VOICE, DATA & CATV (FIBER TO THE HOME-FTTH)

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.01 DESCRIPTION:

Next Generation Network (NGN) provides constant and virtually unlimited

internet bandwidth that runs on fiber optics. Its DSL speed doesn’t fluctuate
and always runs on maximum velocity.

Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) is a broadband telecom system that utilizes Fiber

Optic Cables (FOC) instead of the standard copper wires to deliver an
advanced array of services such as triple play telephone, broadband internet
and television to home and businesses.

Since it runs on a Passive Optical Network (PON), FTTH doesn’t require

installation of active components within building premises, unlike the
traditional NGN/AG which requires both AC and DC power. It carries high-
speed broadband services integrating voice, video and data reaching speeds
of up to 100 Mbps.

1.02 ENTRANCE CABLE:

The copper entrance cable facilities refer to PLDT’s traditional set-up utilizing
multi-pair cable entering the building, the size of which depends on the
building’s ultimate telecom requirements. One pair = One telephone line plus
DSL. Copper cable sizes vary from 10, 20, 40, 50, 70, 100, 150, 200, 300,
400, 500 to 600 pairs.

The copper entrance cable entering the building can either be:

• A direct feed cable from PLDT’s Central Office (C.O.) equipment. The
Equipment within the C.O. can either be “legacy” meaning old switches
or via NGN flatform, a relatively new technology; or
• Coming from a curb-side outdoor equipment cabinet or a cross-connect
cabinet. Similarly, these are just extensions from the C.O. and can
either be “legacy” or via NGN platform.

PART 2 – SCOPE OF WORK

PLDT will provide the FTTH free of charge from its outside plant facilities up to
the Cross Connect-Cabinet or Main Telephone Terminal Cabinet (MTTC)
located inside a TELCO room. PLDT will also provide the vertical fiber system
free of charge to each Telephone Terminal Cabinet (TTC) at every floor of the
building.

Page 25 of 26
 Electronics Specifications

The contractor provides the following requirements: entrance conduits,

manholes or service boxes (if underground), cross-connect point inside a rent-
free TELCO room, Telephone Terminal Cabinet (TTC) per floor, telephone
riser conduits, horizontal conduit and fiber cable systems from the TTC to
every unit.

Service access through the use of PLDT’s fiber platform has no need for
copper cables. The contractor shall wire the unit with single mode low friction
single fiber cable within the unit ---LAN cables (CAT-5e) for the Optical
Network Unit (ONU) or fiber modem terminating to the telephone apparatus,
PC and Cignal TV set top box (STB).

PLDT shall provide and install the ONU and Cignal’s STB upon subscription
of the unit owner to the service and bundle, respectively. The ONU will be for
the voice and data services, while a separate Cignal STB will be for the Cignal
TV service. However, for stand-alone Cignal subscriptions, Cignal shall
handle the installation and provision of the STB.

PART 3– HORIZONTAL FIBER CABLE (FROM TTC TO EVERY UNIT)

To be used are low friction indoor cables with the following specifications:

3.01 Cable diameter: Approximately 2.0 X 1.6 mm

3.02 Strength Member: Aramid yarn or equivalent; Metallic material is not
allowed
3.03 Flame retardant and UV protected jacket
3.04 None Jelly-filled
3.05 Single mode
3.06 ITU-G.657.a2-compliant fiber
3.07 Permissible tensile strength: ≥80N
3.08 Cutting Length: 1,000 meter/reel
3.09 Can be installed in congested conduits using push or pull method
3.10 Can be submerged in conduit, manhole, handhole and service box
3.11 Each length of cable shall be permanently marked to identify the
manufacturer, Month and year Manufacture, Type, the phrase “FIBER
OPTIC CABLE” and Length of Markings
