The multi-dwelling unit (MDU) environment offers a significant challenge to the network provider. Ranging from older existing buildings to new constructed facilities, the cabling strategy can vary greatly. The new V-Linx™ Spool & Play Solution introduced by Lightera is designed to address the varying conditions in MDU infrastructure. Uniquely designed for dense, multi-floor units, the V-Linx Solution provides components that can be configured flexibly to address the profusion of cabling conditions within both Greenfield and Brownfield environments.
The deployment of the V-Linx Solution can significantly speed installation and requires less labor to install the backbone by using our short length spool-and-play technology. A simple set of spool-and-play hardware allows a small service team of one or two people to install the entry distribution cabinet, route a few factory-built riser assemblies, and plug drop boxes to the riser quickly and efficiently into the MDU. The system is designed to minimize multiple long-run riser installations and eliminate splice time. These hubs are designed to enable small crews to deploy entire systems in hours versus traditional large crews taking days.
