FAQ for InOne Powered Fiber
Key features and benefits:
- Single cable solution: Combines power and fiber into one cable, reducing installation time and costs.
- Air-blown installation: The cable can be easily blown into existing micro-ducts, minimizing disruption.
- Long distances: Depending on loads and the number of devices, InOne can provide power and data over distances up to several thousand meters.
- Cost-effective: Reduces overall project costs by eliminating the need for two separate cable installations.
How it works:
The InOne solution is designed to safely deliver high power over long distances through the hybrid cable. It consists of:
- Power rectifiers: Convert standard AC power into a safe DC voltage for transmission.
- Hybrid cables: Carry both power and fiber signals.
- Outdoor cabinets: Terminates fiber and power and regulates voltage to stable usable one.
Applications:
- CCTV: Powers and connects surveillance cameras.
- Public WiFi: Powers and connects outdoor public WiFi access points distributed within a wide area.
- Small cell sites: Provides power and fiber connectivity for 5G and other wireless technologies.
- IoT devices: Enables power and data transmission for various IoT applications.
- Power requirements: The quantity of remote devices and the amount of power needed to power them all.
- Cable size: Different InOne cable sizes can reach different distances.
- Starting Power Budget: With our bigger rectifier, longer distances can be achieved.

- Identify device locations (Network Map): Pinpoint the exact positions of devices requiring both power and data.
- Assess power consumption: Determine the power requirements of each device.
- Analyze network topology: Determine the most efficient network structure design (e.g., star, ring, bus).
- Power requirements: Based on the maximum power load and distances needed, choose the appropriate cable size and rectifier.
- Power distribution: Plan how power will be distributed within the network.
- Outdoor Cabinet(HAN): Choose the appropriate HAN size, specs, and accessories based on the requirements in terms of maximum power, industrial switch size, environmental conditions, security, and smart features
The above details will be used within our InOne design tool to create a robust, efficient network design using the InOne solution.
The InOne Powered Fiber is an excellent solution for microsites for the following reasons:
- The InOne system power budget is very suitable for the power loads of microcells and the distances where they are installed.
- Typically, the microcells are installed in high-density areas where installing power and fiber infrastructure is most challenging. The InOne hybrid micro cables can be blown into existing microducts, minimizing the need for civil work.
- The InOne utilizes DC power, which in most markets eliminates the need for licensed electricity providers.
Densification of mobile networks will require the addition of small sites/microcells to enhance the coverage of 5G networks. This demand will increase as the demand for 5G applications increases.
In many markets, 5G macro sites were deployed with low-band frequencies (which really do not offer the marketed features of 5G). When 5G operators start deploying High-Band frequencies, the deployment of microsites will increase exponentially.
Depending on requirements, Power redundancy is typically achieved through several design strategies on different levels and parts of the solution to ensure continuous power delivery in case of a power source failure.
These strategies can include:
- For AC Power Backup: Using (UPS) that can provide temporary power during an outage of the main AC power source.
- For DC Power Backups: Implementing dual DC power sources/rectifiers where both are connected to the system. If one rectifier fails, the other will take over without interruption. These two rectifiers can be within the same location or connected from both ends of the system.
- Ring Topology: Depends on distance and power loads, with InOne you can deploy network ring topology for Fiber and Power. This will allow having multiple routes to feed the same system in case of a cable cut.
Specific implementations can vary based on the requirements of the deployment and the infrastructure required. For detailed information and tailored solutions, consulting Hexatronic's technical documentation or their support team would be beneficial.
