Nexans launches “LANactive” Fibre-to-the-Office (FTTO) solution in UK

Nexans is pleased to announce the UK launch of a new alternative approach to office networking with the introduction of LANactive, a FTTO solution which uses passive fibre cabling and components together with locally distributed active micro-switches to provide Ethernet services via standard copper based RJ45 technology to the device.

The approach can provide significant cost savings and benefits in specific types of environment such as hospitals, universities and airports where:

· long transmission distances within the building are required
· space and/or cost restrictions limit the use of floor distributors
· cable containment has limited capacity
· refurbishment is required with minimum disruption
· redundancy at user level is required

All components including the active switches, cabling and connectivity are designed and manufactured by Nexans.

The switches themselves are manufactured by Nexans in Germany which has a 20 year history of supplying a broad customer base and includes universities, hospitals and public administration facilities where the solution has been proven to demonstrate consistent reliability over many years.
