Multimode fiber optic cables allow multiple light paths (modes) to carry data simultaneously. This capability results in more data transmission over shorter distances compared to single mode fibers. Fiber to the home (FTTH) is the installation and use of optical fiber from a central point to individual buildings to provide high-speed internet access. FTTB — Fiber to the Building: Fiber terminates at the building's communication room or basement, then. A fiber optic cable (frequently shortened to “fiber cable”) is a specialized transmission medium crafted to carry data as light pulses through ultra-thin strands of glass or plastic known as optical fibers. Still, a number of other terminologies and architectures exist including fiber to the premises (FTTP), fiber to the node (FTTN), fiber. FTTH stands for “fiber to the home”, meaning all the way to the house or apartment. [pdf]
