Optical fiber types

Ftth

The FTTH (Fiber to the Home) device directly connects fiber optics to the home subscriber. So this is the type of fiber with the connection the most efficient. The FTTH connection is the most scalable in terms of flows that FTTB or FTTLA connections. Internet access is very high speed. This network was established from the 2000s to the end of the 2010s.

The FTTH is also called FTTO (Fiber to the Office) when used by companies. The General Commission for French terminology and neology speaks of “DFA” (service by fiber from the subscriber).

Four operators French offer access to very high speed by optical fiber. Here is the classification of FTTH network suppliers according to their customers.

Supplier	Number of clients	Market shares
	960,000	67.4%
	223,000	45.6%
	185,000	13%
	57,000	4%

Fttb

The FTTB installation (Fiber to the Building) connects the fiber optic cable to the subscriber building. This will receive its Internet connection from other cables connected to this installation. It is therefore a kind of hybrid network that mixes optical fiber and coaxial cable.

The FTTB network makes it possible to offer several hundred Mbps of Internet debit. In France, this technology has met with great success.

Fftla

The FFTLA network (Fiber to the Last Amplifier) ​​provides internet access thanks to the television network. The connection goes through the fiber and a coaxial cable: the change is made Last optical connection knot (last amplifier).

This network, inherited from Numericable by SFR, allows low -cost deployment for the operator. La Poste Mobile also offers offers based on the FFTLA network. However, the FFTLA is less efficient and the connection flow is relatively mediocre.

Flow power with optical fiber

Flower with optical fiber is optimal. The quality of the flow is the best in the French network, we are talking about very high speed. Here is a table recalling the possibilities in terms of transmission speed.

For fiber, the average reception flow is at least 200 Mb/s and can go up up to 1Gb/s (1,000 Mbits/s). It can go up to 300 Mbits in emission (for example with Orange). The free operator even offers a flow that can reach 8GB/s With the Freebox Delta.

Use	Data download speed	Data sending speed
200 photos	3 seconds	12 seconds
1 album in mp3 format	1 second	1 second
1 Full HD movie	4 minutes	13 minutes 20 seconds
1 online video game	2 milliseconds	2 milliseconds

If the quality of the flow is close to your heart, know that the fiber optics is the best installation for you: the flow is 60 times higher with the fiber than with the ADSL.

In the future, fiber optics should allow you to best flows. Indeed, the fiber will become multicœur (up to 7 hearts instead of one today). Operators will then be able to offer flows of several hundred GB/S.

How to have the best flow with fiber ?

There is a large difference between the theoretical maximum speed and the real flow what the subscriber knows. In general, the customer will have a much lower real speed than the maximum flow, but for that this flow remains very high quality. To do this, you must refer to the NPERF barometer to find out the average flows depending on operators.

Supplier	Average flow (MB/S)
	453 Mb/s
	412 Mb/s
	392 MB/s
	333 Mb/s

Optical fiber history

Some historians bring back the first fibers to antiquity, when the Greeks transported light through glass tubes. However, before the 19th century, these fibers were only decorative. The first scientific optical fiber was developed by Jean-Daniel Colladon and Jacques Babinet who have managed to deflect the trajectory of light by internal reflection.

In 1880, Alexander Graham Bell then managed to transport light over 200 meters for his photophone. In 1927, Baird and Hansell have truly revolutionized this technology by using a fiber optics for television images. THE fibroscope, Developed in the 1950s, mainly served in the medical sector.

The first transmission of fiber optic data is officially attributed to Charles Kao and Georges Hockman in 1966. Optical fiber was subsequently developed in the 1970s by the company Corning Glass Works, located in the United States. The first city to be equipped with a fiber network is Chicago in 1977.
