Huber+Suhner's new three-in-one splitter solution aims to improve GPON distribution network performance and save 30% of rack space by increasing fiber density.

The SFO splitter fan-out cable system designed in cooperation with the leading Swisscom company has changed the existing splitter program in the GPON distribution network. It combines three necessary components: jumpers, branch cables and splice boxes, all integrated in a multifunctional module.

By eliminating the need for separate splitter modules, customers can increase rack space and optimize their existing infrastructure and fiber to the home (FTTH) distribution. The ability of the SFO cable system to integrate into existing and future rack space makes it a growth investment, enabling network operators to effectively manage future connectivity needs.

The SFO cable system is designed for fixed access network customers who need to provide a compact and easy-to-install solution for GPON applications, connecting optical network terminal (OLT) ports to customer ports in optical main or auxiliary distribution frames. The core of the solution is an ultra-compact splitter module, where one or two inputs are divided into up to 32 single fiber outputs. If these modules are stacked together, up to 24 traditional single splitter boxes can be saved in a 300 mm deep power distribution rack. It is very suitable for optimizing or upgrading existing P2P infrastructure to xPON applications.

SFO can be implemented in a central distributor (data center), cable distributor or building distributor. Depending on the operating area, individual designs can be considered in advance, such as tags for splitter modules, connector variants, or devices with tag clips.
