Fiber to the Home and Building Diagram

This diagram illustrates the two main ways fiber optic internet is delivered to residential areas: Fiber to the Home (FTTH) and Fiber to the Building (FTTB). It shows a central fiber connection point from which lines extend. For FTTH, dedicated fiber lines run directly into each individual apartment or single-family home, providing a direct, high-speed connection. Conversely, FTTB involves a single fiber line reaching the building's basement, with existing internal wiring then used to distribute the signal to individual units, often utilizing technologies like DSL. It's a helpful visual explanation of fiber internet infrastructure.
