FTTC

Internet access - Fiber to the home 1 Fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) is one member of the Fiber-to-the-x (FTTx) family that includes Fiber-to-the-building or basement (FTTB), Fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP), Fiber-to-the-desk (FTTD), Fiber-to-the- curb (FTTC), and Fiber-to-the-node (FTTN)

Fiber to the x - Definitions 1 FTTC / FTTK (fiber-to-the-curb/kerb, -closet, or -cabinet): This is very similar to FTTN, but the street cabinet or pole is closer to the user's premises, typically within 1,000 feet (300 m), within range for high-bandwidth copper technologies such as wired ethernet or IEEE 1901 power line networking and wireless Wi-Fi technology. FTTC is occasionally ambiguously called FTTP (fiber- to-the-pole), leading to confusion with the distinct fiber-to-the-premises system.

Fiber to the x - Definitions 1 To promote consistency, especially when comparing FTTH penetration rates between countries, the three FTTH Councils of Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific agreed upon definitions for FTTH and FTTB in 2006, with an update in 2009 and another in The FTTH Councils do not have formal definitions for FTTC and FTTN.

Fiber to the x - Fiber to the node 1 (If the cabinet serves an area of less than 1,000 ft (300 m) in radius, the architecture is typically called FTTC/FTTK.)

Fiber to the x - Fiber to the curb (also known as fiber to the cabinet) 1 Fiber to the curb (FTTC) is a telecommunications system based on fiber- optic cables run to a platform that serves several customers. Each of these customers has a connection to this platform via coaxial cable or twisted pair. The "curb" is an abstraction and can just as easily mean a pole-mounted device or communications closet or shed. Typically any system terminating fiber within 1,000 ft (300 m) of the customer premises equipment would be described as FTTC.

Fiber to the x - Fiber to the curb (also known as fiber to the cabinet) 1 FTTC allows delivery of broadband services such as highspeed internet. Usually existing wire is used with communications protocols such as broadband cable access (typically DOCSIS) or some form of DSL connecting the curb/cabinet and the customers. In these protocols, the data rates vary according to the exact protocol used and according to how close the customer is to the cabinet.

Fiber to the x - Fiber to the curb (also known as fiber to the cabinet) 1 Power line networking deployments also rely on FTTC. Using the IEEE P1901 protocol (or its predecessor HomePlug AV) existing electric service cables move up to 1Gbit/s from the curb/pole/cabinet into every AC electrical outlet in the home – coverage equivalent to a robust Wi-Fi implementation, with the added advantage of a single cable for power and data.

Fiber to the x - Fiber to the curb (also known as fiber to the cabinet) 1 FTTC is subtly distinct from FTTN or FTTP (all are versions of fiber in the loop). The main difference is the placement of the cabinet. FTTC will be placed near the "curb", which differs from FTTN placed far from the customer, and FTTP placed directly at the serving location.

Fiber to the x - Fiber to the curb (also known as fiber to the cabinet) 1 Unlike FTTP, FTTC can use the existing coaxial, twisted-pair or AC power line infrastructure to provide last-mile service. The G.hn and IEEE P1905 efforts were attempts to unify these existing cables under one management protocol.

Fiber to the x - Fiber to the curb (also known as fiber to the cabinet) 1 By avoiding new cable and its cost and liabilities, FTTC costs less to deploy. However, it also has historically had lower bandwidth potential than FTTP. In practice, the relative advantage of fiber depends on the bandwidth available for backhaul, usage- based billing restrictions that prevent full use of last-mile capabilities, and customer premises equipment and maintenance restrictions, and the cost of running fiber that can vary widely with geography and building type.

Fiber to the x - Fiber to the curb (also known as fiber to the cabinet) 1 Existing FTTC plant may be removed and replaced with FTTP

Fiber to the x - Fiber to the curb (also known as fiber to the cabinet) 1 However, the largest 1Gbit/s deployment in the United States, in Chattanooga, Tennessee, despite being conducted by power utility EPB, was FTTH rather than FTTC, reaching every subscriber in a 600- square-mile area

Fiber to the x - Fiber to the curb (also known as fiber to the cabinet) 1 In effect FTTC serves as a halfway measure between fixed wireless and FTTH, with special advantages for smart appliances and electric vehicles that rely on PLC use already.

Fiber to the x - Fiber to the premises 1 Fiber to the premises (FTTP) is a form of fiber-optic communication delivery, in which an optical fiber is run in an optical distribution network from the central office all the way to the premises occupied by the subscriber. The term "FTTP" has become ambiguous and may also refer to FTTC where the fiber terminates at a utility pole without reaching the premises.

Contention ratio - Specific examples by country 1 In the United Kingdom|UK, an RADSL (Rate Adaptive Digital Subscriber Line) connection used to be marketed with a contention ratio between 20:1 and 50:1 within the BT network, meaning that 20 to 50 subscribers, each assigned or sold a bandwidth of up to 8 Mbit/s for instance, may be sharing 8 Mbit/s of uplink bandwidth.A good account of the state of the issue in the UK is found in a [ ency_scheme/ses /ay4463a/rp_anx/ay4463a_anx.pdf 2004 OFCOM report on wireless internet.] With the advent of ADSL2+ (up to 20Mbit/s service), FTTC (Fibre to the Cabinet) offering 40Mbit/s services and even FTTP (Fibre to the Premises) offering 100Mbit/s, BT no longer work on contention ratio as a planning rule.
