 CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1. Background
In the context of the rapid development of information technology,
local network infrastructure (LAN) plays a very important role in
supporting connectivity and data exchange within an organization or
institution. Fiber optic cables have become the main choice in building
LAN infrastructure, because of their advantages in transmitting data at
high speed and high reliability. However, implementing fiber optic cables
in LAN infrastructure requires a deep understanding of this technology
and the challenges that may arise in the implementation process.

In the ever-growing digital era, network infrastructure plays an

increasingly vital role in supporting interconnection and exchange of
information in various sectors of life. Local network infrastructure (LAN)
is the basis for various communication activities and data access in an
organizational or institutional environment.

Fiber optic cables, with their ability to transmit data at high speeds
and large capacities, have become the main choice for building resilient
network infrastructure. These advantages make fiber optic cables a very
reliable solution to overcome the increasing need for connections.

PT. Media Solusi Network (MSN) provides services in the field of

information technology in three main areas, namely software development,
internet network services and IT consulting. Apart from these services, PT
MSN also has several superior products which are divided into the

 CHAPTER 2

THEORETICAL BASIS

2.1. LAN (Local Area Network) network system

LAN (Local Area Network) is a computer network consisting of a
group of computers and other devices located in a relatively small
geographic area, such as in the same building, campus or office. LANs are
usually used to connect computers, printers, servers and other devices so
they can communicate and share resources such as data, applications and
hardware. This network can use copper cables such as Ethernet or Wi-Fi
wireless connections. LAN allows users to transfer data quickly and
efficiently within a limited area.

2.2. Implementation
Implementation refers to the concrete process or stages in which a
plan or concept is executed or applied in practice. It can refer to
implementing an idea, strategy, project, or system into an actual
environment with the goal of achieving a desired outcome. In a business or
information technology context, implementation often involves steps such
as hardware or software configuration, user training, data migration, and
testing to ensure that a new solution or project can function effectively
according to previously established goals. Implementation is a key stage in
the product or project development cycle, and its success is often
determined by careful planning, efficient management, and a good
understanding of the relevant needs and context.

11
2.3 Fiber Optic Cable
Fiber optic cable, or often referred to as fiber optic cable, is a
transmission medium that uses very fine glass or plastic fibers to transfer
data in the form of light signals. Fiber optic cables consist of these fibers
arranged together in a strong protective wrap, usually made of a material
such as plastic or kevlar.

The use of light as a medium for transferring data makes fiber optic
cables have several advantages compared to traditional copper cables.
Some of these include:

a. Speed: Fiber optic cables are capable of transferring data at much higher
speeds compared to copper cables. This makes it the main choice for
networks that require high throughput, such as internet backbones.
b. Capacity: Fiber optic cables have a huge capacity to transfer data. By
using light multiplexing techniques, multiple data channels can be
transmitted over a single fiber simultaneously.
c. Strength: Optical fiber has high resistance to electromagnetic
interference, so it is not susceptible to interference from external sources.
d. Distance: Fiber optic cables can transfer data over long distances without
a reduction in signal quality, depending on the type of fiber and
equipment used.
e. Security: Because they do not produce easily captured electromagnetic
radiation, fiber optic cables are more difficult to passively tap compared
to copper cables.

2.4. WI-FI (Wireless Fidelity)

Wi-Fi is a wireless technology that allows electronic devices to
connect to an internet network or local network without using physical
cables. The term "Wi-Fi" comes from the abbreviation "Wireless Fidelity",

12
 coined by the Wi-Fi Alliance, an industry organization that develops
wireless standards. This technology uses radio waves to transmit data
between a device and an access point, which is usually connected to a
larger wired network. Ease of use, mobility, speed, and security are some
of the key features of Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi connections allow users to move freely
around the coverage area without losing connection, while security
protocols such as WPA2 ensure data is encrypted and safe from
unauthorized access. Wi-Fi has become integral to everyday life, used in
homes, workplaces, and public places.

2.5. Tools

2.5.1. Dual Core Fiber Optic Cable

Dual core fiber optic cable is a type of fiber optic cable that
has two fiber optic cores in it. Each fiber optic core functions as an
independent channel to transfer data via light signals. With two
fiber optic cores, this cable can transfer multiple data
simultaneously, significantly increasing network capacity and
throughput.

 CHAPTER 4

DATA COLLECTION

4.1 Data Collection

The author carried out data collection during industrial work
practices at PT. MEDIA SOLUSI NETWORK, uses data collection
techniques using direct observation and interview techniques.

From the results of observations and interviews that have been

carried out, several data were produced regarding the existing customer
data collection system at PT. NETWORK SOLUTION MEDIA, including
the following.

4.1.1. Steps for Implementing Fiber Optic Cables for Customers

a. Consultation and Needs Review

The first step in implementation is to consult with customers to

understand their network needs. The technical team will meet with the
customer to discuss project requirements, budget and schedule. During
this consultation, a review of network requirements will be carried out
including the number of users, applications used, and network security
or reliability considerations.

Figure 4.1Installation briefing

23
b. Solution Design and Offering

After consultation, the technical team will design a fiber optic

network solution that suits customer needs. This involves selecting the
appropriate type of fiber optic cable, designing the network topology,
and determining the necessary hardware such as switches, routers, and
termination devices. The team will put together a bid that includes
network design, device specifications, and cost estimates.

c. Approval and Scheduling

Once the quote is approved, the customer will approve the

implementation plan and schedule time for installation. This may
involve coordination with third parties if the installation requires
additional permits or approvals. During this stage, an appropriate
installation schedule will be determined based on customer and
technical team availability.

Figure 4.2Installation at customer's home

24
d. Installation and Configuration

The next stage is the installation of fiber optic cables at the

customer's location according to the approved plan. The technical team
will install cables, connectors and other network hardware according to
the design that has been prepared. They will also configure the device
to ensure proper connection and compatibility with existing network
infrastructure.

Figure 4.3Fiber optic cable connection

25
e. Testing and Verification

After the installation is complete, the technical team will test the
fiber optic cable to ensure that the connection functions properly and
meets the specified standards. This includes signal testing, loss
measurement, and network performance verification. Test results will
be validated and approved before proceeding to the next stage.

Figure 4.4Check network signal

f. User Training

Finally, the technical team will provide training to users on how to

use the fiber optic network infrastructure effectively. They will explain
how to maintain and maintain the network as well as how to deal with
common problems that may arise. This training aims to ensure that
users can make optimal use of the infrastructure and reduce the risk of
user disruption or error.

26
4.1.2. Advantages of Fiber Optic Cables in Network Infrastructure
LAN
The use of fiber optic cables in LAN network infrastructure
provides a number of significant advantages, which makes it the
preferred choice for many organizations and service providers. The
following is a more detailed explanation of these advantages:

1) High Transmission Speed: One of the main advantages of fiber optic

cables is high transmission speed. Optical fibers enable data
transmission at speeds close to the speed of light in a vacuum, which is
much faster than copper cables. This allows the use of fiber optic
cables to transmit data at gigabit per second (Gbps) or even terabit per
second (Tbps) speeds, enabling optimal and responsive network
performance.
2) Greater Capacity: Fiber optic cables have greater transmission capacity
compared to similar copper cables. Optical fibers are capable of
transmitting more data at one time, because more signals can be
transmitted over a single fiber without experiencing quality
degradation.
3) Resistance to Electromagnetic Interference: One of the disadvantages
of copper cables is that they are susceptible to electromagnetic
interference (EMI) or radio frequency interference (RFI) from external
sources such as electrical equipment or wireless devices. However,
fiber optic cables are not affected by this interference because they use
light to transmit data. This makes fiber optic cables more resistant to
external interference and electromagnetic interference, thereby
increasing network reliability and availability.

4) Longer Transmission Distances: Fiber optics allows data transmission

over longer distances without experiencing significant degradation in
signal quality. Compared to copper cables, fiber optic cables can
transmit data up to several tens of kilometers without requiring

27
 additional signal amplification. This makes fiber optic cables ideal for
networks that cover large or discrete areas, such as metropolitan
networks or campus networks.
5) High Data Security: Fiber optic cables have higher data security
compared to copper cables. Because optical fibers do not transmit
electromagnetic signals, they are difficult to passively tap. This makes
fiber optic cables an ideal choice for applications that require a high
level of security, such as banking, military, or government. In addition,
because there is no electromagnetic radiation coming out of the fiber
optic cable, the risk of remote tapping is also reduced.
6) Lightweight and Durable: Fiber optic cables are generally lighter and
more durable than copper cables. They are not susceptible to corrosion
or temperature changes, and have a longer service life than copper
cables. This makes fiber optic cables an ideal choice for installations in
harsh environments or in applications that require additional protection
against extreme environmental conditions.
7) Multiple Connections in One Cable: Fiber optic cables often have
multiple fibers in them, which allows separate data to be sent in one
cable. This allows more efficient use of the cable infrastructure, as
multiple connections can be made over a single fiber optic cable.

28
 CHAPTER 5

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

5.1 Conclusion
The conclusion is to understand the process of implementing fiber optic
cables in LAN network infrastructure and the advantages that this technology has
in using LAN networks. The implementation process involves steps from
planning, component selection, installation, configuration, to user training, which
aims to ensure the LAN network infrastructure can operate optimally.

Meanwhile, the advantages of fiber optic cables include high transmission

speed, large capacity, resistance to electromagnetic interference, long transmission
distance, high data security, as well as being light and durable. By understanding
the implementation process and advantages of this technology, organizations or
service providers can make more informed decisions in choosing network
infrastructure that suits their needs.

5.2 Suggestions
My advice to PT. Media Solusi Network is a first, companies can increase
the availability and technical knowledge of their teams by conducting regular
training and certification on fiber optic cable installation, configuration and
maintenance. In addition, creating a clear and structured guide or guidebook on
the steps for implementing fiber optic cables can help guide the technical team in
the process. Increased access to supporting resources such as webinars, seminars,
or online courses can also provide additional knowledge about the latest
technology in the use of fiber optic cables. Second, companies can optimize the
implementation process by speeding up the approval and scheduling process. This
can be achieved by improving coordination between the technical team, project
management, and the customer to ensure that the installation schedule meets
customer needs and expectations. By implementing this proposal, it is hoped that
companies can increase efficiency and quality in implementing the use of fiber
optic cables, as well as strengthen their reputation in the market.
