The continual expansion of broadband networks and the resulting set up of fiber to the home (FTTH) infrastructures make network organizers adopt powerful management and planning systems. Fiber optic splitter termination box is a small part of this system. Today, this post mainly focuses on the basics of splitter termination box and its benefits. Fiber […]

How to Set up Wireless Network?
A wireless network is completely wireless, which means that any device with a WiFi networking card installed will be able to access the Internet provided you have the right password. Wireless networks are surely convenient for the daily life. This post tells about the things you should consider before building the wireless network, and then […]
PON Fault Scenarios and Troubleshooting Basics
A PON network consists of an OLT connected via a PON splitter to multiple ONTs (one for each subscriber, up to 64 subscribers). Sometimes, a second splitter can be connected in cascade to the first splitter to dispatch services to buildings or residential areas, which has been introduced more clearly in the previous post “Understanding […]
Splice or Connector: Which to Choose for FTTH Drop Cable Installation?
When deploying a FTTH network, subscribers must choose the right drop cable interconnect solution. So they need to decide whether to use splices (permanent joint) or connectors (easily mated and unmated by hand) for the best solution. This is for both ends of the drop cable—the distribution point and at the home’s optical network terminal […]
Lower FTTH Cost and Increase Reliability With Tight Buffer Indoor/Outdoor Cable
FTTH (Fiber to the Home) network connects a large number of end users to a central point known as an access node to provide the application and services of high speed. The links between end users and access node are achieved largely by fiber optic cables. Loose buffer cables and tight buffer cables are commonly […]
Drop Cable and Its Termination in FTTH
FTTH (fiber to the home) networks are installed in many areas covering indoor section, outdoor section, as well as the transition in between. To fulfill the cabling requirements from different areas, different types of fiber optic cables are well developed. Drop cable as an important part of FTTH network forms the final external link between […]
