Defining the target Use Case
At suburbs or rural areas a pretty popular living form is to have a private house on your own (or rented) land. The house owners usually value good service also on their broadband networks being lucrative segment to approach by fibre to the home builders, especially when the population density or distances between users are not that well supported by wireless connectivity.
The microducted approach has been widely adopted for the last mile build strategy giving flexibility on the full network build and connecting end customers. This is especially the case in suburbs when connecting private houses to fibre networks as you want to distinguish the core network build from the build happening on customer premise or land.
You would like to be able to complete the network cable installation at single time when you have the team at site, so it makes sense to prepare the house demarcation point with microducts beforehand and simply blow or push the cables in place later at the same time with the core network build. Connecting the end customer can then be done separately and easily at a convenient time later.
Detailed Solution Requirements to achieve the Use Case
The solution should satisfy the need for an efficient private house demarcation point or premise entry enclosure. It is important that this interface can support all of the use case and installation requirements along with the physical elements of the fibre network. This could be done by conforming to all latest fibre installation techniques and adhere to best practices & industry requirements for fibre management and splicing. You would also value the enclosure being small, neat and aesthetically pleasing and fit for outdoor use in above ground installations.
For this specific use case you should make sure you can use it in microduct installations and that it support at least 1 adapter position for customer connections and splice only option as required by the fibre network build and provide sufficient entry points around the solution for different cable entries including directly through the back and through a premise wall. You should also make sure the design allows fixing to typical premise wall structures without damaging their surface.
The TEN-FWO8EB has been designed to meet these requirements in a smart and clean enclosure product.
