The difference between FTTH and FTTB

What is FTTH?

The full name of FTTH is "Fiber to The Home", which means that fiber to the home is to pull the fiber to your home, unlike FTTR, which is pulled into each node in your home. The home broadband we install now basically adopts the FTTH access method.

Features: Fiber to the home can greatly improve the overall Internet speed. Compared with traditional copper cable access, downloading large files and online video calls will become extremely smooth. Applicable scenarios: In general residential areas, family members concentrate on daily web browsing, video playback, online learning, etc., providing a stable and fast network experience.

What is FTTB?

That is, "Hybrid Fiber-Coaxial", which is a hybrid fiber-coaxial cable technology. The optical fiber is only pulled to your building, and then redistributed to each household through the copper wire or other methods in the building.

Features: It combines optical fiber and coaxial cable. When renovating and upgrading in some old communities or remote areas where coaxial cables have been laid, the cost is relatively low. The Internet speed is average. Applicable scenarios: multi-family buildings, campuses, small rental houses, which do not require high network speed but hope to have a relatively stable network for daily social entertainment and simple work needs. FTTB is a more economical and affordable choice.
