Better Flexibility and Economics with Tellabs Optical LAN Multimode Fiber Option


The new Tellabs® FlexSym™ Singlemode to Multimode Splitters enable cost-effective re-use of existing multimode fiber cabling for Passive Optical LANs inside buildings and across a campus.

DALLAS, Sept. 10, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tellabs, the leading provider of Passive Optical LAN (POL) solutions, is introducing new Tellabs FlexSym singlemode fiber to multimode fiber 2x8 and 2x32 splitters. The Tellabs FlexSym splitters open-up existing multimode (MM) fiber deployments to the benefits of Tellabs Optical LAN (OLAN), saving the time and expense of replacing existing multimode fiber with singlemode (SM) fiber.

Both the Tellabs® FlexSym™ SM-MM 2x8 Splitter and Tellabs® FlexSym™ SM-MM 2x32 Splitter are built using technology from CAILabs, who are experts in the physics of photon transmission. This, combined with Tellabs’ POL leadership position and early pioneering of POL industry advancements led to the development of this innovative product line bringing increased efficiency to POL deployments in existing buildings and across a campus.

The Tellabs FlexSym Singlemode to Multimode Splitter solution offers greater flexibility for Optical LAN design and better economics for OLAN upgrades.

  • Enables Passive Optical LAN over existing multimode fiber
  • Supports OM1, OM2, OM3 and OM4 fiber cable types
  • Optional support for Type-B dual PON protection for optimal network resiliency
  • Use cases where multimode fiber cabling exists inside buildings in risers, horizontal and access drop portions of the enterprise LAN

We have both commercial and federal government customers that can now move forward with Passive Optical LAN retrofits because this singlemode to multimode splitter allows them to leverage existing multimode fiber cabling inside their building, which substantially lowers the total cost of their network upgrade,” said Jim Norrod, Tellabs President and CEO. “The net result is they cost-effectively update their network to Tellabs OLAN, which gives them better security, has software defined LAN functions today and stands ready to support 10G speeds when and where needed."

We will be showcasing the Tellabs FlexSym Singlemode to Multimode Splitter at BICSI Fall 2018 at Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas from September 9th through 13th. We invite you to visit our exhibitor booth #300 to see our new products first-hand.
