DESIGN EXAMPLE OF ONE SECTOR To illustrate the use of the Corning Cabling Systems components, we refer to the design of one sector below:

Design of a one sector multi-carrier system Corning parts are used to represent the connection of the BU to the remote Fiber BDA. This can be done as follows: 1- By using two Pigtailed HW, one at the BU and the other at the fiber BDA. These two Pigtailed HW are connected with a fiber cable having 12 fiber strands as an example. The length of the cable is set to the length of the fiber cable that is connecting the BU to the fiber BDA unit. 2- By using one stubbed HW at the BU and a Pigtailed HW at the fiber BDA end. The Stubbed HW should be selected having cable length larger than the length of the cable connecting the BU with the fiber BDA unit. 3- Using the Plug & Play family; Two 12 fiber modules is used, one at the BU end and the other at the fiber BDA end. These modules are connected through a trunk cable having a length greater than the length of the cable connecting the BU with the fiber BDA. Housing is added with these parts at each end. 4- To simulate the connection of the BU to the corning part, one jumper is placed to represent this connection. The same is done for the fiber BDA end, where another jumper is placed.


DESIGN EXAMPLE OF ONE SECTOR

The below design illustrate the uses of one Stubbed & one Pigtailed HW.

The below design illustrate the uses of Plug & Play HW.


The fiber cable that is connecting the BU to the fiber BDA in the design is responsible for providing the link budget of carrying the signal from the BU to the fiber DBA. This fiber cable should be removed from the “Equipment List” report if necessarly. This is done by turning the “show In report” field in the cable properties from True to False. See the below screen for more info:


CORNING COMPONENTS – IBWAVE DATBASE

CORNING COMPONENTS – IBWAVE DATBASE Corning Cabling systems are classified under corning manufacturer for the following components in iBwave. 1- Cable parts: Composite, fiber and fixed length trunk cables. 2- Filter parts: All Pigtailed &Stubbed HW. 3- Misc: Jumpers and housing. To facilitate the search of a corning part in iBwave, the best method is to use the component browser. The part descriptions are classified in a way to help finding the part in question. Example for such descriptions is shown below. Drag the specified part from the list in the components browser and add it to the design plan.


The search can be narrowed by adding more info to the search field as shown below
