A schematic illustrating how the FTTX architectures vary with regard to the distance between the
optical fiber and the end-user.
Fiber to the x (FTTX) is a generic term for any network architecture that uses optical fiber to
replace all or part of the usual copper local loop used for telecommunications. The four
technologies, in order of an increasingly longer fiber loop are:
¾
Fiber to the node / neighborhood (FTTN)
¾
Fiber to the curb (FTTC) / Fiber to the kerb (FTTK)
¾
Fiber to the building (FTTB)
¾
Fiber to the home (FTTH)
The building on the left is the central office; the building on the right is one of the buildings served
by the central office. The white or gray blocks represent separate rooms or office spaces within
the same building.
A
: Central Office of ISP
B
: Network connection via optical fiber
C
: Installation of XG2 for media conversion
D
: Network connection via copper wire. It can be Cat. 6a cable (under 300 meters) or telephone
line via xDSL (Technologies such as VDSL provide high speed, short-range link are used often in
FTTx service)
E
: Different rooms of home or different compartments in the same building.
F
: XG2 can be located at any place that near or away from building, depending on the service to
