Fiber To The Home Building- Smart Home Installations- Smart Home Panels

American Tech Supply has provided the following pictorial on how the final segment on a fiber to the home project is completed. When fiber to the home materials are laid from the central office to the development, the purpose is to eventually install fiber optic cable right to the entrance of a home. Inside the home, the cable you will see is a multi-media coax, fiber and CAT 5e cable. The cable consists of (2) RG 6 coax cables, (2) multimode fiber cables, (3) (2) CAT 5e cables- all in one sheath. As a home builder or developer, this cable should be considered as an option as it offers a homeowner the ability to choose either dial up, DSL, T-1- broadband, Cable TV, Satellite, data LAN connections, Security, Entertainment and of course fiber to the desktop. American Tech Supply also wants to thank ATEK Communications for providing these photos describing in detail how a fiber to the home project is completed and a smart home is created from the inside out.

The Fiber To The Home- FTTH concept has become a reality and after years of successful fiber to the home installations, fiber to the home field trials & technological advances so the concept of installing "Fiber Optic Cable To The Home" is becoming a reality. Many successful installations prove fiber optics can deliver bundled or individual data, voice and video circuits more efficiently to the home by using a fiber optic cable- "than any other medium". Fiber Optic Cable is able to deliver a mulititude of data, voice and video services to the home more efficiently-and securely-versus traditional copper transport mediums. We are all aware of slow dial-up frustrations, DSL outages, and coax cable issues (Broadband-Cable TV). Once fiber optics are deployed- as an end to end solution- all these inherent problems associated with copper /coax based transport factilities virtually disappear.

Stage At Which Smart Home Cable Needs To Be Installed-Just After Studs Are Put Up But Before Sheet Rock Is Installed	Smart Home Cable- In this photo ATEK is installing Commscope's (2) CAT5e, (2) RG 6 and (2) Multimode Fiber Optic Cable-Cable is rolled off 500 Foot Spools on Job-site	ATEK Supervisor carefully monitors installation of Smart Home Cable throughout the job
First Option Is To Pull Multiple Runs Of CAT 5E and Coax RG 6 Cable Thru Studs-Separately- This is "OK" For Short Runs- and is also more economical as far as material cost -but more time consuming-so labor costs are higher.	Second Option Is To Use Commscope's Multiple Media Smart Cable Which May Cost Little More than The Previous Photo- But Saves Costs On Labor and Quality Of Work	Example Of Multiple Cable Runs In A Commercial Building Using Commscope's (2) CAT5e, (2) Coax RG 6 and (2) Multimode Fiber Cables
In this photo- Smart Cable is installed between floors using Fire-Rated "Fire Stop Caulking"	Cables Are Terminated -Then Tested To Sure They All Meet EIA-TIA 568A and B Specifications	CAT 5e Cable and Coax Cable Are Carefully Pulled Then Mounted and "Punched Down" at the Patch Panel- Then The Cables are "Dressed" To Secure the Cable and make them look aesthetically pleasing to look at.
In This Photo- Smart Patch Panels or "Cans" Are Placed In A Commercial Garage And Are locked Up	Cables are "punched" down on "media" Panels consisting of 8 or 12 Port Coax Panels or 8 or 12 Port Telephone Modiles that distribute the telephone, data, video, surveillance, Satellite TV, entertainment,lighting, or coax broadband/coax high speed data service to variuos parts of the house. You can plug and play" your needs throughout the house.	Remember To Have Your Contractor Cover the Wallplates After Cable Termination and Testing- This Will Keep Paint Overspray From Damaging Your Outlets
