* Aduro is a photon of light. He is a marathon runner that travels

long distances in Single Mode Fiber and has a glowing

personality. He zips along with his brothers who travel back

and forth at the speed of light.

* Aduro travels in MultiMode Fiber too. Aduro has to let his

cousin Eddie run in traditional Copper Cable. The Multimode

Fiber is connected to switches that give Aduro motion sickness

and bruises from toll plazas every 1200 feet. Eddie is hardened

because he is slower and can only go 300 feet before

encountering another switch.

* Aduro likes to race his cousin, Eddie the Electron. Eddie is

aging today and quite a lot thicker around the middle. He

never beats Aduro and can only run short distances without

paying a toll.

* Aduro likes to travel fast and deliver all of the same

information that he started with. He prefers to travel in Single

Mode Fiber cables. He travels 20KM or end to end in 1/15000

of a second. He bounces less and travels without friction which

keeps him from burning out over that long trip.

Aduro is a marathoner and prefers

Single Mode Fiber because he can

travel 12.4 miles without stopping.

When he runs in Multimode Fiber he

often has to stop every 300 feet,

just like his cousin Eddie the

Electron.

His cousin Eddie the Electron can

only run in copper cable. When he

does, he runs from switch to switch

300 feet at a time, gets a boost and

moves to the next switch.

Multimode fiber and copper cable

are more brittle than Single Mode

fiber cable. They are part of the

mature cable plants that are

installed today.

Traditional copper and Multimode networks that we use today were designed 25 years ago and are

approaching their natural end of life. Connectivity demands from mobile, voice, video, and sensors across

the campus are shortening life cycles for cable and switch which means that total spending is increasing

exponentially. These cable plants are mature and not capable of providing the cost reductions, services,

and areas of coverage that single mode in-plant can provide.

Traditional copper and Multimode networks that we use today were designed for data. Complimentary and

overlapping cable plants that consist of coax for video, twisted pair for legacy telephone systems and

either type for sensors have been installed and add to the fire and toxic hazard inside campus facilities

today.

Using switches with 128 ports each, installed

Traditional copper and Multimode networks that we use today were designed for data. We are stuffing

them with more demands and that causes switch and cable migrations to occur more frequently. The

Traditional Structured Cabling Networks model requires power hungry switches that offer managed or

unmanaged 1GigaBit / GIGe or less capacity per port. By contrast, each of the Single Mode controller ports

is manageable at the bit and port level. This improves security and management capability beyond what is

available in the traditional network environments that are in place today.

The very latest in “Mission Critical

Networking” Closets – Expensive and

totally unnecessary

With Single Mode Fiber, you can use

your closets …… as closets

We looked at a 12 story hospital – 31 telco closets in 1 building. Imagine how many you will find in an area

of 483 square miles? In 2011 Energy Star is migrating telco closets away from data center space and

forcing property owners to account for them as office space that is operational 24/7. This will lower your

score, perhaps below your tenant contract. Are you prepared for that?

This one is Simple: Use your closets as closets. Get your space back.

Traditional copper and Multimode networks that we use today were designed for data. We are stuffing

them with more demands and that causes switch and cable migrations to occur more frequently. As service

demands continue to increase, more core and distributed services are needed. We see this in the

increasing pace of migrations for traditional switch and cable networks.

The business case below compares the legacy cable plant to the emerging Passive Optical

LAN or Single Mode Fiber plants. A single Passive Optical LAN cable can run up to 20 KM

without switches, repeaters, or additional core technologies. 20 KM is equal to 12.4 miles or

65,472 feet. This differs from CATx which is limited to 300 feet and then a switch

connection. Switches with 128 ports have been selected as each PON cable can support up to

128 port connections.

The business case above compares the legacy cable plant to the emerging Passive Optical LAN or Single

Mode Fiber plants. The Cable Plant is expected to have a lifetime of 25 years, but we use 15 years

because the lasers and cards in the chassis will most likely need to undergo an upgrade at around 15 years.

It is important to note that the emerging PON cable plant and connected elements are likely to stay in

place through an entire 25 year or more lifespan.

This comparison is specific to data and voice services, not video using COAX, not sensors connected via

twisted pair, not DAS systems which use single mode in most cases. PON offers the capability to include

all of these additional services, manage bit level traffic, and manage individual port security

We advocate the addition of services that mean something to constituents, not wasteful expenditures,

especially when they are repetitive. Globally, mankind is struggling with ongoing decreases in precious

metals availability, cost spikes, and increased transportation costs. The reality of structured cabling is that

it has approached its maturity point. It needs to sunset and enjoy what it has given us while the emerging

single mode fiber takes on more responsibility.

Lets face it, Buggy Whips are no longer needed because people do use horse and buggy any longer. 25

years or so ago, we began the process of replacing the cables that connected VTxx in shop floor and office

environments as the ETHERNET came into being. That technology has served data connection needs quite

well. As with any technology, emerging technology will come along to replace it at some point. Structured

Cabling networks, as we know them today will yield to Single Mode Fiber and allow the owners to take on

net new services faster, more securely, and with more management capabilities than previously possible.

The Power to Choose Among the most important rights that we possess as Americans is the right to CHOOSE when,

where, and how an action is taken. For generations, “we, the people” have taken on initiatives

that have continued to redefine and shape a future that enhances competitiveness and leadership

on the worldwide stage.

The time is now to light up an uncertain future. Take a leadership position that results in new

abilities to reduce overall costs without sacrificing security and services . The time is now to start

planning and take the action steps that are required for these next generation networks. CHOOSE

to move forward with Operational Services Networks versus costly, power-hungry, overlapping,

constrained, and fragmented networks that were originally designed for data.

The Power to Protect As Americans, we rely upon our Judicial, Legislative, and Enforcement branches to keep our way of life as safe as possible. Terrorists have attacked us in our homeland and our fragmented communications systems failed. Thousands died as a result.

Single Mode Fiber plants survive power outages, offering internal battery back-up to critical emergency loads such as IP Phones, Video Cameras, and Wireless access points that can be used to augment public safety visual and communication capabilities. Had a single mode fiber network been in place when the World Trade Centers were attacked, public safety might have been able to assess which emergency exits were available using battery backed surveillance cameras, and potentially saved hundreds who chose to jump instead of burning to death. This is the power of non-fragmented single mode networks.

The time is now to gain new levels of public safety capability. First Responders, can light up an uncertain future by carrying the lamp that leads to new abilities to choose how to best respond to a public safety incident.

The Power to Serve American history and leadership is based on innovation, creativity, and the courage to lead. People are demanding more from elected officials who in some cases are giving back political posturing, not true leadership.

Leadership is the courage to create a vision and follow it through. Fiber Optics, not copper is the way of the future and the US is falling behind many emerging countries.

All Property, All IP Single Mode fiber “utility” plants are the way of the future. The ability to choose when and how to apply fixed, mobile, and security services that are meaningful, cost effective, and environmentally responsible can only lead to a better future for your constituents and the future leaders of our country. Stop wasting money on network adaptations that only result in more long term costs and more environmental risks. Start choosing to implement services without having to stop and adapt or replace parts of your networked systems.

The time is now to make lasting changes that are fiscally responsible, conservation minded, and morally imperative to the future and the continuation of our way of life.
