ODP 12 FO: compact fibre distribution solution

Telenco is making available to telecoms operators and their subcontractors a new version of its Eline® Outdoor PBO: the Optical Connection Point that enables 12 subscribers to be connected quickly and securely to very high-speed networks.

An FTTH connection solution tailored to the needs of telecom installers

Telenco is offering a new version of its Eline® Outdoor PBO, an optical connection point for connecting 12 subscribers quickly and securely to very high-speed networks.

To help telecoms operators and their subcontractors roll out FTTH networks in densely populated areas and meet their connectivity needs, Telenco networks is upgrading its range of drop cabling Optical Distribution Points. We have created a PBO (compact fibre distribution box) with 12 subscriber outlets, twice as many as the previous version. Thanks to this new Eline® Outdoor PBO, telecoms installers will be able to double their connection capacity, while reducing the number of optical boxes they need to install. The 12FO PBO therefore reduces both CAPEX and OPEX.

Double efficiency in the field thanks to a single optical box

In designing the new Eline® Outdoor PBO, the Telenco networks design office increased the connection capacity for subscriber cables without compromising on the performance already guaranteed by the previous version. As with the Eline® Outdoor 6FO PBO, the 12FO version meets the most demanding requirements in terms of:

Design and ergonomics

"These optical distribution boxes have a compact, neat and discreet design. They minimise the visual impact and enhance the value of the installation on a post or facade. What's more, these fibre-optic connection boxes offer ergonomic features: a generously-sized coiling area, fibre management via a dedicated cassette, coiling of the drop cable whip in a reserved area - these are just some of the practical solutions offered by Eline® Outdoor PBOs."

Easy to install and use

The Eline® Outdoor PBO has been developed to save field teams valuable time when installing or re-installing. This fibre-optic connection solution offers a system for preparing distribution cables outside the box. This gives telecoms installers greater freedom of movement, as the distribution cable can be anchored either high up or at ground level. What's more, a digital marking system and standardised colour identification make connection simple, quick and safe.

Securing networks

The Eline® Outdoor PBO is a secure optical connectivity solution. This box has a double locking system, as well as a lockable cover for the pre-terminated version. The risk of vandalism is minimised and access is restricted to authorised persons only. The Eline® PBO secures the distribution cable using a safe and effective anchoring system, and provides controlled clamping of drop cables thanks to a patented device. No components need to be removed to run drop cables: this reduces service intervention time and eliminates the risk of components being lost.

A wide range of outdoor Optical Distribution Points

"The new Eline® Outdoor 12FO PBO is part of a complete range of telecoms solutions for optical subscriber connections. In addition to PBOs, Telenco networks' offering includes complementary connectivity solutions such as Building Metering Points, Floor Distribution Boxes, Optical Telecommunications Outlets, fibre optic compact terminals and fibre optic cabling systems. Within the PBO family, there are many versions of this fibre optic box used to connect the operator's network to the subscriber's network. The Eline® Outdoor PBO is available in two capacities, two versions, and two different sizes. Each version of this external drop cabling box is designed for a specific network configuration and connection practice.
