tÜ~í=Å~å=cáÄêÉ=íç=íÜÉ=eçãÉ=Çç\ Throughout the last twenty years the connection speeds for internet access have risen steadily due to the increase in computer power and software complexity, higher resolution displays and a trend for displaying images, audio and video. The growing popularity of the existing services in combination with the introduction of new services will also drive the bandwidth requirements further in the future. The more information becomes available in digital form, the more data must be made quickly accessible. Therefore, the development of new applications will exploit the improved functions of the network. Applications that require a bandwidth of more than 200 Mbit/s have already emerged.

This bandwidth for the various applications, such as Gigabit Ethernet, TV and Telephony, can only be provided with so-called FTTH networks, in which the fibre-optic cable runs all the way to the home. The improved FTTH performance - in comparison to broadband services that are provided primarily through copper networks - means several obvious advantages for the consumer, both today and also in the future. FTTH offers the fastest possible internet access, which applies both downstream (from network to consumer) and upstream (from consumer to network). The following table shows the typical durations for the downloading and uploading of images and videos using various different types of user internet connection:

_ÉåÉÑáíë=Ñêçã=cáÄêÉ=íç=íÜÉ=eçãÉ IIn many countries the energy supply companies and municipal operations such as public utilities play a decisive role. This is because most often they have existing infrastructure and thus with new investment can ideally utilise the resultant synergies. With the FTTH connection numerous economic, demographic and socio-political benefits arise for municipalities - and many reference projects confirm this. Examples of such benefits are:

• Boosting of economic growth and increased levels of competitiveness for the business model of the municipality • Improvement in the capability of the municipality to attract and retain new companies • Improvement in the general quality of life for the citizens of the municipality through excellent communication facilities • Reduction of traffic jams and air pollution due to the increased take-up of work-from-home schemes as well as a reduction in patients travelling long distances. • Increased efficiency with the provision of public services including education and healthcare

PENGG KABEL GmbH is a traditional Austrian company with two production sites in Steiermark.

At the two sites, Kapfenberg-Einöd and Wartberg, the company produces and finishes communications cable, railway cable and fibre optic cable as well as associated passive system components.

In order to monitor the quality of our products and services and to constantly improve the processes, we implemented a quality management system in accordance with EN ISO 9001 back in the mid-1990s. Our QM system is certified by an accredited body and is accordingly audited to ensure its functionality within the framework of annual surveillance audits and three-yearly recertification audits. The results of these audits are fed back into our quality management system by means of a loop-back process, in order that our activities are constantly based on an up-to-date management system. Furthermore, various customers also conduct regular production monitoring and supplier audits at our facilities. Countless approvals from renowned customers in the telecommunications sector (such as A1 Telekom Austria, Tele Danmark, Swisscom, P&T Luxembourg, Belgacom, MATAV, HT for example) and the fact that we enjoy long-term business relationships with many of our customers, are guarantees of the enduring high quality of our products and services.

PENGG KABEL GmbH is a member of the European FTTH council, an association of companies with the objective of promoting FTTH development further in Europe. Just as in the previous century streets, motorways and the rail system formed the basis for growth and prosperity in Europe, FTTH is taking on this role in the information era and in a globalised world.

As a complete solutions provider in the field of implementing passive Fibre to the Home we are available to you right from the 1st hour. The basis for this is our large and above all widespread know-how, which we have built and secured over decades. So together with you we can develop a concept tailored around you and your customers. The successful implementation is then dependent on the logistical capability of the supplier. Because we have all of the FTTH products employed in our product range - finely matched to one another - we are able to cover this decisive factor completely.

Fibre optic cable

For direct laying in the ground we have developed our extremely robust A-DQ(BN)2Y feeder cable, which is also protected from rodent attack. Neither high lateral pressure nor tensile loads will give this cable difficulties. The mini-cable with 144 fibres and just 8 mm external diameter offers the highest capacity in a small physical size. Depending on the fibres employed minimal bend radii are possible. The minicable was specially designed for a literally "frictionless" interaction with our micro-tubes. This mini-cable is available will all fibre counts and with all types of fibres.

Our micro-cables for the distribution area have been developed for the distribution of data right to the customer. 2 to 24 fibres in a central tube reduce the spatial requirements significantly once again. These cables are likewise specially tailored to being used in our micro-tubes. In order to ultimately be able to distribute the data in the apartments/buildings (also vertically) our well-proven four-fibre in-house cable comes into play with its very small external diameter (< 3 mm). It comprises 4 semi-loose, 0.6 mm thick full cores, and is ideally suited for installation in existing building wiring due to strain relief elements.

Preassembled fibre optic cable

Our own internal connector assembling allows us to produce the finished cables to be used, such as pigtails, patch cables and break-out cables in the precise lengths required and the exact number of fibres required. This avoids the problems that arise when using standard products for such purposes.

Microtube

Our high fibre mini-cables are blown into micro-tubes with external/internal diameters of 12/8 mm, in the so-called feeder area. In the distribution area through to the end-users we reduce the tube diameter down to 7 mm and this consequently saves a great deal of space. The tubes are furnished with special surfaces that guarantee the best performance when blowing in the cables. The interaction between cable and tube has been optimised through internal testing allowing us to give a guarantee of frictionless laying. `lkkb`qflkpI=`ovpq^i=`ib^o==== NM sbo_fkarkdbkI=afb=e^iqbk======MS

Protective tube

Our larger, high fibre cable in the feeder area can also be additionally protected from mechanical stresses with protective conduits if necessary. The protective conduits employed are distinguished by a high degree of pliability along with being very easily shaped during the laying process. Low cable friction is guaranteed through an internal glide layer.

Cable manhole

For distribution points or connecting points, which should remain level with the surface, we offer duct types for tight spaces and for generous spaces. These ducts protect the cable connections ideally from wind and weather and other mechanical conditions on the one hand and yet allow them to remain accessible at all times. In this sensitive area we trust in the well founded know-how of the company Langmatz, who are one of the market leaders in this field.

House feed-ins

These house feed-ins were specially developed for the sealing of fibre-optic cables when being fed in through house walls. They are suitable for all types of walls (DIN 1819T.4) as well as for foundations made with waterimpermeable concrete. The foaming process employed here guarantees absolute sealing. Here too we rely on Langmatz's many years of experience in this field.

Outdoor cabinets

If connections and branching in the network are to be designed so as to be as flexible and variable as possible then the PENGG Street Cabinets are ideally suited to this. With sufficient space for splices and patch connections the cabinet leaves no wish unfulfilled. Even splitter solutions can be realised with these cabinets. The integrated modules are up to 100% compatible with those from our OPDISYS system for the POP area, which simplifies stock-keeping and flexibility for you.

Fibre optic enclosures

Fibre optic enclosures are used on the one hand as a connecting element between individual lengths of cable and on the other hand as cable distributors. With this we place all out trust in the products from the Tyco Electronics, who enjoy the best of reputations in this field. The cable feed-in solution simultaneously offers optimum protection against external influences and also provides convenient and user-friendly splicing in the sleeve.

OPDISYS Central Office

®

As with most networks,

the centrepiece of our

FTTH concept is loca-

ted in the central control

unit. All data arrives

here and is distributed

here.

High capacity, low spatial requirements, simple handing - we have addressed all of these demands with our OPDISYS ®, whereby we have implemented a whole new concept. Practical experience and the desire for a more user-friendly solution were the driving forces for the development phase and the result is impressive. The construction of the OPDISYS® can be implemented flexibly in stages - depending on the application of various technologies in the feeder network the cabinet can be expanded and developed on a modular basis. The design of the individual patch/splice modules originated from a completely new idea and cannot be surpassed for user-friendliness. These modules can also be implemented as splitter versions, or can also be incorporated into our street cabinets.

Interconnect cases

The house connection cabinets (HAK) form the interface between the outside and the inside, directly in the basement of the end customer. In general we employ single fibre management here for maximum flexibility and security.

Optical wall outlets

The FTTH wall socket transfers the data from the optical network to converters or end devices that can process optical signals. If desired the wall outlets can be supplied pre-equipped to the indoor cables, delivered in a practical cardboard reel.
