FiberZone’s Automated Fiber Management (AFM) remotely managed
and fully automated connectivity solutions deliver breakthrough reductions
in the total cost of fiber network ownership. The foundation of AFM is FiberZone's patented
Latched Optical Coupling (LOC)TM technology, which enables the total control of the physical fiber infrastructure and delivers very rapid return on investment compared to today's manual optical distribution frames (ODFs) and patch panels.

 
AFM Benefits
 

FiberZone’s AFM platforms enable facility operators to:

·         Control and reconfigure optical connections and services rapidly, remotely, and automatically, thereby reducing high cost labor and enabling network operators to respond quickly to changes in demand.

·         Generate new revenue streams through on-demand and time-of-day provisioning.

·         Provision new customers in seconds, enabling immediate revenue generation.

·         Perform remote management, maintenance and troubleshooting, thereby ensuring fewer network outages, minimizing truck rolls and increasing quality of service.

·         Document all operations and identify fiber ports automatically, thereby minimizing human error.

  •  Minimize network downtime and reduce service level agreement  (SLA) penalties.


AFM Performance

FiberZone AFM is optimized for the requirements of fiber management, delivering on all of the key performance metrics:

  • High-Density Switching – Non-blocking connectivity of many hundreds of ports, scaling with optional clustering capability.
  • Superb Optical Performance – Very low optical insertion loss and return loss.
  • Reliable Connectivity – Latching mechanism to maintain connections and ensure the transmission of data without power or active components
  • Flexibility – Transparent to bit-rate and transmission protocol; compatible with single-mode  and multi-mode fiber
  • Reliable Operation – Utilizes highly reliable field-proven sub-components.
  • Carrier-Class System – Meets applicable Telcordia, ITU, and ETSI requirements.

The FiberZone AFM hardware is matched by sophisticated management systems and a suite of value-added modules.
