FTTO Network: Cost-effective Cabling Infrastructure Solution for Modern Office
FTTO (Fiber-to-the-Office) is a cost-effective cabling and future-proof networking infrastructure solution for modern office environments. It combines the advantages of highly efficient fiber optic cable with the flexibility of twisted pair cable. This article provides some knowledge about FTTO. What is FTTO? FTTO is a standard-compliant and decentralized cabling concept for modern office environments. It combines fiber optic cable with a copper cable to provide a Gigabit Ethernet connection. FTTO uses future-proof fiber optic cables for riser cabling and horizontal wiring. Copper cable only comes to play to connect terminal equipment like workstations, VoIP-Phones and IP cameras. As a result, the FTTO switches offer rich power management functions like Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) and energy-efficient Ethernet. The vision of FTTO Network The vision of the FTTO network is to implement fiber optic cables for the horizontal floor cabling, allowing the end users to connect their equipme...
