FTTH includes fiber-optic access solutions designed for residential deployments. In FTTH

networks, fibers are directly connected to individual homes or multitenant buildings. FTTH
includes various flavors of both PONs and PTP Ethernet-based solutions.

Fiber to the home (FTTH), also called fiber to the premises (FTTP), is the installation
and use of optical fiber from a central point to individual buildings to provide high-
speed internet access.

Who invented FTTH?

He is credited with inventing fiber optics, and is considered the 'Father of Fiber Optics'. Fortune named
him one of seven 'Unsung Heroes of the 20th century' for his Nobel Prize-deserving invention.

Is FTTH a shared network?

FTTH stands for Fiber To The Home. This technology is commonly referred to as shared
...

Is FTTH faster than cable?

Fiber optic internet speeds are about 20 times faster than regular cable at 1 Gbps.

What type of cable is FTTH?

Optical Fiber Cables Sizing in FTTH Network: Three types of optical fiber cable sizes are used to build up
FTTH networks. These are Feeder cable,Distribution Cables and Drop Cables.

What is fiber cable?

Answer: An optical fiber cable Is a cylindrical dielectric waveguide that operates at optical
frequencies. it confines the energy in the form of light within its surface and guides the flow of light
in a direction parallel to its axis.

Que.4 What is the working principle of optical fiber?

Answer: Optical fiber works on the principle of Total Internal Reflection. When a light ray
encounters a boundary separating two different dielectric mediums, part of the rays is reflected and
the remainder is bent or refracted it enters the second medium. so the reflection of light from the
boundary when light enters from a denser medium to a rarer medium is known as total internal
reflection.
 Que.5 What are the advantages of optical fiber communication?
Answer: Advantages of optical fiber communications are

  Large bandwidth
  Light-weight and small diameter
  Low loss.
  Less number of repeaters required.
  Low electromagnetic interference.
  Low cross-talk.
  High security.

Que.6 What are the disadvantages of optical fiber communication?
Answer: Disadvantages are:

 Not preferable for hilly terrains.

 initial installation cost is high, hence not preferable for low-density traffic.
 To lay down the cable in uneven terrain is difficult.

Is 5G faster than FTTH?

Fiber optic internet has a much higher bandwidth than a 5G network does. Thus, this makes it possible for
users to download files faster and stream video without any issues

How does FTTH work?

FTTH connects phone switches and data centers using fiber optic cable. It is resistant to interference (RFI
and EMI), noise, and crosstalk since it transmits information in the form of optical pulses rather than
electrical signals like those carried by a twisted pair of coaxial cables.

What are the elements of FTTH?

According the function, ODN from the central office to the client can be the combination of
following components :
 Optical Splitter.
 Fiber Optics Cables( feeder , Secondary ,home line cable )
 Fiber Termination Cabinet(FTC) or Fiber Distribution Hub(FDH)
 Fiber distribution Point(FDP)
 Rosette Box.
 Demarcation Box.ETC

 What is the basic architecture of the FTTH?

 The architecture typically begins with a 1x32 splitter placed inside the FDH, with the 32 split fibers
routed through distribution panels, splice ports, and/or access point connectors to the ONTs at 32
homes. A series of terminals make up the distribution side of the FDH.
What are the types of FTTH?
Two types of systems enable fiber optic cables to transmit data using light and make FTTH
possible: active optical networks (AONs) and passive optical networks (PONs).

What protocol does FTTH use?

GPON, or gigabit-capable PON, is the most popular version of FTTH PONs. GPON uses an IP-based
protocol and either ATM or GEM (GPON encapsulation method) encoding.

What is the maximum distance of FTTH?

FTTH - GPON. GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Networks) is an Optical System for the Access Networks,
based on ITU-T specifications G. 984 series. It can provide a 20 km reach with a 28dB optical budget
(shown in the following illustration) by using class B+ optics with 1:32 split ratio.

What is the speed limit for FTTH?

FTTH services currently offer download speeds of 3+ Gbps, as compared to cable / HFC with download
speeds of up to 1 Gbps, and copper-based DSL technologies which typically have maximum download
speeds of 100 Mbps.

What is a GPON port?

GPON full form is Gigabit Passive Optical Network. It is increasingly being used in FTTH and FTTP
networks to deliver voice, data and video services at gigabit speed. It is a standard for Passive Optical
Networks published by the ITU-T, used to provide last-mile fiber connections to the premises.

What are the 3 types of wavelength in FTTH?

The three main wavelengths used for fiber optic transmission are 850, 1300, and 1550 nanometers.
These wavelengths are used in fiber optics because they have the lowest attenuation of the fiber. The
length of a wave has a direct relationship with its attenuation rate − the longer the wave, the less
attenuation.

What are the risks of FTTH?

Cybersecurity threats and solutions

One of the main risks for FTTH networks is cyberattacks, such as hacking, malware, denial-of-service, or
data theft. These can compromise the privacy and integrity of your customers' data, disrupt your network
performance, or cause financial losse

What is PON in fiber-optic?

A passive optical network, or PON, uses fiber-optic technology to deliver data from a single source to
multiple endpoints. “Passive” refers to the use of optical fiber cables connected to an unpowered splitter,
which in turn transmits data from a service provider network to multiple customers.

What is the packet size of GPON?

GPON also uses a generic encapsulation method to carry other protocols. It can encapsulate Ethernet,
IP, TCP, UDP, T1/E1, video, VoIP, or other protocols as called for by the data transmission. Minimum
packet size is 53 bytes, and the maximum is 1518
 Why is 1550 nm used?
1550 nm is the ideal wavelength of choice due to its eye safe nature at high power. These high power
lasers give users higher fidelity, longer distances and more acurate results than any other option.

 . What are the Losses in fiber Transmission ? which are the major fiber optic tools and their
operation?

 Different types of losses that over in connecting fibers are:

1. Splicer losses: occur when 2 fibers are joined on a permanent basis. Losses should be
between 0.05 and 0.1 DB for the splice.
2. Connector losses: connectors are used to provide removable joints so as to allow easy fast
manual coupling and coupling of fibers. connector losses are high and could be 0.2 to 0.3 dB
per connector.
 Fresnel reflection loss-It is associated with the step change and refractive index of the jointed
surface.
 How will you define Attenuation in optical fibers?
 Answer: Attenuation means the loss of signal power due to propagation. Attenuation takes
place in optical fiber due to various reasons like couplers, splicers, and connectors.

What is an optical communication system?

Answer: The communication system in which electrical information is carried by electromagnetic
waves in the optical region ranging from about wavelength of 50 nanometers to approximately 100-
micrometer wavelength is called an optical communication system.

 Q3. What is LSPM
 Light Source Power Meter
 What is the use of LSPM?
 An LSPM determines the total light loss along a fiber link by using a known light source at one
end of the fiber and a power meter at the other. But before the test can be done, as described
earlier, a reference power level from the source is measured and recorded to set a baseline for
the power loss calculation.
