NT1310: Week 5 Building a New Structure—Optical Networks

Page 1

You have been given a grant to make an existing building state of the art by running fiber throughout. In a

2-4 page paper, choose a building and then describe the following:

Necessary hardware, both inside and outside the building, to accommodate fiber

How is the plan impacted if you also want to run fiber from this building to other buildings on

campus as well?

What safety procedures will you need to follow while performing installations?

What new regulations and standards will you need to be aware of that didn’t apply when you were

only running copper?

Also, include in your paper discussions on whether you’re going to need FTTC, FTTB, FTTD,

FTTN, etc.

In one final paragraph, discuss how your installation would change if the building was already in

place versus if you were adding fiber from the beginning.
