What is FTTH?

Fiber to the Home, or FTTH, delivers cable services over fiber optics.  FTTH is also known as Fiber to the Premises (FTTP)

• FTTH delivers video, voice and data

• Optical fiber is used instead of coaxial cable

• Energy management and conservation

• Now available in more than 15 percent of homes;more than 9 million connected in North America

• High bandwidth capability to subscribers

• Offering 100 Mbps today

• 1 and 10 Gbps options available

• 40 and 100 Gbps options being tested

Benefits of FTTx

FTTx improves efficiency by delivering cable services over fiber optics.

• Fiber to the premises is extremely cost effective in rural areas

• Improved overall reliability and reduced signal egress

• No power required for active devices and battery power supplies in the outside plant (OSP)

• Backup power for consumer premises equipment becomes the responsibility of the subscriber

Benefits of FTTx

FTTx has many advantages by delivering cable services over fiber optics.

• An attractive option to coax, with customer perception that fiber is more valuable

• Fiber optimizes CapEx and reduces OpEx

• Optical fiber “future proofs” networks to allow for increased bandwidth over the same installed fiber

• Knowledge of FTTx provides additional skills to cable installers and engineers, which can help open the door for new opportunities

Drivers for FTTH

Question:  In your opinion, what technologies are driving FTTH?  

• IP video services like IPTV

• Over the top (OTT) services like video consumption

• Increased use of HD video

• UHD 4K video w/ HDR

• Internet of Things (IoT)

What is Fiber to the Node (FTTN)?

Fiber to the Node (FTTN) is a broadband network architecture that uses optical fiber from the headend or hub site to a node in the outside plant (OSP). FTTN is also known as Hybrid Fiber Coax (HFC).

Essential Knowledge for Cable Professionals™© SCTE

• RF signals can pass through; air, coaxial cable and fiber optic strands

– RFoG can be viewed as “coaxial glass”, since only one strand is used for both forward &  return paths, but on different wavelengths

• RFoG is a standard developed by the SCTE                                                              as SCTE 174 in 2010 to address the use of optical fiber to the premises

– Allows reuse of headend and consumer premises equipment

• RFoG spans from the headend, or hub, directly to the subscriber and use the same modulation schemes as HFC networks

• Greenfield is less expensive than new HFC

• CapEx is spread across plant (60%) and subscriber (40%)

• Coaxial has 140 times the loss of fiber 

• An economical solution for rural areas

• Typically lower maintenance costs – no yearly sweep and no need for RF amplifiers approximately every 1000’ 

• Lower power needs, by as much as 75% in most cases, and some claim as much as 90%

• Typically, there are fewer trouble calls because there are no active devices from the headend/node

• Leakage in the downstream and ingress noise in the upstream is greatly reduced, if not eliminated

RFoG Benefits

Page 28: Chapter Presentation FTTx  · PDF fileFTTx improves efficiency by delivering cable services over fiber optics. • Fiber to the premises is extremely cost effective in

Essential Knowledge for Cable Professionals™© SCTE

• Preserves operator’s investments 

• Uses existing CMTS, laser transmitters, return path receivers, DOCSIS modems

• Uses current business processes and procedures for all services

• Supports DOCSIS 1.0 through 3.1

• Seamless upgrade for customers and operators 

• Other than the Passive Optical Network (PON) side, the same network architecture and initialization procedures in the headend/node and customer location are used

• Use additional wavelengths for PON overlay

What is DPoE?

“DOCSIS Provisioning of EPON (DPoE) specifications are a joint effort of Cable Television Laboratories (CableLabs), cable operators, vendors, and suppliers to support EPON technology using existing DOCSIS‐based back office systems and processes. DPoEv2.0 specifications augment the DPoE v1.0 specifications to provide requirements for additional service capabilities and corresponding provisioning and network management capabilities.”

DOCSIS® Provisioning of EPON (DPoE™) Specifications create an architecture and serve as necessary specifications for enabling Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) equipment to be provisioned using existing DOCSIS‐based provisioning systems and policies, and to provide network services over EPON access networks to business customers.

Summary• FTTx deployments are underway now.• The main technologies will be RFoG, EPON and

GPON. Many operators starting with RFoG, similar to HFC. Using RFoG pass-thru, operators will transition to PON style network.

• DPoE and DPoG allow MSOs to use their back office provisioning systems.
