What is all the FTTx acronyms?
Fiber is the future!!!!!
• FTTH: fiber to the home
• FTTB : fiber to the Business
• FTTP: fiber to the premises
• FTTC: fiber to the curb
• FTTN: Fiber to the node
• FTTx: for those who can’t
decide what to call it or are
referring to all varieties!

Telkom FTTC/FTTH/FTTB
• FTTC existing in Telkom for years – UMC, DCS’s,
OFDC etc.
• NGNEC started in 2012/13 with remote MSAN’s
at top 2420 SDC’s & replacement of UMC’s &
replacement of exchanges.
• FTTH POC & FOA In progress, product to be
launched middle March 2014
• FTTB product to be launched Sept 2014
• In future all NGNEC projects and new greenfield
projects – FTTH will be first choice.

Telkom FTTH/B Architecture
Advantages of FTTH
•Future Proof Network - Fibre Ultimate
Medium
•New Network- Save on maintenance cost
•Copper Theft – No copper anymore
•Lightning strikes – Non metal
•Longer Loop lengths - allows for different
network topology.
•No remote power & wayleave issues.
•More secure & reliable network – In
exchange connected to generator
Disadvantages of FTTH
• Huge demand on BB fibres
• ME Node footprint needs to
be extended - Not possible
to plan the access network in
isolation.
• Additional Fibre Skills
needed, Field services staff
to be retrained
Fibre Length calculations
Field example use to test loses
Planning starting from the Customer
site, and worked back to the exchange
• Diagram for clarification on next slide
• For each premises, or for multiple business on a single
premises, a fibre is planned
• This is the Homes/Business Passed (HP) principle
• For these fibres/premises a splitter connection will be
planned
• Due to Telkom not having 100% market share, not all will
be connected which will leave spares for growth
• The aim is to plan the network as future proof as
possible.
Example to explain the principles
HP = 25 Working voice/DSL service = 30
HC = 16 3 x Bus 3 companies or Businesses
Thus excluding the office block =
Not Telkom customer = 9 15 Businesses, 1 x fibre per business

FTTH Equipment
• OLT – GPON Msan in exchange
• Splitter 1:4 in exchange.
• Micro ducts/ Micro fibre
• Fist – 144 + 1:32 Splitter – In manhole
• Flat Fist – 72 + 1:32 Splitter – 800 X 800
• Slim Box – 24F + 1:32 Splitter – Overhead
• Hellermann Closure 12 FibresPlace splitters in existing
manholes close as possible to the customers (600 X 600)_
• SLVG cable lock – Seal between Hellermann box & drop
fibre
• ATB & ONT (Customer premises)
Planning Scenario 1
Residential Midblock & UG Schemes
• 24 Units/stands per splitter
• Overhaul with existing copper network
• Place splitters in existing manholes close as
possible to the customers
• Minimum size of manholes/Pits to
accommodate FIST – (1.2 X 1.2m)
• Minimize trenching
Scenario 1 Schematic
Planning Scenario 2
Multi Dwelling Units (MDU)/Shopping Centres
Manhole outside the Complex (no node room)
• Minimum size of manholes to accommodate
Flat FIST – (800mm x800mm)
• Overhaul with existing copper network
• Place splitters in existing manhole feeding the
complex
• Investigate if existing copper pipes can
accommodate new micro ducts
• Minimize trenching
Planning Scenario 3
Office Blocks/Shopping Malls
with Telkom node Room
• Investigate MSAN/FTTH viability
• Investigate RFO requirements and reticulation to
customers from the Telkom Room
• Place splitters in Telkom Room or local boxes
• Amount of splitters depend on working
lines/demand
• Investigate if existing copper pipes can
accommodate new micro ducts
• Minimize trenching
Micro ducts and jointing pits
• Bundled ducts can be deployed directly
without using 110mm outer ducts
• Combination of micro ducts can be used
• 7-way 8/5 mm duct – 5x2 fibre drop cables
• 4-way 12/10 mm duct in same trench for
feeder cables to splitters further down the
road
Cable Terminology
• Feeder cables between OLT and Splitter
• Distribution cables between splitter and drop
cables vary between 12, 24 and 48 fibre
cables
• Drop cables to customer premises - 3.4 mm in
diameter, 2-fibre monotube micro cable
Joint Closures
• All joints must be Gen2 (Generation 2)
• It use gel seals
• Slim box – mainly overhead, possible indoor
application to be investigated
• Hellerman – maximum 12 termination (10
clients) order additional cable locks.
FLAT FIST Closure
• Recommended that 4 splice cassettes be
used to splice 32 outputs of the 1:32 splitter
• Configuration of 8 fibres per splice cassette
• Can accommodate 16 splice cassettes which
means 3 x 1:32 splitters
Flat FIST Closure
Cassette Use of cassette
position
1 12-fibre feeder cable to be spliced to the input of the splitter
2 To accommodate the first splitter
3 to 6 To splice the 32 outputs of the first splitter to distribution/drop cables
7 To accommodate the second splitter
8 to 11 To splice the 32 outputs of the second splitter to distribution/drop cables
12 To Accommodate the third splitter
13 to 16 To splice the 32 outputs of the second splitter to distribution/drop cables

All packaged to fit in FIST and Flat FIST
Split Ratios versus Bandwidth
FTTH House Installation
• 90% of deploying issues sits in the last 5% of the
network (UG pipes to houses/ Access to
midblocks)
• House installation documentation to be finilised.
• Fibre - ATB/ONT must be preferable at the
customers study. (existing modem)
• NIP/DAS to finalise future installation of ATB/ONT
• House WiFi network a problem at houses with
more than 1 floor.
• Can be dependant on RFO from home owner
2014/15 NGNEC FTTH Programme
Optical Line Terminal (OLT)
• Physical capacity to connect 4096 customers if
1:32 way splitters used
• Physical capacity to connect 163846 customers
if 2 stage 1:32 and 1x4 way splitters are used.
• 1 shelf per rack x 16 Cards per shelf x 8ports
per card x 32 customers per port
• Only to be used inside an exchange
