on an international scale. This means the importance of connectors as key components of the passive cabling infrastructure is also increasing. No matter what area, from WAN, metropolitan area and campus network applications up to backbone cabling and subscriber connections, the use of top-quality connectors ensures highest transmission rates, consistent network availability and saves energy to boot (Green Network). It is therefore indispensable that planners and installers have a sound knowledge of the quality grades for fiber optic connectors.. 17
