Insertion loss tests are primarily used to test FTTx PONs (Passive Optical network) during installation. Insertion loss testing may be performed on individual fiber segments as they’re installed (e.g. test feeder fiber from Central Office (CO) to Fiber Distribution Hub (FDH), test distribution fiber from FDH to AP, or test drop fiber from AP to […]
Overview A new White Paper by the FTTH Council Market Intelligence Committee finds European FTTH deployment cost estimates are highly accurate. That makes investing in fibre highly attractive. To determine whether the FTTH cost estimates used in European projects accurately represent the actual costs, the FTTH Council approached a wide selection of parties involved in […]
HFC and FTTH networks differ in that HFC extends fiber to a node within a mile of the home or business, while FTTH extends fiber all the way to the home or business—typically terminating the fiber at a customer premises device, which then provides service to devices in the home over copper lines, coaxial cable, […]
