Construction
New cable placement Local streets Highways Aerial and buried
Some customer premises will require on-site construction
![Page 20: We’re Talking Fiber Optics, Baby! Things, they are a changing](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfc91a28abf838ca8f77/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Engineering Fiber vs. Copper
60% of customer base will require fiber optlic loop connections
40% of customer base will remain on short copper loops Copper loops already capable of handling all that

Fiber Factors
There are a few factors that determine new fiber placement Age and condition of existing copper distribution
cable Distance from customer to TBTC switching
equipment Other engineering and construction specifications
![Page 23: We’re Talking Fiber Optics, Baby! Things, they are a changing](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfc91a28abf838ca8f77/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Engineering Challenges: Fiber
New service entrance cable Aerial or buried In some cases, new entrance cable may disturb
customer's landscaping... TBTC will take pains to minimize any construction effects on customer property
New wiring to computer for data connections
![Page 24: We’re Talking Fiber Optics, Baby! Things, they are a changing](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfc91a28abf838ca8f77/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Customer Impact
Construction Service Disruptions Cool New Services!!!
![Page 25: We’re Talking Fiber Optics, Baby! Things, they are a changing](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfc91a28abf838ca8f77/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Customer Premise Construction
Tailored to the unique requirements of each customer's property
TBTC will schedule meetings with individual customers to discuss required construction on their property Comprehensive on-site assessment Minimize impact to landscaping Aesthetics are important too – NID, UPS, Cabling
![Page 26: We’re Talking Fiber Optics, Baby! Things, they are a changing](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfc91a28abf838ca8f77/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Customer Premise: Copper
No construction on customer property No new wiring Possibly new DSL modem
![Page 27: We’re Talking Fiber Optics, Baby! Things, they are a changing](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfc91a28abf838ca8f77/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Customer Premise: Fiber
Access to the customer's property required New UPS unit to be mounted on wall inside the
building New house wiring for current DSL customers
may be required
![Page 28: We’re Talking Fiber Optics, Baby! Things, they are a changing](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfc91a28abf838ca8f77/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
UPS
Uninterruptible Power Supply Locations with 100% fiber optic cables require a
UPS because there will no longer be copper wires to carry low-voltage power from TBTC's equipment to the customer's equipment
Low-voltage power is necessary to power electronics in the new Optical Networking Terminal (NID) and enable continued service operation during power outages
![Page 29: We’re Talking Fiber Optics, Baby! Things, they are a changing](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfc91a28abf838ca8f77/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
UPS
Enables continued service for 8 to 10 hours in the event of an electrical power outage
Manufacturer estimates power consumption for 30 days at 24 hours per day of continuous heavy load to cost about 61 cents
Monthly power consumption for a typical household is expected to be less than this estimate
Actual power consumption will vary based on actual usage
![Page 30: We’re Talking Fiber Optics, Baby! Things, they are a changing](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfc91a28abf838ca8f77/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
UPS
Needs to be plugged into an outlet inside the building with a wire ultimately connecting to the new NID on the outside of the building
Replacement NID will ideally be located in the same location as the existing NID
