Cascaded - Indexing Architecture
Fiber Indexing is a flexible plug-and-play network solution which can be adapted to work with both Centralized and Cascaded topologies. Within this analysis, we are leveraging Indexing in a cascaded configuration.
Fiber indexing leverages pre-terminated network elements that allow networks to be built by simply plugging network elements together, significantly reducing installation time and splicing requirements
Pros
- Pre-terminated "Plug-and-play' Network Build
- Low Installation Skills Required
- CAPEX Offset Capable
- Fast To Deploy
Cons
- Increased Optical Loss, Which Limits Deployment Distance
- PTP Must Be Allocated on Day One
- High Number of SKU's Required
- Excess Cable Length To Be Stored
