Introduction
FiberPoint Structured Wiring Enclosure Installation Guide
Form 361015-0001A
(depending on the model). This circuit card is mounted
inside a protective electro-magnetic interference (EMI)
shield, reducing the possibility of disrupting (or being
disrupted by) other customer equipment.

CAUTION
CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or perfor-
mance of procedures other than those spec-
ified herein may result in hazardous
radiation exposure.
The use of optic instruments with this prod-
uct will increase eye hazard.
Incoming fiber from the PON is attached to the MEM
using an SC-APC connector.
LEDs are built into the assembly to assist service per-
sonnel in determining component status and/or trou-
bleshooting in the field. See Chapter 5 for system
troubleshooting information.
Power Supply
The FiberPoint MEM is designed to run on local
power. A separate UPS is required in order to convert
household power (110vac) to low voltage (15vdc)
which is required by the FiberPoint MEM. A battery cir-
cuit is also used to ensure lifeline services remain
available during power outages. The UPS is mounted
inside the customers home, in a well ventilated area,
near an AC power source.
Structured Wiring Enclosure
SWE’s are a new class of residential enclosures being
used mostly in new housing developments.
SWE’s allows for a central wiring distribution panel and
the co-location of virtually all of the homeowners tele-
communications equipment:
•
Data Hubs and Switches
•
CATV Splitters and Amplifiers
•
Security Systems
•
Intercom Systems
•
Component Audio/Home Theater Systems

MEM
The FiberPoint MEM can be located in a variety of
environments:
•
Exterior to the home in a NEMA 3 rated Enclosure (not
provided by Optical Solutions). See Figure 1-1.
•
As part of a SWE, where a “central command closet” is
incorporated into the home where telecommunications
services, security etc. are housed. See Figure 1-2.
•
SWE’s also provide a central hub for all home voice,
video and data wiring allowing for easy connection and
reconfiguration of telecom services.
•
SWE’s are typlcally recess mounted between wall
studs in the premises utility room.
