Q-ODC – push-pull connector for modular cell site installations
Q-ODC is used by a growing number of operators who build a modular and flexible cell site cable infrastructure. The push-pull connectors allows for quick and reliable cable connections, e.g. for top-mast boxes or jumpers. Additional-ly, the interface is designed that it is either mated or unmated – nothing in bet-ween. This makes each installation of cell site infrastructure safe.

Railway Q-ODC - switch
The emergence of new applications onboard trains (CCTV, HD passenger infor-mation displays, in-train mobile coverage ...) is pushing the need for signal band-width every day higher. Yesterday fast ethernet, today gigabit ehternet, tomor-row 10 gigabit ethernet. This opens new opportunities for the fiber otpic technology and leads to the emergence of a new generation of ethernet swit-ches. The environmental requirements of the EN 50155 standard (electronic equipment used on rolling stock) are highly challenging. Beyond its high optical performances, the compliance of Q-ODC to the requirements of the IEC 61373 standard (railway applications - rolling stock equipment - shock and vibration tests) is a strong enabler for new gigabit optical switches to meet the require-ments of the EN 50155. For this reason, Q-ODC is not only widely adopted by switch manufaturers specialised in the railway domain but is also a very compact and adequate solution for optical connections inside railway vehicles.

Installation safety for LTE and microwave links
Q-XCO is the most installation safe fiber optic interface on the market. The con-nector is designed for harsh outdoor applications and for installation in challen-ging environments such as high up on radio masts under any atmos-pheric conditi-on. Its "one-hand" blind mating performance in combination with full SFP tolerance compensation makes this connector the best in its class. For that reason, leading system vendors have chosen Q-XCO as the fiber optic interface for LTE remote radios and for state-of-the-art microwave backhaul systems – simply to have better connections.

General guidelines
The optical performance (optical insertion loss and return loss) of fiber-optic connectors is easily and adversely affected by conta-mination and scratching of the ferrule surfaces. Particles of dust, smears of grease caused by touching the ferrules, or the residue from cleaning agents, can increase insertion losses and, in extreme cases, can culminate in loss of signal. During an installation it is therefore necessary to ensure that ferrule end surfaces are clean which means
• Stock fiber-optic assemblies only in original packaging
• Do not remove dust caps until immediately before mating
• Connectors should never left lying around without protective caps in place
• Never touch the end surfaces or 'wipe them down' and
• Always work very carefully and cleanliness is essential
LC connectors tend to be much more prone to contamination and scratching than, for example, robust ODC or Q-ODC connec-tors on which the ferrules are protected me-chanically from physical contact.
All quality manufacturers of fiber-optic assemblies conduct a 100% inspection of inser-tion losses and of the cleanliness of ferrule end face in an industrial environment gov-erned by controlled processes. Factory-terminated fiber-optic connectors supplied to the market are cleaned and are ready for direct installation.
Do NOT CLEAN factory terminated connectors before FIRST installation!
A misplaced intention to clean and inspect in the field with uncontrolled processes under usual installation conditions generally gives rise to contamination and to problems in the network. Various statistical investigations and many years of experience within the landline sector confirm this. Experience from many installations shows that contamination problems disappeared overnight when field cleaning work (before first mating) was ceased during installation work.
Disregarding initial installation, field cleaning is however an important process and one that needs to be handled effectively by the installation teams. It can arise that ferrules get dirty during installation work (e.g. through physical contact) and in such cases, clea-ning is urgently advised. During a network service or expansion, in many cases existing fiber-optic connections are disconnected and then get reconnected - here too, cleaning is advisable.
