<title>OM4 Category Fiber Cable and Network Switch Compatibility</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28375977</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hello everyone,

Looking for someone with some fiber experience to answer this. I'd like to spec out an OM4 category fiber cable (50um). Will this category cable be compatible with an NTRON 708FX2 switch? The specs for the switch say it will take fiber that is 50um-62.5um. OM4 cable is supposed to be "laser optimized OM4, for laser-optimized 50um fiber having 4700 MHz*km EMB bandwidth designed for 10 Gb/s, 40 Gb/s, and 100 Gb/s transmission.". But the switch is Fast ethernet. Do I need to go up to a Gigabit switch? I'm looking to stick with OM4 so for future provisions. ]]></description>

<title>MDU ONT install</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28375580</link>
<description><![CDATA[Good day all, I am bringing fiber into a 36 unit condo HOA.  I have four 8 plexes and a single 4 plex.  I have been able to talk our local company (Utopia) down from a $44,000 install fee to $6,000.  They wanted to bring FTTB, to an external enclosure, provide 2 hardened six port Alcatel AP's, to feed internet to all the units.

In order to give homeowners the option of upgrading to IPTV or phone, I asked Utopia to price out a 24 port MDU ONT per building.  Since our provider (Veracity) uses cat 5 for internet, phone and TV.  They told me in order to do this it would skyrocket the price and made it sound as though thats not an option.

Is there a difference between ONTs for broadband only vs. triple play ability?  Would this dramatically increase the cost?  I would prefer to have 24 ports per building on one ONT vs 2 per building with only six ports.  I could use a much smaller enclosure too.  I just want residents to have the ability to fully utilize the service.

Thanks for the responses all.]]></description>

<title>I can&#x27;t understand what mean &#x26;amp;quot; Reflation-60 dB &#x26;amp;quot; (SCA)</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28366348</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hey

I would like to understand what is the typically guarantee a minimum reflectance of -60 (dB) in case i take a look in data sheet of connector SC/A

It mean that i will get a minimum light back from line back to Source? (only -61dB or less ) if yes it's kind of filter .
For example
lets say that i send -10 (dB) leaser power and i have a small air gap and reflation, it's meaning that i have less "light power" in the end of line and that's all, Am I right?

What happens if the transitive source will get the rarefaction?

Thanks!]]></description>
