Optical Distribution Network
In the Spatial Engineer 11 overview of the Optical Distribution Network, the video showcases a simplified layout of the distribution network, highlighting three main components: the central office, the splitter cabinet, and the optical fiber terminal. Here is a summary of the key points covered in the video:
- Central Office Configuration:
- Optical patch panels can be configured within the central office setup.
- Components such as racks, shelves, and fibers are defined for organization and routing purposes.
- Splitter Cabinet Configuration:
- The splitter cabinet features splitters that facilitate the distribution of optical signals.
- Each splitter configuration includes inputs and outputs to handle signal splitting efficiently.
- Optical Fiber Terminal Setup:
- The optical fiber terminal functions as a splitter, with unique input and output configurations.
- Inputs from the splitter cabinet are split into multiple individual output fibers for various premises.
- Path Assignment:
- Through the Fiber Facility Status dialogue, paths can be assigned to specific premises served by the optical terminal.
- Assigning paths involves confirming the distribution route from the terminal through the splitter to designated endpoints.
- Future Configurations:
- Future videos will delve deeper into configuring optical patch panels, splitter cabinets, and fiber optic terminals for a comprehensive understanding of the network setup.
By modeling the Optical Distribution Network in Spatial Engineer 11, users can efficiently manage and configure the network components to ensure seamless signal distribution and connectivity across different premises.
