Microsens micro switches can be used to build local area network based on optical fiber, FTTO. The idea of the concept is to replace copper cabling with fiber optical cables. The fiber is brought from the frame switches to the Microsens micro switches close to the user, after which the terminals can be connected to the GbE ports of the micro switches, using standard RJ45 device cables.
The range includes PoE+/PoE++ models as well as models for horizontal and vertical installations. The micro switches can be installed in 45×45 electrical enclosures.
Benefits of the concept:
- Utilising fiber and micro switches saves a huge amount of cabling in buildings. In a 10-year life cycle analysis, the cost saving is around 30% compared to a conventional network.
- A fiber network is an investment for the future, with capacity to last well into the future as other technologies are upgraded
- Supports different network topologies and redundant network solutions
- Particularly suitable when upgrading or building a completely new office or factory network
