Passive Optical LAN (POLAN) Head Split

SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE

• Efficient upgrade path over multiple network generations leads to lower total cost of ownership

• Hedging architecture with the passive optical network (PON) riding alongside an Ethernet network in the same patch panel helps you convert from Ethernet to PON as markets and technology evolve

• Technology uses singlemode fiber, which futureproofs cabling infrastructure

• Rack-mount patch panels and cassette-style splitters allow for seamless integration of PON alongside your Ethernet network

FAST AND EASY INSTALLATION

• Proven, familiar and industry-standard structured cabling practices for passive optical LAN deployment lead to minimized need for rework and labor savings

• Disaggregate active and passive connections from the head split utilizing a patch panel with patch cords. Create a cross connect between upstream and downstream routings

REDUCE RISK

• Minimize risk of damage to expensive passive components to improve cost savings

• Cassette-style splitters and co-existence modules allow the use of patch cords instead of permanent harnesses; when a patch cord is damaged, it is replaced quickly and inexpensively as opposed to replacing an entire module

• Standard port and patch con configuration reduces risk related to damaging one cable and impacting multiple downstream drop locations

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

• Rapid deployment with off-the-shelf components allows for immediate deployment capability

• Multiple mounting scenarios for simpli ed BOM creation

• Use hedging architecture with PON riding alongside an Ethernet network in the same patch panel. Convert from Ethernet to PON as markets and technology evolve

• Belden’s modular approach to product design enables simple upgrades in the field to rapidly support technology evolution
