FTTH Network

FTTH Network

2024-12-16

Fiber To The Home (FTTH) is a transmission method for fiber optic communication, which refers to the installation of optical network units (ONUs) at residential or enterprise users, and is the closest type of fiber access network application to users in the optical access series, except for FTTD (fiber to the desktop).

 

FTTH does not only providing greater bandwidth, but also enhancing the transparency of the network to data formats, rates, wavelengths, and protocols, relaxing requirements for environmental conditions and power supply, and simplifying maintenance and installation. PON technology has become a hot topic of concern for global broadband operators and is considered one of the best technical solutions for achieving FTTH.

 

FTTH (Fiber To The Home) is currently the best model for full service, high bandwidth access needs. Its development mainly has two paths: active optical networks and passive optical networks.

Active optical networks have the characteristic of long transmission distance, but they have a high degree of equipment specialization and are not suitable for densely populated areas. In addition, the port price is relatively high. Moreover, the active characteristics also greatly limit the installation of equipment and are easily affected by electromagnetic interference in the surrounding environment, which increases the number of network failure points and leads to high maintenance costs.

 

Passive optical networks, as pure dielectric networks, have a natural ability to resist electromagnetic interference, reduce the number of failure points in the access network, have high system reliability, and low maintenance costs. At the same time, the FTTH transparency of the passive optical network mode is good, which can support applications of multiple standards and is more suitable for large-scale development of users. Passive optical networks are gradually becoming the mainstream development direction of FTTH.

 

FTTH Main Business Scope

FTTH is a comprehensive access solution for all services, allowing users to enjoy multiple services at the same time.

  • Video: HDTV, Standard DTV, various still image services using MPEG-1, MPEG-4, and other compression technologies, and low resolution surveillance image services.
  • Data: Data services with various code rates, ranging from a few Kbps to tens of megabytes.
  • Voice: including traditional POS telephone and digital telephone services, multi-channel high fidelity sound.
  • Multimedia: Various mixed data, voice, and image services of different qualities.

 

FTTH Networking Principle

Similar to the "Cross and distribution method" of all plastic telephone cables, the Fiber to the Home (FTTH) Optical Distribution Network (ODN) is divided into a backbone cable subsystem, distribution cable subsystem, and drop cable terminal subsystem.

latest company case about FTTH Network  1

(1) Backbone cable subsystem

This refers to the optical cable distribution system between the central office optical distribution rack ODF connected to the fiber optic access equipment OLT and the user cable cross cabinet. In the fiber optic distribution equipment at both ends, the optical cables are terminated by thermal fusion and spliced with each other using cable tails.

 

(2) Distribution cable subsystem

This refers to the fiber optic cable between the optical cross cabinet and the "fiber optic distribution box" inside the user's building. This is an optical distribution panel that directly connects the input cable and the output cable "back-to-back", usually with the splitting equipment also placed inside.

 

(3) Optical splitter (PLC)

PLC splitter is a "fiber optic multiplexing device" that "multiplex" the channels of a single fiber optic cable into multiple channels, with a typical splitting ratio of 1:8, 1:16; 1: 32 and 1:64.

 

In the FTTH system of EPON mode, due to the transmission rate of 1.2Gb/s, the most commonly used splitting ratio is 1:32 to ensure that the user bandwidth reaches 30Mb/s or more.

 

According to their installation location, splitters can be packed by different type, including ABS module splitter, splitter tray, Splitter cassette,etc, and the connectors can be SC LC FC ST according to different customer request.

 

Advantages of FTTH Network

  • FTTH is a passive network, can basically achieve passivity from the central office to the users;
  • FTTH bandwidth is relatively wide, which perfectly fits the large-scale usage of operators over long distances;
  • Due to its wide bandwidth, it supports flexible protocols;
  • With the development of technology, relatively complete functions have been developed for point-to-point, 1.25G, and FTTH methods.

 

In the optical access family, there are FTTB (Fiber To The Building) fiber to the building, FTTC (Fiber To The Herb) fiber to the roadside, FTTSA (Fiber To The Service Area) fiber to the service area, and so on.

latest company case about FTTH Network  2

 

Directly connecting fiber optic cables to users' homes has no limitations on bandwidth, wavelength, and transmission technology types, making it suitable for introducing various new services. It is the most ideal business transparent network and the ultimate way for access network development.

 

Although the development speed of mobile communication is astonishing, due to its limited bandwidth, terminal size cannot be too large, and limited display screens, people still pursue fixed terminals with relatively superior performance, that is, hoping to achieve fiber to the home. The charm of FTTH lies in its huge bandwidth. It is the best solution to the "last mile" bottleneck from the Internet backbone to the user's desktop.

 

FAQ

What is fiber to the home?

Fiber to the home is a type of fiber optic access application that installs ONUs in the location of home users or businesses.

 

What services does FTTH provide?

FTTH is a comprehensive access solution for all services, allowing users to enjoy multiple services simultaneously, including video, data, broadcasting, and multimedia.

 

What technology does FTTH use?

Currently, GPON and EPON are the main technologies for FTTH PON network. GPON has stronger ability to support multiple services and better transmission efficiency.

 

How does FTTH work?

There are two ways to develop FTTH, including active optical networks (AON) and passive optical networks (PON).

 

Due to PON being a pure dielectric network, it has a natural ability to resist electromagnetic interference. This leads to fewer access network failures, higher system reliability, and lower maintenance costs. In addition, FTTH in PON mode supports multiple applications and is suitable for large-scale expansion of user groups.

 

Therefore, the number of access network failure points is reduced, the system reliability is high, and the maintenance cost is low. Meanwhile, the FTTH of passive optical network has good transparency and can support multiple standard applications, making it more suitable for user scale development. Passive optical networks are gradually becoming the mainstream development direction of FTTH.

 

What equipment does FTTH need?

The equipment used by FTTH mainly includes optical network terminals (OLT) and optical network units (ONU). The former is deployed in the ISP's office, while the latter is placed at the terminal. FTTH involves multiple industries such as indoor fiber optics, engineering, and applications, and is of great significance in the telecommunications and information industries.

 

Yingda can offer all types of fiber optic passive products in FTTH network: fiber optic distribution box, cross cabinet, ODF, fiber optic distribution cable, drop cable, and ONU, media converter, optical transceiver, WDM, optical splitter, patch cord and pigtails, etc. Welcome inquiry to sales@yingdapc.cn.
