FTTC stands for Fibre to the Cabinet. It is a type of broadband connection where fibre optic cables run from the exchange to a street-side cabinet, and copper cables carry the signal from the cabinet to your home or business. Fiber optic internet, often referred to as "fiber to the home" (FTTH) or "fiber to the premises" (FTTP), represents the pinnacle of current broadband technology. Unlike traditional copper-based internet services like DSL or cable, fiber optics transmit data using pulses of light through incredibly. First of all the fibre doesn't connect to your router,it connects to an optical modem (ONT) that is fitted where the cable enters. Of course, I was aware of that having already investigated ONTs!Fiber to the cabinet is a connectivity technology that is based on a combination of fiber optic cable and copper cable. This mix of fibre and copper allows faster speeds than old-school ADSL.
