FTTH
stands for Fibre to the Home. It is simple to understand set-up – from a
centralized hub, optical cables go out to reach directly to the premises where
a connection is requested. Such connections enable higher speeds than
conventional connections, and last longer Fibre optics. This blog shall
highlight some advantages of the FTTH cable.
Advantage
#1: Speed like whoosh!
The
basic requirement from Internet today is speed. Slow Internet is worse than
none at all. The use of FTTH cables allows data transmission at unimaginably
high speeds. It makes life easier. Whether it is download or upload, speed
plays a very important role. It is the backbone of the structure of the
Internet. You can download movies in minutes and watch high definition videos
without any hiccups.
Advantage
#2: Better technology!
As
compared to copper cables, optical fibres are more efficient in transmission of
information. Copper cables are prone to corrosion, breakage, are slow in
transmissions, etc. With FTTH cables, the problem of corrosion is eliminated.
Advantage
#3: Go longer!
With
FTTH cables, longer transmission distances can be achieved without much losses.
With conventional technology that existed before these cables, joints were
necessary, and they reduced efficiency of the entire system.
Advantage
#4: Greater bandwidth!
Greater
bandwidth of FTTH cables allows greater capacity of data to be transmitted at
higher speeds and in lesser time.
Advantage
#5: No fireworks!
FTTH
cables are highly resistant to sparking. While copper cables react and corrode
quickly, FTTH cables last longer in the race.
All
these advantages make FTTH technology
superior to the conventional methods of connecting to the Internet.
