EXHIBIT FLOOR PROGRAMS 12:30 p.m.–1:30 p.m. – by ADC Deploying Reduced Bend Radius Fiber in MDUs As reduced bend radius ﬁber ﬁnds its way into more MDUs, factors such as easy connector access and simple routing paths will become even more critical for network reconﬁgurations, troubleshooting and maintenance. We will discuss how to deploy this critical ﬁber in the most efﬁcient and optimum ways. Reduced bend radius ﬁber is just one aspect of a complete strategy for efﬁcient, future-proofed network management for MDUs. 2:00 p.m.–3:00 p.m. – by Agilent Technologies Fiber Characterization Do you design, install or maintain networks at 10Gbps and higher? To achieve reliable turn up performance, complete and accurate ﬁber characterization is necessary. At high speeds, values and limits beyond those of ﬁber attenuation (loss) such as chromatic dispersion, polarization mode dispersion and reﬂectance must be measured. We will discuss the key characterization measurements necessary for certifying ﬁber for operation at 10 and 40G. 3:30 p.m.–4:30 p.m. – by Sumitomo Electric Lightwave Emerging Fiber Termination Solutions for FTTx As providers seek to lower the cost of FTTH and FTTP deployments, while increasing errorfree productivity and speed, there is a growing focus on new innovations for ﬁeld terminations throughout the FTTx network. New termination methods, such a splice-on connectors, assist in reducing operational and installation costs, thereby providing service providers quick customer turn-up and speed to revenue. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28 11:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. – by The Light Brigade, Inc. Emergency Restoration Demonstration (same as Wednesday’s presentation) 12:30 p.m.–1:30 p.m. – by PROMET International Fiber-Optic Connector 3D Metrology We will explain the importance of measuring ﬁber-optic connector endface 3D metrology for intermateability and system optimization with FiBO true phase-shifting Michelson interferometers for repeatable and reproducible (user-independent) radius of curvature, ﬁber height and apex offset measurements. See what you’ve been missing! 2:00 p.m.–3:00 p.m. – by ADC Multiple Solutions for Connecting MDUs FTTP networks increasingly include MDUs as part of the network build and MDU structures may account for more than one-third of the target subscriber base. These installations require special consideration for ﬁber cable interconnection to terminal equipment, as well as an understanding of the diverse structures and conditions found throughout the country. This presentation discusses the special considerations that MDU installations require. 14 OFCNFOEC 2008
