From Yahoo! Re: Marconi (Reltec) (MRVC's parts connect to Marconi's)
Catch the part about 155 Mbps!

The Company believes it is the only company that offers an FTTC solution that can be deployed economically within 500 feet of the subscriber. Because the final drop is within 500 feet of the subscriber, the physical characteristics of the drop cable (the "baseband" characteristics) permit signal transmission at rates up to 155 Mbps without requiring the addition of passband modulation electronics such as Integrated Services Digital Network ("ISDN") or xDSL.

In addition, the Company's DEEP FIBER SOLUTIONS system has significantly lower power requirements than competing systems and requires only a single fiber (as opposed to separate upstream and downstream fibers). As a result, the Company believes that its DEEP FIBER SOLUTIONS system, in certain new network buildouts, such as multiple dwelling units ("MDUs"), can be currently deployed at a cost comparable to the cost of deploying a copper-based system. In addition, the Company believes that the lifetime cost of its DEEP FIBER SOLUTIONS system will be significantly lower than copper-based systems due to the inherently lower maintenance requirements of fiber-based systems...."

Again, it is MRVC's duplexer and triplexer that connect here. Note the reference to "single fiber" here:

""In 1996 MRVC introduced a fiber duplexer that permits the transmission of voice and data over a single optical fiber, effectively doubling the capacity of each fiber."
