CommScope is a Market Leader in Fiber
Others project themselves as leaders, yet…
1977: CommScope enters the Optical Fiber Business
Sold a standard loose-tube OSP cable
SYSTIMAX led the way with the LC connector in ’95,

Reducing panel and closet space required for fiber-optics by 50%
Others backed the MTRJ, where is it now?
LazrSPEED 300 was available in August ‘98

Others followed two years later
LazrSPEED 550 was available in October ‘01

Others released theirs three years later
OM4 Standard (2009) is based on LazrSPEED 550 Specifications

Others had to update their spec in 2009 - Their pre-standard fiber is ???
CommScope OM3 and OM4 fiber tested to BOTH DMD and EMBc
Others fight over which test method is more accurate
LazrSPEED cable attenuation has been 3.0 dB since 2002
Others matched only in 2006
Loose-tube Data Center cable in mid-2005

Others backing away from ribbon for low fiber count cables starting in Jan.’07
InstaPATCH Solution is the Premium Data Center Solution

Only Solution that is both Standards Compliant and does NOT need
any Special Polarity-correcting Components
Our SM ISP attenuation spec is now 0.5 / 0.5 dB/km

Others are still 1.0 / 0.75 for plenum tight-buffered fiber cables
2005: CommScope develops the ROC connector

Shipboard connectors used in F22 Fighter Planes and Tomahawk Missiles
CommScope OM4 360 Solution allows 100G up to 170 meters

IEEE 100G Standard (Draft) states 125 - 150 meters for standard OM4 fiber
CommScope is Preparing for Future Enterprise Applications

Connector Lines Q/A
Why Does it Help to Understand the Basics of
Fiber Manufacturing or Testing?
The manufacturing method does matter
Affects ability to upgrade electronics
Any company can claim performance

Bandwidth often specified BEFORE fiber is cabled
Bandwidth rarely independently tested
End Users are looking for help

How is CommScope 300 meter fiber different than anyone else’s?
How does the end user know CommScope (or any) product will meet
the required performance for 20 years?
Helps to back up your recommendation and use of premium products

LazrSPEED 300 and 550 will go the distance
The right solution won’t have to be replaced with the next wave of
electronics upgrades
Light Propagation: Total internal reflection is
required for light to travel through an optical fiber
Reflection Total Internal Reflection

Cladding
Core Refraction
Cladding
• Light will always change speed and direction when it moves from one
substance (IOR) to another.
• The index of refraction for both core and cladding plus the angle of
incidence determines whether reflection or refraction occurs

• Susceptible to center dip
There are Many Processes to Make Fiber,
and They are Not all the Same

Best predictor of effective laser bandwidth

DMD vs. EMBc
Don’t get caught up in the debate
DMD is a measurement process, EMBc is a calculation based upon these
measurements
Therefore the DMD measurements are extremely important for the accuracy of
both methods
EMBc uses a set up vcsels as “representatives” to determine the expected

performance of the fiber
HRDMD looks at the entire cross-section of the fiber and determines worse case
The 10 VCSELs chosen may NOT be “representative” of what the customer will
see in their system
CommScope now has its fiber qualified to BOTH DMD and EMBc, so there is no
argument
CommScope developed HRDMD, the best measurement method, competition
promotes an inferior method
However, just to remove all arguments, CommScope evaluates to BOTH
procedures
If a fiber fails either one, it is not used in CommScope cable

SM channel is >7x the cost of 10G-SR 10xLAG ⇒ huge market acceptance barrier
Note: 10G-SR channel costs would be ~1/3rd lower with SFP+ instead of X2 modules ⇒ ~11x factor
LAG can be deployed in >100m channels but necessitates the use of 10 ports per switch,
and management of 10 separate channels
XR offers >11x lower cost w/o increased port consumption or management !!
Cost comparison does not account for module density impact on line card cost,
which would amplify the illustrated XR cost factor and shrink the LAG cost factor
XR module can be physically the same size as SR10 100m module ⇒ no loss of density

Systimax and Uniprise
Products had basically the same performance and pricing
Simplification both internally and externally
Now fiber cables have a CommScope part numbering scheme
Kept Systimax MIDs
Changed to “Uniprise” product numbers
No warranty issues

Network Infrastructure is
Connectivity and Switching
The core layer routes traffic from the outside world to the
Distribution layer and vice versa.
Ethernet is converted to ATM, SONET, DS1/DS3
MDA
Distribution: layer 3 routing ends and Layer 2 switching
begins.
Firewalls, Load Balancing and Content Switching, and
subnet monitoring take place, aggregating the VLANs
below them.
In smaller Data Centers the Core and Distribution Layer are
one and the same. HDA
The Access Layer is where the servers access the network.

Also called the Edge.
We advise using repeatable designs for placing the access
switching devices. Create a standard, “cookie cutter”
design that can be put in place anywhere in the Data EDA
Center.

Fiber Testing: Cleaning is Job #1
Cleaning can literally solve ½

of the issues seen during the
system validation
Both BTW and patch cord
connectors should be cleaned
Don’t forget the adapters
Connector cleaning:
1. Wipe endface with a 91% or better pure

Fiber Optic Testing: Requirements for New

OLTS Loss testing is mandatory, OTDR is optional and only additional
Remember LED’s and Lasers may be a hazard
Testing verifies installed cabling meets design and standards for link/channel
SYSTIMAX SCS requires testing in one direction only at:
850nm 1300nm 1310nm 1550nm

MMF Horizontal link X or X
MMF Backbone & composite link X and X
SMF Horizontal link X or X

FOSTP: 526-14A for MMF and 526-7 loss for SMF
LED for MM, Laser for SM
NO VCSEL
Fiber Optic Testing Requirements
OLTS testing requires a Mandrel to be used on the launch to reduce measurement
error and variability (good for representation of LED or VCSEL) when testing MM
systems
Its is mandatory that fusion splice tension testing is performed and confirmed during
site registration
The following should be recorded:
Test persons name
Type of equipment and calibration certificate
Date of test
Wavelength, spectral width, CPR (coupled power ratio – MMF only)
Fiber ID and end point locations
Test direction
Measured attenuation
Acceptable link attenuation (from design phase)
OLTS Testing Basics
• Optical Loss Test sets consist of
power source and meter
• They are generally simple to operate
and should provide an accurate loss
measurement
• Wavelength can be selected
• Battery health, re-calibration, warm-
up, powering off after zeroing and
mechanical changes at the source will
all impact accuracy
Single-mode fiber should be tested
with a Laser
MMF should be tested with an LED,
Courtesy of Fluke Networks NOT a VCSEL
Check those settings (standard, # of
connector pairs, fiber type, etc)
OLTS Testing Basics: Mandrel Wrap is Required
for MMF
• A mandrel causes the
higher-order modes of
light to refract out of
the system
• Only required during
the testing phase
• For use during both
the reference and
system test
• Creates more
repeatable test results
OLTS Testing Basics: Mandrel Wrapping for
MMF
• 5 Wraps on the Source jumper only

• LazrSPEED (any 50 um) – 25* mm
OD mandrel
• OptiSPEED (any 62.5 um) – 20* mm
OD mandrel

OLTS Testing: Verify Test Jumpers Before
System Testing Begins
• Calibrate OLTS as per

recommendations of • Jumper 2 and coupler should be equal or
manufacturer less than the losses below
• Clean all leads • Flip jumper 2 end over end and ensure
this also is the case
• Mandrel wrap as per prescription • Verify Jumper 1 by swapping with jumper
below (loop for Single Mode) 2 (remove mandrel in 1 and place in 2)

Test as if the system was made up of fiber pairs.

The loss of the trunk will be accounted for within
the system test
OLTS Testing: Troubleshooting InstaPATCH 360
1) Clean all connectors first. Retest

2) Replace Module A with a known good test module. Retest
– If system now passes, Module A is the issue
3) Replace Module B with known good test module. Retest
– If system passes now, Module B is the issue
4) If the system loss is still too high, the trouble is with the MPO trunk
OTLS Testing: Website Calculator
Using the Excel (Statistical) Loss
sheet
Remember:
1. Ensure it is the current sheet
2. Insert a 1 for every ‘mated pair’ of
connectors
3. InstaPATCH requires a 1 for each
mated LC or SC/ST side of the panel
(front) and a 1 for the MPO side
(rear)
4. Do not count the connectors
Mandatory for site attached to the equipment
registration (VARs)
Note: The calculated loss will always be LESS then the sum of the individual component loss
