If FFKuS DATALIGHT has already been installed, any access point can be installed instead of a power outlet any time.
3
If too few connections have been planned or if existing systems are retrofitted, the fibre can be easily pulled through existing electrical conduits.

The switch forms the basis of the standard-compliant star-shaped cabling of the data infrastructure and makes sure that the full data rate is available at all access points.
2
Network connection at the heating makes energy data of the building available in the network or online in high-definition quality.
Types of installation
Type of installation "Maximum"
With this type of installation, a separate fibre is installed (in a star-shaped manner) from the distributor to the socket for each planned connection point. Due to this, full performance is available at every connection point. Access points can be retrofitted at any connection point or moved from one point to another one without any additional effort.
Then again, pipelines, routing and installation of power circuits involve increased effort, since in each case a separate line must be installed. Yet, the result is a flexible infrastructure fit for all challenges of the future.
Type of installation "Efficient"
With this type of installation, every room is approached by one fibre only. The distribution in the room is carried out in a star-shaped manner starting from the room transition point (connector socket, terminal box, junction box and the like) to ensure variable positioning of the access point.
This variant involves less effort, yet only one data line per room is available. Connectors serve the purpose of linking the feed line with the desired connection point in the room; in case of retrofit installation, new connection of the corresponding route must be established at the room transition point. Another connection point in the room is not recommended due to attenuation losses. If more than one access point shall be active in the room at the same time, an additional feed line is required.
Retrofitting a network
Directly via the router
Image 1: Connect the DATALIGHT media converter to the router using a patch cable and connect the included power cable to a socket outlet.
Image 2: The POF cable from the media converter can be pulled to the terminal device through existing electrical conduits. If necessary, the cable can also be routed to its desired destination in baseboards, under the floor or in corners.
Image 3: At the destination, plug the POF cable into another media converter. You can establish the required power connection directly at the terminal device using the included USB plug. Finally, connect the terminal device with the media converter using a patch cable. Done!
Via an existing network socket
Image 1: Do you already have a network socket with LAN port but require this at another point in the room? In this case, connect the DATALIGHT media converter with the existing LAN port using a patch cable. The nearby socket outlet, for instance, supplies the converter with power.
Image 2: The POF cable from the media converter can be pulled to the terminal device through existing electrical conduits. If necessary, the cable can also be routed to its desired destination in baseboards, under the floor or in corners.
Image 3: At the destination, plug the POF cable into another media converter. The converter can be supplied with power from the terminal device using the included USB mains adapter. Finally, connect the terminal device with the media converter using a patch cable. Voilà, your safe and stable data connection!
Small network
Image 1: Do you need wired network connections in two places in the house only? No problem! Installing a switch is not necessary to set up a small network. Only two media converters are directly connected to the router using patch cables. The included power cables are connected to socket outlets.
Image 2: The POF cables from the media converters can be easily pulled to the desired destination through existing electrical conduits. If necessary, the cable can also be routed in baseboards, under the floor or in corners.
Image 3: At the respective destinations, plug the POF cables into one media converter each. You can establish the required power connection using the included USB mains adapter at the terminal device. Finally, connect the media converter with the terminal device using a patch cable.
With fully occupied switch
Image 1: All connections at the DATALIGHT switch are already occupied? The DATALIGHT media converter is also a quick and easy solution for this situation. Because another media converter can be connected either directly to the router or to the switch itself using patch cables. A socket outlet supplies the converter with power.
Image 2: Similar to examples 1, 2 and 3, the POF cable from the media converter can be pulled to the terminal device through existing electrical conduits. The POF cable can also be routed to its desired destination in baseboards, under the floor or in corners.
Image 3: At the destination, plug the POF cable into another media converter. The converter can be supplied with power from the terminal device using the included USB mains adapter. Finally, connect the terminal device with the media converter using a patch cable.
Business network: hotels, offices, shops
The DATALIGHT system with the Switch 12+4-port 1000 DATALIGHT offers the matching solution also for large networks as can be found in hotels, offices or in commercial buildings in general. Other than the switch for the traditional home network which features 6 optical connections, this smart switch boasts, among others, 12 optical connections.
Standards
DIN 18015 Part 1
- Electrical installations in residential buildings – Part 1: Planning principles
- Data networks and energy supply systems must be installed in separate pipe systems
DIN 18015 Part 2
- Electrical installations in residential buildings – Part 2: Nature and extent of minimum equipment
- Number of data connections in the basic equipment
If FFKuS DATALIGHT electrical conduit is used, the need for double-conduit system can be removed thus saving a lot of installation time.
EN 50173-4
- Star-shaped installation of network systems in each room
The star-shaped installation of network systems with FFKuS DATALIGHT according to EN 50173-4 in each room is designed to meet all requirements in terms of communication, even in decades and in case of changes in use, and to guarantee connecting the future.
