Fiber to the Home (FTTH) is regarded as the cornerstone for achieving high-speed, high-quality broadband access.
An FTTH network connects the service provider’s central office to individual homes through multiple stages:
Core Network – Optical signals originate from the service provider’s central hub and are transmitted via backbone cables.
Distribution Network – Fiber cables are routed through Fiber Distribution Hubs (FDH) and Main Distribution Frames, distributing signals across communities.
Access Network – Using Air Blown or Mini Uni-tube Cables, fiber is installed into ducts or microtubes to each building or home.
Customer Premises – Inside the home, fibers terminate in an ONT (Optical Network Terminal), providing ultra-fast broadband access for multiple devices.
Our engineers can provide technical consultation and customized FTTH design plans based on your infrastructure layout and deployment needs.

Air blown fiber cable, also known as ABF (Air Blown Fiber), has become a strategic technology for network builders who seek flexibility, speed, and minimal disruption during expansion.
Fiber is categorized into two main fiber types based on the way light travels through the fiber: Single-Mode Fiber (SMF) and Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF).
As global demand for high-speed broadband continues to rise, FTTH (Fiber to the Home) solutions have become the cornerstone of modern telecommunication networks. From large urban projects to rural connectivity and industrial campus networks, FTTH offers unmatched advantages in bandwidth, stability, and long-term scalability.
This Knowledge Center of FTTH Solutions provides a comprehensive overview tailored to network planners, telecom operators, contractors, and distributors. Combining years of manufacturing experience and industry best practices, this guide covers network architecture, key components, application scenarios, and product selection—helping you build reliable and future-proof FTTH systems.
A complete FTTH solution consists of four major layers, each supported by specific optical cable structures, connectivity hardware, and active equipment.
| Layer | Key Components | Description |
|---|---|---|
| OLT Layer (Central Office) | OLT, ODF frames, fiber management | Located in the data center or telecom room; manages signal distribution and user access. |
| Feeder Network (Main Cable Layer) | Outdoor fiber optic cables (ADSS, armored, GYTA/GYTS) | High-capacity routes connecting OLT to distribution points. Designed for long-distance outdoor environments. |
| Distribution Network | Fiber distribution cabinets (FDC), splice closures, PLC splitters | Distributes fiber from feeder routes to buildings or neighborhoods. |
| Drop Network (Last Mile) | FTTH drop cable, optical termination boxes, SC connectors, ONT | Delivers fiber from the distribution point to the user’s home or office. |
This hierarchical structure ensures optimized performance, low attenuation, and long-life stability for both large and small FTTH deployments.
As a manufacturer with more than 23 years of fiber optic production experience, Honelinks delivers end-to-end FTTH products including outdoor cables, connectivity hardware, enclosures, FTTH drop cables, optical transceivers, and accessories.
Fiber optic cables are the backbone of every FTTH project. Honelinks uses high-quality LSZH and TPU jackets instead of PVC, ensuring safety, durability, and compliance with global standards.

The Knowledge Center of FTTH Solutions is designed to help engineers, planners, and procurement teams understand and deploy efficient FTTH networks with confidence. Backed by more than 23 years of fiber optic manufacturing experience, Honelinks provides complete FTTH products—from outdoor cables and air-blown micro cables to fiber distribution cabinets, FTTH drop cables, splitters, ODF, and ONT/OLT devices.
A full FTTH deployment typically includes optical fiber cables, drop cables, ONU/ONT, optical splitters, fiber distribution boxes (FDB), ODF/FDH cabinets, patch cords, pigtails, splice closures, connectors, transceivers, and supporting accessories.
HONELINKS provides end-to-end ODN products including outdoor fiber optic cables, FTTH drop cables, distribution boxes, splice closures, and optical transceivers.
FTTH commonly uses:
Outdoor Cables: ADSS, Armored Cable, Mini-Cable, Air-blown Cables
Indoor Cables: FTTH Drop Cable (GJXFH, GJXH), Simplex/Duplex
Micro Cables: EPFU, Micro Duct Air-Blown Cable
HONELINKS focuses on outdoor cables (ADSS, armored, underwater) and FTTH drop cables for last-mile connections.

Consider:
Installation method (aerial, duct, direct burial, air-blown)
Required fiber count
Tensile strength & environmental conditions
Waterproofing, rodent protection
Compliance standards (IEC, ITU-T, ISO9001)
HONELINKS recommends ADSS for aerial, armored cables for direct burial, and air-blown micro-cables for duct networks.
An FTTH Fiber Distribution Box (FDB) serves as the interface between outdoor feeder cables and indoor drop cables.
It provides:
Fiber splicing, splitting, distribution
SC adapter ports
Protection for fibers & connections
Easy installation for FTTX networks
Optical splitters (1×2, 1×4, 1×8, 1×16, 1×32, 1×64) divide optical signals from the OLT in PON networks.
Two types:
PLC Splitters – high precision, stable loss
FBT Splitters – economical, suitable for small applications
ADSS cables for long spans and no power environments
Armored outdoor cables for rodent-prone or underground areas
IP65/66 FTTH Distribution Boxes for outdoor exposure
High-strength splice closures for waterproof protection
Best practices include:
Choose LSZH / PE jackets suitable for UV and temperature resistance
Use waterproof, armored, or gel-filled cables where needed
Select closures with strong sealing (IP68)
Perform regular OTDR testing
Ensure proper splicing, bending radius, and cable management
