FTTH Access Network
Solving Last-Mile Fiber Delivery for Residential & Multi-Tenant Buildings
As gigabit broadband, smart home services, and cloud-based applications become standard, FTTH (Fiber to the Home) is the preferred access network architecture for residential communities and multi-tenant buildings (MDU/MTU). The real challenge lies in the last mile—how to deliver fiber efficiently from the building entry point to each living unit while ensuring reliability, scalability, and ease of maintenance.
Farsince provides a complete FTTH Access Network Solution for building infrastructure, integrating fiber backbone, distribution, in-building cabling, and end-user connectivity to simplify deployment and support long-term service growth.
Solution Overview
Efficient Fiber Delivery from Basement to Living Unit
Farsince’s FTTH solution is designed around three key objectives:
- Reliable Last-Mile Connectivity – Stable fiber links to every subscriber
- Scalable Building Infrastructure – Easy expansion for future bandwidth and tenants
- Clean & Manageable Deployment – Structured layouts for fast installation and maintenance
This makes it ideal for apartment buildings, residential communities, dormitories, hotels, and mixed-use developments.
FTTH Access Network Architecture (Building Infrastructure)
1. Building Entrance & Backbone Fiber
The backbone connects the service provider’s network to the building distribution system:
- Fiber Optic Cables – Single-mode fiber for long-distance, high-bandwidth transmission
- Fiber Optic Trunk Cables – Pre-terminated backbones for fast, consistent installation
- Fiber Distribution Frames (ODF) – Centralized fiber termination and management
- Fiber Tools – Cleaning, inspection, and testing to guarantee link quality
This layer ensures stable performance and future bandwidth upgrades without re-cabling.
2. Floor & Riser Distribution (Vertical Cabling)
Vertical distribution is critical in multi-story buildings:
- FTTH Components – Splitters, termination boxes, and distribution enclosures
- Fiber Optic Pigtails & Adapters – Flexible splicing and cross-connection
- MPO/MTP® Cables (where applicable) – High-density distribution for large MDUs
A structured riser design reduces fiber congestion and simplifies fault isolation.
3. In-Unit & Last-Drop Connectivity
From the floor distribution point to the subscriber’s living space:
- Fiber Optic Patch Cords – Reliable last-drop fiber connections
- Faceplates & Surface Boxes – Clean, user-friendly fiber outlets
- LAN Cables & Patch Cords – In-home Ethernet distribution from ONT to devices
This approach supports high-speed internet, IPTV, VoIP, and smart home services.
4. Equipment Rooms & Infrastructure Support
A professional FTTH deployment requires proper physical infrastructure:
- Cabinets – Organized housing for ODFs, splitters, and active equipment
- Cable Management Systems – Bend-radius control and tidy routing
- PDUs – Stable power for access equipment
- Network Testers & Tools – Installation certification and ongoing maintenance
