 UTT DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR FIBER TO THE HOME
REQUIREMENTSIN NEW BUILDINGS

1.1. INTRODUCTION:
Telecommunications is now an integral part of the social, economic and political issue of the
world. Networks of the future will be digital and intelligent and will offer high transmission
capacity and flexible bandwidth in addition, they will be easily accessed and connected while
its services will be personal and tailored to individual needs. They will allow us to interact in
ways previously not possible - available at any time and any place. In addition to providing
entertainment and business services, networks of the future will provide education, health
and other public services.

Major advances in communications technology have substantially widened the range of

services carried by the network. Satellites, microwave radio, optical cable links, digital
switching and transmission, offer a potential for the improvement of quality and for the
extension of access to the most remote areas. The pace of technological change is increasing
while the magnitude of demands the future will make on our creativity and capacity to adapt
is great. Customers will demand more than just state-of-the-art technology; they will want
convenience and increased control over their lives that easy and affordable information access
can provide while businesses will look for total telecommunications solutions that will not
only enable them to remain productive and compete globally but will also give them a
competitive edge.

Ubiquitous Telecommunication Technology (UTT) can be well-placed to meet these challenges

ahead and meet the varied needs of our local and international customers and pave the way
for the region's new dynamism in the telecommunications industry well into the 21st Century.

As the technology and mode of transport are changing fast, a broad approach to suit all future
type of services will have to be born in mind, while designing the infrastructures for the
buildings. A properly designed building with clear Access path supports the triple play
services (via) telephony, data and Video services. Also, supports future advanced services,
warranting higher speeds and higher bandwidth, planned to be available in near future, for
faster provision of services.

The present booklet is to provide guidelines for consultants, contractors the details on the in-
building facilities required to be considered at the design stage.

The details provided are a general insight and the minimum requirements of UTT for the new
buildings, primarily to develop and deploy FTTH (Fiber to Home).

1.2. INTRODUCTIONTO FTTH (FIBER TO THE HOME)
The FTTH is simply the 100 percent deployment of optical fiber in the access network. It is
commonly deployed in two specific configurations, as below:

• Point-to point. (PTP) network - Fiber is dedicated to each user in the access network.
PTP networks are characterized by the use of one fiber and laser per user. A dedicated
fiber is terminated at the subscriber and active devices at the central office (CO) for a
telecommunications provider.

Dedicated Fiber to each home

Central
Office

Distribution Fiber Feeder Fiber

Figure1.1 (Point to point (PTP) network)

• Passive optical network (PON) - A single fiber is shared (via a splitter) among a set
number of users, typically thirty-two.

PONs are characterized by the “splitting” of the same optical fiber along the way, resulting in
the sharing of the optical fiber among multiple users
The fiber in a PON is designed to share between 2 to 128 users, depending upon the
availability of splitters. .

A PON will have less optical reach than a PTP network, which does not use splitters. Typically
a PON is capable of reaching subscribers 20 kilometers (km) from the OLT, which will cover
most of the population.

GPON promises 2.5/1.25 Gbps asymmetrical operation. GPON supports ATM, Ethernet and
WDM using a superset multi-protocol layer.
GPON requires supporting a multiple protocols through translation to the native Generic
Encapsulation Method (GEM) transport layer that through emulation provides support for
ATM, Ethernet and WDM protocols.
The important characteristics of each PON technology are defined by two important standards
bodies, the IEEE and the ITU.

In addition one RG6 socket shall be provided for the television purposes in every room for the
TV connectivity.
The SCS design in this section is little different than the previous sections as the FO cables
are not included under the building contractor scope. When we talk about villas, only copper
cables are required as UTT will be bringing in the Fiber Cable directly from the manhole to the
ONU enclosure (customer premises box)

However, the following are the general minimum requirements of structured cabling Systems,
for provision of service.

6.2 CIVIL WORKS REQUIRED BY THE CONTRACTOR

6.2.1 BACK BOXES FOR ALL TELECOMMUNICATION OUTLETS:

7.0 PROTECTION FROM ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE

The following requirements apply to FTP cabling, as pathways and spaces used to carry
or house Telecommunications Cabling

• The proximity of cabling to electrical facilities and equipment that generate high
levels of electromagnetic interference (EMI) should be taken into account for
metallic cabling.

• Sources of EMI include : Power Cables, Photocopy equipment, electric motors,

transformers, fluorescent lighting, arc welders and induction heaters etc.
• To avoid EMI, the Telecommunications pathways, spaces and metallic cables shall
be installed with the following clearances :

 1.2 m (4 ft.) from large motors or transformers

 0.3 m (1 ft.) From conduit and cables used for electrical power distribution.
 12 cm (5 in) from fluorescent lighting.

• Pathways and metallic cables shall cross perpendicular to fluorescent lighting and
electrical power cables or conduits.

7.1 SEPARATION DISTANCE FROM POWER SOURCE:

During the design stages, separation of power and the Structured Cabling Systems (SCS)
must be considered. Shielded data cables should not be installed near sources of
electromagnetism. The following are a general guideline:

Typical Building Environment, Minimum Separation Distance from Power Source < 480V

8.0 PRIVATE BRANCH EXCHANGE (PBX), SWITCHES & SERVERS

A private branch exchange (PBX) is a telephone exchange that serves a particular business
or office, as opposed to one that a common carrier or telephone company operates for many
businesses or for the general public. PBXs are also referred to as:

• PABX – private automatic branch exchange

• EPABX – electronic private automatic branch exchange

PBXs make connections among the internal telephones of a private organization—usually a

business—and also connect them to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) via trunk
lines. Because they incorporate telephones, fax machines, modems, and more, the general
term "extension" is used to refer to any end point on the branch.

If the customer is having his own PBX, servers and networking system then a server room is
required to place all the equipment. In this case the ONU(s) shall be installed on a shelf in the
server rack having the FO cables from the FTR spliced in a Fiber patch panel.
