Mini-OLT Light ODN (MiLO) Installation

Utilizing 6-core Fiber Drop Cable

Broaden your Future

Introduction
Mini-OLT–ODN (or Quick ODN Solution) installation is an FTTH
construction wherein a 6-Core Fiber Drop Cable shall be used from the
Point of Insertion (POI) to the Network Access Points (NAP), instead of
the conventional Fiber Optic Cable (72 core).
All other components remain as is, though a hybrid type splicing
closure will be used in the POI and that Local Convergence Point (LCP)
splitters will be spliced and installed inside the first NAP box, doing away
with a LCP closure.

General Application Guidelines
• Cable Handing Precautions
All cables are as sensitive to damage caused during handling and installation. This will reduce the performance of the cable and may even
need to be replaced. To avoid damage to the fiber optic cable, follow the precautions that should be noted during handling and installation.

• Maximum Allowable Tension

This cable tension load is usually listed on the cable’s specification sheet, when do the installation, we can pull the cable with messenger
under this load.

• Minimum Bend Radius

Excessive bending can damage the fiber inside the cable, which will reduce the performance of the cable and even need to be replaced. The
allowable minimum bend radius will be given on the cable’s specification sheet.

• Fiber Drop Cable will be installed and spliced from the allocated FOC Closure to the LCP/NAP and passing thru to every dedicated NAP.

• Size of Fiber drop cable: allowed to use is 6core on the capacity requirement. Use the type approved fiber drop cable.

• Maximum Distance of allowed installation ideally limited to 1km.

• Utilized Existing GT Messenger Wire.

(With JPA) using Mid Span-Clamp for much firm attachment of P-Clamp supporting the ruggedized Drop cable.

33
General Application Guidelines
• For pole to pole attachments - always use two (2) span clamps when attaching to messenger wire. The two (2) span clamps should be in
between the center of the pole. The span clamps should be at least twenty (20) inches apart and with 6 inches looping (see below
picture).
Note: Use the specified reflective stickers when attaching to every non-Globe poles (i.e. Meralco and other poles with Joint
Pole Agreement/JPA and approved Request to Attached/RTA). Use 1”x 1” size sticker (2 yellow and 1 green color sticker) with 1” spacing.

• For extended facilities without JPA, utilize foreign existing 6M strand for drop cable Mid-Span Clamp installation.

• For extended facilities without JPA and without foreign strand, use pole clamp DEG with hooks or Stainless Steel Strap with hoop-
fastening retractor.

• Avoid sagging, bending should have minimum bending radius of 30mm or twisting that will produce macro bend on the fiber drop cable.

34
General Application Guidelines
• Eliminate Fiber Drop Cable Sagging on Long Span.

For span length exceeding 50 meters (164 ft.) – additional Span clamp (in the center) must be used between pole spans to
support the Fiber drop cable.

For span length exceeding 100 meters (328 ft.) – The spacing interval of span length shall be divided into three (3) to support
the Fiber drop cable.

• No major road crossing / diagonal crossing installation.
