Solution Overview
FTTH, or Fiber to the Home, is a high-speed broadband network architecture that delivers fiber optic cables directly to residential homes. It provides extremely fast and reliable internet connectivity, enabling high-bandwidth services like video streaming, online gaming, and other data-intensive applications.
Components of FTTH (Fiber-to-the-Home) Solution
Optical Line Terminal (OLT): The OLT is a key component in the central office or data center. It aggregates and manages the data traffic from multiple homes, converting electrical signals to optical signals for transmission over the fiber optic network.
Optical Network Terminal (ONT): The ONT is installed at the customer's premises and serves as the interface between the fiber optic network and the user's equipment. It converts optical signals back into electrical signals for distribution within the home.
Fiber Distribution Hub (FDH): The FDH is an outdoor passive optical component that connects the feeder fibers from the central office to the distribution fibers leading to individual homes. It helps manage and distribute the optical signals efficiently.
Drop Cable: This is the optical fiber cable that connects the distribution network to the individual homes. It is typically routed along utility poles or buried underground.
Optical Fiber: The core of the FTTH solution is the optical fiber that carries data signals as pulses of light. Single-mode optical fibers are commonly used for long-distance and high-bandwidth applications.
Splitters: Optical splitters divide the optical signal from the feeder fiber into multiple signals for individual homes, enabling cost-effective sharing of the network infrastructure.
Passive Optical Network (PON): PON is a point-to-multipoint network architecture that enables multiple users to share the same optical fiber. It includes the OLT, ONT, splitters, and the passive fiber optic infrastructure.
Subscriber Connection Point: This is the termination point inside the home where the optical fiber is connected to the ONT, providing the interface for the user's devices.
