OFS brings unique solutions for fiber in the MDU. OFS’ FOXSolution Offering for Multi-Dwelling Units features several end-to-endsolutions optimized to distribute fiber in buildings and individual livingunits.Solutions to Bring Fiber to the Living Unit: HomeRun Outdoor and Indoor Cabling SystemsFast and low total installed cost method V-Linx Spool and Play Solution Optimized for dense, multi-story buildings Speeds installation in large or small MDUs Classic SlimBox distribution boxes and cables Features traditional premise cable and components Solutions Within the Unit: EZ-Bend Drop Cables EZ-Bend InvisiLight Indoor Living Unit SolutionSlimBox distribution boxesThese products help you install the MDU network fast, efficiently, and reliably with outstanding optical performance. In addition, thesesolutions are field proven in widespread FTTHdeployments around the world.

Solutions to the Unit (Solution 1) – HomeRunOutdoor Cabling System Featuring EZ-BendFiberFor indoor or outdoor deployment, horizontal or vertical configurationsThe HomeRun Outdoor CablingSystem saves time by pulling upto 12 bundled individual dropassemblies at once.Features: HomeRun features rugge-RISER400 A2 LIUdized 4.8 mm Indoor/Outdoorcable with EZ-Bend UltraBend Insensitive Fiber. Deployable either indoors oroutdoors Vertical or horizontal configurations Vertical deployments (buildings) Horizontal deployments Passing strip malls Stadiums for DAS deployments Outdoor deployments – drop coilsare placed outside a window –simply drill a hole into the unit andpull the cable inside Indoor deployments - bundles arelocated in a riser space next to theliving unit CO end – available either bare orpre-connectorized Home end – Typically pre-connectorized with SCA connectorsTo Install:1) Install the bundle by pulling them up or down the side of thebuilding2) Connect the bundle to the electronics or fiber distribution3) When a customer subscribes, drill a hole through the wall,uncoil the bundled end, run the cable through the wall andplug into the ONT“A”Items Needed to Specify:1) Number of fibers/cables in the bundle (typically correspondsto number of floors)2) “A” Tail length – Distance from electronics to the firstbundle location3) “B” Distance between floors (or distance between bundlesfor horizontal application4) “C” Bundle lengthElectronics orfiber distribution“B”“C”

Solutions to the Unit (Solution 2) – HomeRun Indoor MDUCabling SolutionOFS’ HomeRun MDU Cabling Solution is an excellent choice for small buildingsand garden-style apartments. It features an innovative cable design that helpsminimize capital investment and enables customers to be quickly and efficientlyadded as they sign up for service.The small diameter cable can fit in small riser spaces, and can be installed ina drop ceiling, in wire molding, or directly attached to the wall. The cable mayconsist of up to 12 fibers.Easily installable in buildings withvariable distances between doorsExcellent solution for small buildings or garden apartments.To install:Simply run the cable down the hallway. When a customer signs up, pullout a drop cable, install a connector, and plug them in.Features: Pre-connectorized option on the upstream side to simply installation Enables smooth installations without snagging on obstacles throughthe installation pathFiber distribution hub forPON or patch panel forpoint-to-point systemsTurning service on for a customer is easy!1) Cut 2 windows in cable. Cut and pull back 0.5 m(18”) of 1.6 mm cordage2) Mount OFS/FEC Mechanical Splice or FusionSplice-On Connector on cord3) Plug connector directly into subscriber’s ONT orinto SlimBox unit at the door and run EZ-BendInvisiLight products into the living unitColor coded small 1.6 mm cords alloweasy and accurate fiber tracing andconnection from entry point toliving unit along with fast easystripping and termination.Midspan AccessItems Needed to Specify:The HomeRun MDU Cabling Solution inside a largeMDU minimizes riser space needed1) Fiber count2) Length3) Connector type (if pre-connectorizedon telecom closet end) for horizontalapplication
