Comparative Analysis of Traditional Fiber Distribution Network Solutions and ANETFIBER 1FO FastNet Fiber Distribution Network Solutions

In the construction of fiber distribution networks, choosing the right solution not only affects the installation efficiency of the project, but is also crucial to cost control. This article will compare the traditional multi-fiber fiber distribution network solution and the ANETFIBER 1FO FastNet Fiber Distribution Network Solution in detail, show their respective characteristics and advantages, and help customers make wise decisions.

Traditional Multi-Fiber Distribution Network Solution

The installation process of traditional multi-fiber distribution network is relatively complicated, requiring multiple steps and a long time of labor. The specific process is as follows:

Moving heavy cable drums: This process usually takes 10 minutes. Due to the heavy weight of the cable drum, the moving process requires the use of special equipment or additional manpower.

Installing the optical cable: It takes 25 minutes to properly install the optical cable in the designated location. This step includes laying the optical cable on the mounting track to ensure that it is flat and undamaged.

Installing the optical cable clamp: It takes 10 minutes to install the optical cable clamp to ensure that the optical cable is firmly fixed throughout the installation process.

Fixing the optical cable: This step takes 20 minutes, and the main task is to firmly fix the optical cable to the mounting bracket or other fixing device to avoid displacement or damage of the optical cable during use.

Adjusting the optical cable: After the installation is completed, the final adjustment takes 10 minutes to ensure that the layout of the optical cable meets the design requirements and to make final inspections and adjustments.

Specifications and staffing:

Cable type: 12/24 FO

Cable weight: 140 kg/km

Cable length per group: 150 meters

Total working hours: 375 minutes for each group of cables

Number of workers: 5 workers are required

This method takes a long time to install and requires more workers and equipment, resulting in higher labor costs and lower installation efficiency.

ANETFIBER 1FO FastNet fiber distribution network solution

The ANETFIBER 1FO FastNet system is designed to simplify the installation process and improve work efficiency. The specific process is as follows:

Install the cable clamp and fix the cable on the A side: This process takes 10 minutes and mainly includes installing and fixing the cable clamp to ensure that the cable is stable on the A side.

Install the ANFHW505 FAT: This step takes 30 minutes. The ANFHW505 FAT is a key component in the system for efficient connection and distribution of optical fibers.

Installing cable clamps and fixing cables on side B: Similar to side A, this step also takes 10 minutes to complete the fixing of the cables.

Fiber cable loopback: This process takes 10 minutes to check the connection status of the optical fiber and ensure the integrity of the signal.

Specifications and staffing:

Cable type: 1 FO

Cable weight: 3.15 kg/pcs (150 meters)

Length of each cable group: 150 meters

Total working hours: 180 minutes for each cable group

Number of workers: 3 workers are required

The total installation time of the ANETFIBER 1FO FastNet system is 180 minutes. Because the solution simplifies multiple steps and uses lighter cables, its installation process is more efficient and the number of workers required is significantly reduced.

Key advantages comparison

Traditional multi-fiber optical fiber distribution network:

Time requirements: The total installation time is longer and the construction period is longer.

Labor intensity: Workers need to handle heavier cables, which is labor-intensive.

Cost: More workers and equipment are required, resulting in higher overall costs.

ANETFIBER 1FO FastNet Fiber Distribution Network:

Time requirements: Installation time is shortened and overall efficiency is improved.

Labor intensity: Using lighter optical cables reduces the need for physical labor.

Cost: Reducing the number of workers and installation steps significantly reduces overall costs.

The ANETFIBER 1FO FastNet fiber distribution network solution demonstrates clear advantages over traditional multi-fiber fiber distribution network solutions with its simplified installation process and efficient operation. Although the total installation time is slightly longer, the ANETFIBER system performs well in time and cost control by reducing the number of workers and simplifying the installation steps. Choosing the ANETFIBER solution can not only improve installation efficiency, but also significantly save labor and costs in long-term projects, bringing customers higher economic benefits and better service experience.
