FAQs about FTTH cables

Fiber optics and FTTH are a big deal now. The ruling party of the country recently took pride in announcing that more than 50,000 villages in the country have been connected to the fiber optics.

Here are the answers to some common questions raised by the audience about FTTH and their answers.

1. What is FTTH?

Answer: FTTH cables or Fiber to the Home technology is the technology used to deliver signals to the homes of the subscribers using optical fibers. This technology replaces the traditional copper wires in order to increase the speed and efficiency of the transmitted signals. The time taken by signals to travel through optical fibers is marginally less as compared to the time taken by traditional wires.

2. Why do we need FTTH?Answer: connecting optical fibers from the operator’s equipment all the way to the homes of the subscribers can increase the speed of their internet phenomenally.

3. How is this different from modems or DSL?

Answer: the speed provided through a modem or a DSL has been recorded to be an average of 2 megabits per second. Whereas FTTH increases this to around a 100 megabits per second. Secondly, the fiber optics can be considered more futuristic, since the technology is flexible enough to adjust to the changing times without changing their infrastructure. In cases of modems and DSLs, however, the infrastructure needs a huge change to adjust even the slightest change in the technology.

4. Is FTTH affordable?

Answer: one of the many good things about the FTTH technology is its affordability. Since the material used in such optical fibers and FTTH Drop cables is cheaper and more flexible, it can provide a 10 times better efficiency at an effectively lesser cost than the previous alternatives. The optical fibers can be spread at large distances without having the risk of corrosion or interference. This saves the cost of regularly replacing them.
