FTTH Fiber to the Home

OPF Offers a host of solutions for FTTX applications. What is FTTX, well this includes FTTN (Fiber To The Node), FTTC (Fiber To The Curb), FTTB (Fiber To The Basement) and FTTH (Fiber To The Home). Our FTTX Fiber optic cables are capable of delivering incredible bandwidth. Most subscribers connect to the internet through copper lines with limited capacity up to 2Mbs. This creates a bottleneck for advancing technologies that increasingly require greater bandwidth. Technology today uses the internet to do some things that require heavy bandwith. For example downloading music and movies, or VOIP digital voice calls with video. These all require great bandwith and FTTH solves this problem.

Fiber optic FTTX cables are made of glass fiber that can carry data at speeds exceeding 2.5 gigabits per second (gbps). FTTH services commonly offer a fleet of plans with differing speeds that are price dependent. At the lower end of the scale, a service plan might offer speeds of 10 megabits per second (mbps), while typical DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) service running on existing copper lines is 1.5 mbps. A more expensive FTTH plan might offer data transfer speeds of over 100 mbps —- that's about 66 times faster than typical DSL. This technology is a necessity for future advancements as we grow to using the cloud. FTTH is more often being installed in newly built communities as an added selling feature. Installing FTTH raises the value of existing property.

FTTH Cable

Demands for bandwidth are constantly rising. Very soon the required bandwidth on copper pairs will only be applicable on short distances for new and enhanced Internet applications. Optical fibres and their abillity to transmit high bandwidths over long distances are a solution. Investments in distributing optical fibres to single flats can be reduced by using the already installed infrastructure in multi-tenant buildings.

A network operator can plant a DSLAM in a house to terminate the optical fibre inside the building (FTTB = Fibre-to-the-Building). The DSLAM then connects the subscribers via DSL using the existing telephone cabling. Each subscriber gets more than 100 Mbps on these short telephone lines using VDSL2 transmission.

So the network operator can offer the full bouquet of modern Triple Play services like broadband Internet, VoIP, Video-on-Demand and Internet television (IPTV) at minimal costs.
