THE FIBER TO THE OFFICE CONCEPT THE NETWORK MANAGEMENT PLATFORM THE POWER SUPPLY CONCEPT

Dear Readers, We are pleased that the publication of this brochure gives us the opportunity to introduce you to the many benefits of the wellproven Fiber To The Office concept. Increasing demand concerning reach and throughput changed the way CIOs and IT-administrators thought about their local area network. In the past, the LAN was accepted as a means to an end, but today companies are beginning to see it as a fundamental part of the whole. Futurereadiness and accompanying energy and life cycle costs are becoming more and more important, parameters that the MICROSENS FTTO concept has optimized...

FIBER TO THE OFFICE (FTTO) future-proof, energy-efficient, economical FTTO is a cost effective cabling infrastructure for modern office environments that combines the benefits of fiber optic and copper based technologies.

Fiber To The Office (FTTO) is a standard compliant and decentralised cabling concept for modern office environments. It combines the advantages of highly efficient fiber optic technology with the flexibility of twisted pair cabling. In contrast to the established structured cabling network (SCN), FTTO additionally employs future-proof fiber optic cables for riser cabling and horizontal wiring. Copper cabling only comes to play to connect terminal equipment like workstations, VoIP-Phones or IP-cameras. As a result, the MICROSENS FTTO switches offer rich power management functions like Power-over-Ethernet...

Planning future-oriented networks with Fiber To The Office Structured Cabling Network (SCN) The use of copper wiring for the horizontal cabling of a network holds a number of technical drawbacks, which have unfavourable effects to the building structure and the reliability of the network. Structured Cabling Networks need appropriate equipment rooms or distribution units with active network equipment on the floor level that serve as nodes used for the integration of workstations into the network. This has a negative impact on energy efficiency leading to increased fire load through cable bundles,...

Fiber To The Office collapsed backbone architecture FTTO uses standard compliant collapsed backbone architecture that employs fiber optic wiring for the horizontal cabling on the floor levels. requires high bandwidth and low latency to ensure a positive user experience. Because of the collapsed backbone architecture, Fiber To The Office delivers more effective bandwidth to the user than a commonly used star-shaped network, allowing an highly efficient working environment. The technical advantages of fiber optic technology, like extended network reach and immunity to electromagnetic interference,...

FTTO installation scenarios Seamless integration into modern office environments FTTO-INSTALLATION SCENARIOS A high-performance networking infrastructure has become as important to a modern office environment as high-quality interiors and a high-class location. Fiber To The Office adds long-term value to commercial office space by providing one of the most important foundations of modern work environments: a high-performance and reliable network infrastructure. Desktop installation with media pillar

High-class look in state-of-the-art design The high-class surfaces and materials of the MICROSENS Micro Switches integrate seamlessly into the design of modern office environment. The switches offer an easy accessible port adjustment and can be mounted quickly and comfortably due to the optimized housing base. When designing the housing, loose parts and screw connections were waived intentionally in order to hinder burglary and vandalism in public areas. The new design concept accommodates the layout of modern office requirements and is available in the housing colours white, aluminium and anthracite....

NETWORK MANAGEMENT MICROSENS Network Management Platform (NMP) Easy administration of Fiber To The Office networks Decentralized structures do not automatically involve higher expenses for maintenance and management of a network. The MICROSENS central management solution for FTTO networks „NMP“ provides active support to administrators and IT-professionals. The functions of the software help in daily maintenance and administration tasks and create ideal conditions for an efficient implementation of IT-work processes.

Cost-effective IT-management In addition to key figures such as system availability, recovery time, and energy efficiency, the service orientation within IT-management receives growing importance. However, the balance between service quality and personnel costs requires efficient operations and powerful tools to help administrators in their daily work. Therefore, MICROSENS provides its customers with reliable hardware solutions and the right software tools for easy integration. With the NMP-solution, network hardware and software constitute a perfectly balanced total solution that ensures high...
