legacy OM1 and OM2 multimode fiber links. It also
makes multimode optical fibers compatible with singlemode
wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technologies,
thereby enabling a gradual and flexible increase in
network capacity toward very high-speed broadband while
ensuring a durable cabling infrastructure.
In addition to traditional LAN Ethernet architectures,
new perspectives are emerging for the passive optical
LAN (POL), which aims to be a sustainable LAN implementation
that offers capacity and security to the workstation
through GPON technology at lower operational
and energy costs while saving space. These architectures
were initially designed on a singlemode optical cabling
infrastructure for greenfield projects, but MPLC-based
technology now makes them compatible with existing
multimode optical fibers. This paves a way to facilitate
the adoption of POL in existing networks for brown-
field projects.
In view of current and future needs, the limited capacity
of cabling infrastructure is a prevalent issue. Moreover,
complex cabling cases are not uncommon. This MPLCbased
modal adapting technology has already proven its
effectiveness across numerous industrial, military, university
and hospital campuses. The decrease of operational
and economic constraints for end customers makes it
possible for ICT professionals to close
To sum up, there is now an innovative technology
that allows enterprises to preserve their existing multimode
fiber cabling infrastructure. Thus, this positive
disruptive technology offers a new alternative to solving
the issues of ever-increasing bandwidth needs and
rising throughputs in LANs—along with proven benefits
for both end customers and ICT professionals.
AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY: Holding a master's of engineering
degree from the National School of Applied Sciences and
Technology and a doctorate in physics, Kevin Lengle worked
as a researcher at the French National Centre for Scientific
Research (CNRS) and at a telecom equipment manufacturing
company. As the product line manager at the Cailabs Company
since 2015, he brings his ICT expertise in optics and telecommunications
to the development and commercialization of innovative
optical solutions to fully exploit the potential of multimode
optical fibers. Kevin can be reached at kevin@cailabs.com.

business faster by showing them
an efficient alternative. It also
facilitates the realization of projects
that had previously been blocked
for these reasons. The competitive
advantage conferred to professionals
offering this advanced technology
allows them to differentiate
themselves and attract new customers.
In addition, a network upgrade
facilitated with fewer human
resources enables professionals
offering this MPLC innovation to
achieve better margins. As a complement
to traditional cabling, it
also makes it possible to secure all
contracts by adding this technology
to tenders.
