Plug and Play™ Universal System: An Overview • What is polarity management? – Maintaining proper transmit-to-receiver continuity throughout a system • How does Plug and Play™ Universal System do it? – Uses a patented wiring solution in the modules so that no matter how many modules, harnesses, trunks or extender trunks are used or where they are placed, fiber polarity is maintained • Why is polarity management important? – Improperly placed or installed polarity components can result in system failure – Planning for polarity components during design and installation adds time and complexity • Also adds complexity to inventory

– When the time comes for moves, changes and adds, polarity may have to be reconfigured all over again

Polarity Basics – Transmit Goes to Receive • Reverse Fibre Positioning – – Fibres are terminated into the connector in a different order on each end (Blue/Orange on one end and Orange/Blue on the other end) – With this schematic, intention is to transmit top fibre to top fibre and bottom fibre to bottom fibre (pair wise) – Standard for jumpers – Maintains transceiver continuity regardless of number of links Tx

Plug and Play™ Universal System: An Overview – Compatibility with Previous Product •

Component-to-component, the Plug and Play™ Universal System and the Plug and Play™ Classic System are not compatible – Universal: Manages polarity in the module – Classic: Manages polarity in the trunk

•

However, projects that have previously installed Classic can take advantage of Universal for extensions to/adding a link – This can be done via a cross connect

•

Plug and Play Universal System is our lead product and our standard Plug and Play offering – However, the Classic system will remain available (though it will not be actively promoted or very visible)

•

New customers and existing customers with new projects should be encouraged to use the Universal system – Customers working on existing Classic installations will likely need to continue with the Classic system

How is it different – UNIVERSAL WIRING Benefits •

Two or more MTP trunks can be easily linked together. High fiber count trunks can be routed to an intermediate distribution area where smaller fiber count trunks are interconnected and distributed to zone, station or cabinet areas.

•

Provides a simple migration path between 2-fiber and parallel applications.

•

No special polarity components or polarity concerns during link configuration and reconfiguration

•

Modules and harnesses are wired the same to simplify system assembly. Module-tomodule, module-to-harness, or harness-to-harness all provide the same fiber paths.

•

Modular system enables fast and simple networking moves, changes and adds with correct fiber polarity guaranteed

•

Avoids polarity problems caused by incorrect placement of fiber pair-wise flipped modules or jumpers in the network.

•

System length is expandable by using Universal Extender Trunks without impacting transmit/receive polarity

LOW LOSS – NEW POLISHING PROCESS Fibers protrude 10 um evenly above ferrule end face. CCS patented process MTP connectors have a low-loss option available. The low-loss solution minimizes the db loss of a module or a harness. Typically, losses in the module or harness are rated at a maximum of 1.3 db. With the low loss module or harness losses will be reduced to a maximum of 0.75 db. This results in an enhanced performance module or harness due to new precision components in the connector. The polishing process of the fiber in the ferrule of the connector gives you better performance and allows better db performance down to 0.75 db.

LOW LOSS – NEW POLISHING PROCESS BENEFITS • Low loss components become very important in high bandwidth communications protocols, where link loss budgets are relatively low. Example: • Use de-rating tables to answer the following: • Consider a 120 meter link running 10 GbE over laser Laser-Optimized 50/125 um-300 fiber, where — Cable attenuation = 3.0 dB/km — EMB = 2000 MHz-km. • How many standard Plug & Play modules, each having 1.3 dB max loss, can be used in the link? — Answer: 4 modules can be used. Max channel insertion loss will be (0.12 km x 3.0 dB/km) + (4 x 1.3 dB) = 5.56 dB.

• How many low loss Plug & Play modules, each having 0.75 dB max loss, can be used in the link? — Answer: 7 modules can be used. Max channel insertion loss will be (0.12 km x 3.0 dB/km) + (7 x 0.75 dB) = 5.61 dB.
