    Summary

    Deployment of FTTH networks requires a great deal of planning and construction, including rollout of trunk, distribution and drop/access cables. Building a distribution network allows service providers to claim they have passed homes, but the actual connection of homes with drop cables is what leads to steady revenue and return on investment. 

    After a brief review on architectures and cable selection for FTTH PON distribution networks, this webinar will dive deeply into guidelines for selecting OSP drop cables for the final connection to the customer premises. The chief factors to consider are the right-of-way for deployment, and how the drop cable is terminated at both the distribution end and subscriber end. These factors will affect deployment cost, deployment speed, system performance and maintenance/troubleshooting costs. For each deployment scenario, examples of suitable cables will be presented.
