Fiber To Home (FTTH)

Growing demand for high speed internet is the primary driver for the new access technologies which enable experiencing true broadband. It leads telecommunication operators to seriously consider the high volume roll-out of optical-fiber based access networks. They have to renew their access networks that are clearly becoming the bottleneck in terms of bandwidth. Therefore most telecommunication providers are currently withdrawing their legacy copper network, giving way to optical fiber networks. To allow faster connections, the optical fiber gets closer and closer to the subscriber. Fiber To The Home FTTH appears the most suitable choice for a long term objective: if the clients are wholly served by optical fibers, it will be easier to increase the bandwidth in the future [2]. FTTH is future proof solution for providing broadband services such as Video on demand, Online Gaming, HD TV
and VoIP.

FTTH networks require many different kinds of fiber optic cables, because such networks cover indoor and outdoor sections, but also the transition in between. To fulfil these requirements outdoor, indoor-outdoor as well as indoor fiber cable designs are necessary
