FTTH Knowledge

With EPON technology matures, the industry mainstream operators have started large-scale deployment of EPON system, expand FTTx applications, and on this basis to achieve Triple Play, build triple play access platform.

The drop cabling forms the final external link to the subscriber and runs from the last FCP to the subscriber building with a distance restricted to less than 500 meters and often much less for high density areas.

Optical WDM networks are networks that deploy optical WDM fiber links where each fiber link carries multiple wavelength channels.

The feeder cabling runs from the Access Node to the first or primary Fiber Concentration Point (FCP).

Deploying fiber to the home requires learning a new set of network testing practices. Here’s a quick summary of what operators need to know and when they need to know it.

Fiber connectors are widely known as the weakest points in a network. The more connections in a network, the greater is the potential for problems caused by improper handling during installation, operation, expansion and maintenance.

After acceptance testing, the optical network terminals (ONTs) can be installed in the customer premises. With PON technology, an ONT’s 1310nm wavelength is activated only by the 1490nm signal from the OLT. Therefore, to measure the output power of all wa

Video service quality is ultimately determined by the end user or subscriber. Video quality of experience (QoE) is a subjective concept with components that are nearly impossible to measure in a practical, operational manner.

With growing network services such as HDTV, IPTV, voice-over-IP (VoIP) and Multimedia broadband applications, the demand of broadband has increased tremendously.

In the broadband communication, the fiber optic network deployment is increasingly applied to fulfill the cloud application and high-demand multimedia streaming needs nowadays.

To describe an FTTH infrastructure network, it is essential to understand some of the basics. An FTTH network will normally form part of an existing access network, connecting a large number of end users back to a central point known as an Access Node.

In a nutshell, FTTH (Fiber to the Home) is the idea of bringing high-speed networking, digital television and telephone service to residences using fiber optic cables.

The first serious interest in fiber to the home (FTTH) began in the late 1980s as the telephone companies gained experience with ISDN wideband services to subscribers. Rapid advances in the technology of optical transmitters, receivers, and fibers made F

In the 1970’s telephone and cable-TV companies realized the advantages of replacing metallic cables with fiber. Due to the underdevelopment of fiber optic technology, the costs of building a fiber optic network where is too high.

The first on is the Point-to-point architecture, where individual fibers run from the local exchange to each home. Many fibers are needed, which entails high first installation costs, but also provides the ultimate capacity and the most flexibility to upg

To better know about the hot topic “The Best Last Mile Solution-PON” about Fiber to the home (FTTH),it would be a great idea to collect full details of PON information, including about all types of PON solution: APON, BPON, EPON(10G-EPON), GPON(10GPON) an

The “Distribution Cabling” runs from the FCP further into the FTTH network and closer to the subscriber base.

Fiber optics uses light signals to transmit data. As this data moves across a fiber, there needs to be a way to separate it so that it gets to the proper destination.

Here, we just simply introduce four embodiment method of FTTH, including Home Run method, APON Method, TDM-PON and WDM-PON.
