Description

CONVERSION MODULE OF COPPER FIELD CABINS TO FIBER

OPTIC SYSTEM

Technical Field:

The present invention relates to the conversion module of copper field cabinets into fiber optic systems, which can be used to convert existing systems to fiber optic system in the telecommunications sector.

State of the Art:

Today, there are so many important and remarkable developments in the electronic communications industry. The unprecedented growth of audio, data and video communication leads, in turn, demand increase for more economical and larger capacity communication systems. This also leads to a technical revolution in the electronic communications industry. It is evident that economic communication systems that can respond to large capacities and provide high quality services are necessary.

The communication systems wherein light is used as information carrier due to its many advantages have attracted great interest recently. Therefore, researches are conducted in today's various leading development laboratories regarding the systems wherein glass or plastic fiber optic cables are used to "contain" a light wave, and to send this wave from a source to a destination. The communication

SUBSTITUTE SHEETS (RULE 26) systems carrying information through a guided fiber optic are named as fiber optic systems.

Fiber systems have a larger capacity because optical frequencies provide wider bandwidths in nature. In metallic cables, capacitance between the conductors and inductance across the conductors occurs. These features cause metallic cables to act like low-pass filters that limit bandwidths. Fiber optic systems are not affected by interference between cables caused by magnetic induction. Glass or plastic fibers are materials that do not conduct electricity, so fiber optic cables do not have a magnetic field created by current flow. In metallic cables, the main reason for interference is magnetic induction between conductors situated close to each other.

Fiber optic cables are more resistant to major changes in environmental conditions. They can operate in a wider temperature range than metallic cables. Likewise, fiber optic cables are less affected by corrosive liquids and gases. Fiber optic cables are easier and safer to install and maintain. Since glass and plastic fibers are not conductive, there is no danger caused by electric current when using fibers. Fibers can be used around volatile liquids and gases without posing any explosion and fire hazards. Fibers are smaller and lighter than metallic cables. So it is much easier to work with fiber optic cables. In addition, the fibers require less storage space and are very cheap to transport.

Due to these advantages of fiber optic systems, today's telecommunication infrastructure is replaced with fiber optic systems.

SUBSTITUTE SHEETS (RULE 26) Today, as the demand for telecommunications increases, fiber optic networks are increasingly being expanded in more areas. Cables management, ease of installation and ease of accessibility for subsequent management are important issues. Consequently, there is a need for fiber optic devices and methods that address the concerns including but not limited to those specified herein. Replacing the old infrastructure with fiber optic infrastructure is costly. Especially, replacement of data distribution cabinets brings great costs. In terms of dimensions, fiber optic cables need a larger space than copper cables, so there is a design difficulty for the module.

"Fiber optic adapter block" is described in the patent application TR201815296. A fiber optic adapter block has been described. The fiber optic adapter block includes at least three fiber optic adapters provided in a stacked arrangement extending transversely in a transverse direction, wherein each adapter of at least three fiber optic adapters is gradually aligned from front to back relative to an adjacent adapter such that the front ends of each other adapter of at least three fiber optic adapters are aligned at a first depth, and a front end of the adjacent adapter is placed at a second depth different from the first depth.

In the patent application TR201609994, "Fiber optic distribution cables and structures for them" is described. Fiber optic distribution cables and methods for their production are described. Fiber optic distribution cables exhibit one or more optical fibers outside the protective coating to distribute them towards the subscriber. In a fiber optic distribution cable, the length of the distributed optical fiber removed from the

SUBSTITUTE SHEETS (RULE 26) distribution cable and exhibited outside the protective coating is longer than the opening at the access location. In another embodiment, a limit point is provided for inhibiting the movement (i.e., pushing) of the distributed optical fiber into and out of the distribution cable. In another embodiment, an indexing tube is provided for indexing a connecting tube in the indexing tube to provide distributed optical fiber of suitable excess fiber length. Also, other embodiments may include a fiber optic distribution cable with a dry structure and / or non-round cross section.

In the patent applications described above, the blocks used in the distribution of fiber optic systems are described. In order to establish these systems, it is necessary to replace the cabinets used for the legacy telecommunication service as a whole and to install these systems. This method causes high costs. As a result, there is a need for a new technology with a harmonious design to existing telecommunication data distribution cabinets that can overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages, facilitating the conversion of the existing system to the fiber optic system, eliminating large transit costs, long life, safe, durable and low cost.
