Throughout the last twenty years the connection speeds for internet access have risen steadily due to the increase in computer power andsoftware complexity, higher resolution displays and a trend for displayingimages, audio and video.

The growing popularity of the existing services in combination with theintroduction of new services will also drive the bandwidth requirementsfurther in the future. The more information becomes available in digitalform, the more data must be made quickly accessible. Therefore, the development of new applications will exploit the improved functions ofthe network. Applications that require a bandwidth of more than 200 Mbit/s have already emerged.

The improved FTTH performance - in comparison to broadband services

that are provided primarily through copper networks - means several

obvious advantages for the consumer, both today and also in the future.

FTTH offers the fastest possible internet access, which applies both

downstream (from network to consumer) and upstream (from consumer

to network).

The following table shows the typical durations for the downloading and

uploading of images and videos using various different types of user

internet connection:

tÜ~í=Å~å=cáÄêÉ=íç=íÜÉ=eçãÉ=Çç\

`lkkb`qflkpI=`ovpq̂ i=`ib^o==== MO

This bandwidth for the various applications, such as Gigabit Ethernet, TV and Telephony, can only be provided with so-called FTTH networks, in which thefibre-optic cable runs all the way to the home.

IIn many countries the energy supply companies and municipal

operations such as public utilities play a decisive role. This is because

most often they have existing infrastructure and thus with new invest-

ment can ideally utilise the resultant synergies.

With the FTTH connection numerous economic, demographic and

socio-political benefits arise for municipalities - and many reference

projects confirm this.

Examples of such benefits are:

_ÉåÉÑáíë=Ñêçã=cáÄêÉ=íç=íÜÉ=eçãÉ

Boosting of economic growth and increased levels •of competitiveness for the business model of the municipality

Improvement in the capability of the municipality to attract•and retain new companies

Improvement in the general quality of life for the citizens•of the municipality through excellent communication facilities

Reduction of traffic jams and air pollution due to the •increased take-up of work-from-home schemes as wellas a reduction in patients travelling long distances.

PENGG KABEL GmbH is a traditional Austrian company with two production sites in Steiermark.

At the two sites, Kapfenberg-Einöd and Wartberg, the company produces and finishes

communications cable, railway cable and fibre optic cable as well as associated passive system

components.

PENGG KABEL GmbH is a member of the European FTTH council,

an association of companies with the objective of promoting FTTH

development further in Europe. Just as in the previous century

streets, motorways and the rail system formed the basis for growth

and prosperity in Europe, FTTH is taking on this role in the information

era and in a globalised world.

In order to monitor the quality of our products and services and to

constantly improve the processes, we implemented a quality manage-

ment system in accordance with EN ISO 9001 back in the mid-1990s.

Our QM system is certified by an accredited body and is accordingly

audited to ensure its functionality within the framework of annual

surveillance audits and three-yearly recertification audits. The results of

these audits are fed back into our quality management system by means

of a loop-back process, in order that our activities are constantly based

on an up-to-date management system.

Furthermore, various customers also conduct regular production monitoring and supplier audits

at our facilities. Countless approvals from renowned customers in the telecommunications sector

(such as A1 Telekom Austria, Tele Danmark, Swisscom, P&T Luxembourg, Belgacom, MATAV,

HT for example) and the fact that we enjoy long-term business relationships with many of our

customers, are guarantees of the enduring high quality of our products and services.

As a complete solutions provider in the field of implementing passive Fibre to the Home we are

available to you right from the 1st hour. The basis for this is our large and above all widespread

know-how, which we have built and secured over decades. So together with you we can

develop a concept tailored around you and your customers. The successful implementation is

then dependent on the logistical capability of the supplier. Because we have all of the FTTH

products employed in our product range - finely matched to one another - we are able to cover

this decisive factor completely.

Fibre optic cable

For direct laying in the ground we

have developed our extremely robust

A-DQ(BN)2Y feeder cable, which is

also protected from rodent attack.

Neither high lateral pressure nor

tensile loads will give this cable

difficulties.

The mini-cable with 144 fibres and just 8 mm external diameter offers the highest capacity in a

small physical size. Depending on the fibres employed minimal bend radii are possible. The mini-

cable was specially designed for a literally "frictionless" interaction with our micro-tubes. This

mini-cable is available will all fibre counts and with all types of fibres.

Our micro-cables for the distribution area have been developed for the distribution of data right

to the customer. 2 to 24 fibres in a central tube reduce the spatial requirements significantly once

again. These cables are likewise specially tailored to being used in our micro-tubes.

In order to ultimately be able to distribute the data in the apartments/buildings (also vertically)

our well-proven four-fibre in-house cable comes into play with its very small external diameter

(< 3 mm). It comprises 4 semi-loose, 0.6 mm thick full cores, and is ideally suited for installation

in existing building wiring due to strain relief elements.

On the following pages you will find brief descriptions of each item in our Fibre to the Home - solution. All of theseproducts meet our high quality standards and through the optimal interaction of these components the smoothfunctioning is guaranteed. Therefor we give the system guarantee of course.

MicrotubeOur high fibre mini-cables are blown

into micro-tubes with external/internal

diameters of 12/8 mm, in the so-called

feeder area. In the distribution area

through to the end-users we reduce the

tube diameter down to 7 mm and this

consequently saves a great deal of

space. The tubes are furnished with

special surfaces that guarantee the best

performance when blowing in the

cables. The interaction between cable

and tube has been optimised through

internal testing allowing us to give a

guarantee of frictionless laying.

On the following pages you will find brief descriptions of each item in our Fibre to the Home - solution. All of theseproducts meet our high quality standards and through the optimal interaction of these components the smoothfunctioning is guaranteed. Therefor we give the system guarantee of course.

Preassembled fibre optic cableOur own internal connector

assembling allows us to produce

the finished cables to be used,

such as pigtails, patch cables

and break-out cables in the

precise lengths required and the

exact number of fibres required.

This avoids the problems that

arise when using standard

products for such purposes.

Protective tube Our larger, high fibre cable in the

feeder area can also be additio-

nally protected from mechanical

stresses with protective conduits if

necessary. The protective conduits

employed are distinguished by a

high degree of pliability along with

being very easily shaped during

the laying process. Low cable

friction is guaranteed through an

internal glide layer.

Cable manhole For distribution points or connec-

ting points, which should remain

level with the surface, we offer

duct types for tight spaces and for

generous spaces. These ducts

protect the cable connections ide-

ally from wind and weather and

other mechanical conditions on

the one hand and yet allow them

to remain accessible at all times. In

this sensitive area we trust in the

well founded know-how of the

company Langmatz, who are one

of the market leaders in this field.

Outdoor cabinets If connections and branching in the

network are to be designed so as to be

as flexible and variable as possible then

the PENGG Street Cabinets are ideally

suited to this. With sufficient space for

splices and patch connections the

cabinet leaves no wish unfulfilled. Even

splitter solutions can be realised with

these cabinets. The integrated modules

are up to 100% compatible with those

from our OPDISYS system for the POP

area, which simplifies stock-keeping

and flexibility for you.

House feed-insThese house feed-ins were

specially developed for the sealing

of fibre-optic cables when being

fed in through house walls. They

are suitable for all types of walls

(DIN 1819T.4) as well as for

foundations made with water-

impermeable concrete. The

foaming process employed here

guarantees absolute sealing. Here

too we rely on Langmatz's many

years of experience in this field.

Fibre optic enclosuresFibre optic enclosures are used on the one

hand as a connecting element between

individual lengths of cable and on the other

hand as cable distributors. With this we

place all out trust in the products from the

Tyco Electronics, who enjoy the best of

reputations in this field.

The cable feed-in solution simultaneously

offers optimum protection against external

influences and also provides convenient

and user-friendly splicing in the sleeve.

OPDISYS®

Central Office As with most networks,

the centrepiece of our

FTTH concept is loca-

ted in the central control

unit. All data arrives

here and is distributed

here.

High capacity, low

spatial requirements,

simple handing - we

have addressed all of

these demands with our

OPDISYS®, whereby we

have implemented a

whole new concept.

Practical experience and

the desire for a more

user-friendly solution

were the driving forces

for the development

phase and the result is

impressive.

The construction of the OPDISYS® can be implemented flexibly in stages - depending on the application of various technologies in the feeder network the cabinet can be expanded and developed on a modular basis. The design of the individual patch/splice modules originated froma completely new idea and cannot be surpassed for user-friendliness. These modules can also beimplemented as splitter versions, or can also be incorporated into our street cabinets.

`lkkb`qflkpI=`ovpq̂ i=`ib^o==== NS

Optical wall outletsThe FTTH wall socket transfers the

data from the optical network to

converters or end devices that can

process optical signals. If desired

the wall outlets can be supplied

pre-equipped to the indoor cables,

delivered in a practical cardboard

reel.

Interconnect casesThe house connection

cabinets (HAK) form the

interface between the out-

side and the inside, directly

in the basement of the end

customer. In general we

employ single fibre

management here for maxi-

mum flexibility and security.

A one-stop-shop - we give you this

promise, and for that reason we can also

offer you comprehensive services in this

segment that encompass the following

areas:

Regardless of size...

Through the tailored planning on the one

hand and the optimum interaction

between the individual components on

the other hand - we are the right contact

partner for fibre-optic projects of all sizes.
