Plug and Play™ Universal System:
An Overview
• What is polarity management?
– Maintaining proper transmit-to-receiver continuity throughout a
system
• How does Plug and Play™ Universal System do it?
– Uses a patented wiring solution in the modules so that no matter
how many modules, harnesses, trunks or extender trunks are used
or where they are placed, fiber polarity is maintained
• Why is polarity management important?
– Improperly placed or installed polarity components can result in
system failure
– Planning for polarity components during design and installation adds
time and complexity
• Also adds complexity to inventory
– When the time comes for moves, changes and adds, polarity may
have to be reconfigured all over again
Polarity Basics – Transmit Goes to Receive
• Reverse Fibre Positioning –
– Fibres are terminated into the connector in a different order on each end
(Blue/Orange on one end and Orange/Blue on the other end)
– With this schematic, intention is to transmit top fibre to top fibre and bottom
fibre to bottom fibre (pair wise)
– Standard for jumpers
– Maintains transceiver continuity regardless of number of links

Plug and Play™ Universal System:
An Overview – Compatibility with Previous Product
•
Component-to-component, the Plug and Play™ Universal System and the
Plug and Play™ Classic System are not compatible
– Universal: Manages polarity in the module
– Classic: Manages polarity in the trunk
•
However, projects that have previously installed Classic can take
advantage of Universal for extensions to/adding a link
– This can be done via a cross connect
•
Plug and Play Universal System is our lead product and our standard Plug
and Play offering
– However, the Classic system will remain available (though it will not be
actively promoted or very visible)
•
New customers and existing customers with new projects should be
encouraged to use the Universal system
– Customers working on existing Classic installations will likely need to
continue with the Classic system
How is it different – UNIVERSAL WIRING Benefits
•
Two or more MTP trunks can be easily linked together. High fiber count trunks can be
routed to an intermediate distribution area where smaller fiber count trunks are
interconnected and distributed to zone, station or cabinet areas.
•
Provides a simple migration path between 2-fiber and parallel applications.
•
No special polarity components or polarity concerns during link configuration and reconfiguration
•
Modules and harnesses are wired the same to simplify system assembly. Module-tomodule, module-to-harness, or harness-to-harness all provide the same fiber paths.
•
Modular system enables fast and simple networking moves, changes and adds with
correct fiber polarity guaranteed
•
Avoids polarity problems caused by incorrect placement of fiber pair-wise flipped
modules or jumpers in the network.
•
System length is expandable by using Universal Extender Trunks without impacting
transmit/receive polarity

LOW LOSS – NEW POLISHING PROCESS
Fibers protrude 10 um evenly
above ferrule end face.
CCS patented process
MTP connectors have a low-loss option available.
The low-loss solution minimizes the db loss of a
module or a harness.
Typically, losses in the module or harness are
rated at a maximum of 1.3 db. With the low loss
module or harness losses will be reduced to a
maximum of 0.75 db.
This results in an enhanced performance module
or harness due to new precision components in
the connector. The polishing process of the fiber in
the ferrule of the connector gives you better
performance and allows better db performance
down to 0.75 db.

Low Loss is a SYSTEM
Plug & Play Systems utilizing Low Loss MTP are comprised of BOTH:
• A MTP to MTP LOW LOSS TRUNK with MTP connectors that have the new polishing process
• SC or LC Multimode Pretium 300 LOW LOSS Modules with MTP connectors that have the new
polishing process
The 10um fiber protrusion allows the two components to work together to provide a MTP to MTP
mating with a PHYSICAL CONTACT.

LOW LOSS – NEW POLISHING PROCESS
BENEFITS
• Low loss components become very important in high bandwidth communications protocols, where link loss
budgets are relatively low.
Example:
• Use de-rating tables to answer the following:
• Consider a 120 meter link running 10 GbE over laser Laser-Optimized 50/125 um-300 fiber, where
— Cable attenuation = 3.0 dB/km
— EMB = 2000 MHz-km.
• How many standard Plug & Play modules, each having 1.3 dB max loss, can be used in the link?
— Answer: 4 modules can be used. Max channel insertion loss will be (0.12 km x 3.0 dB/km) + (4 x 1.3 dB) = 5.56
dB.
• How many low loss Plug & Play modules, each having 0.75 dB max loss, can be used in the link?
— Answer: 7 modules can be used. Max channel insertion loss will be (0.12 km x 3.0 dB/km) + (7 x 0.75 dB) = 5.61
dB.
