Introducing xsNet From aerial and underground  installations, through to both  simple and more complex residential  networks, Prysmian’s xsNet family  of products and solutions represents  a new standard   in Fibre To The Home  (FTTH). Answering the critical need for  ease of deployment, flexibility, reliability  and cost-efficiency   – and being backed  by a full suite of valuable support  services – xsNet   is the ideal range  of cabling for today’s changing world. Supported throughout by BendBright XS  fibre technology 2

3 A revolutionary system for fi bre TV cabling VeRTV XS  is an optical Multi Dwelling Unit (MDU) TV cabling solution. The plug and play system  consists of patchcords of various lengths and fl oor boxes for splitting or tap-off . It has been designed to make installation simple as no fi bre optical experience is required for installation, and no fusion or mechanical splicing is needed. Anyone familiar with copper cables, such as electrical engineers, can easily work with this solution. To ensure a balanced installation and a uniform signal to all users, VeRTV XS  allows the installation of three tap-off s plus one splitter ‘in cascade’. This means 32 users can be connected and the insertion loss is lower than 15dB. By means of a1x2 splitter installed at the LNB exit, it is possible to connect 32 users. In this manner, the performance of one single dishis fully optimised.  Technical Parameters Maximum Insertion Loss for 16 outs 15 dB Uniformity Insertion Loss 1 dB Return Loss ≥ 55 dB
