FTTH (Fiber-to-the-Home) is a type of FTTx (Fiber-to-the-X) technology that brings fiber optic cables directly to individual homes and residences. With FTTH, fiber optic cables are run from the service provider's central office to a termination point inside the customer's home or building. From there, a network interface device (NID) or optical network terminal (ONT) converts the fiber optic signal into a format that can be used by the customer's devices.
FTTH provides several advantages over traditional copper-based networks, including:
Higher Speeds: FTTH provides much faster internet speeds than traditional copper-based networks, with typical speeds ranging from 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps.
Greater Reliability: FTTH is more reliable and less susceptible to interference than traditional copper cables, leading to a more stable and consistent connection.
Increased Bandwidth: FTTH allows for greater bandwidth capacity, enabling service providers to offer new services like IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) and Video on Demand.
Distance Independence: FTTH can transmit data over much longer distances than copper cables without losing signal strength, enabling service providers to reach customers in remote areas.

FTTH is considered the gold standard for broadband connectivity, providing the highest possible speeds and reliability for end-users. However, the deployment of FTTH can be expensive, requiring significant investment in infrastructure and installation. As a result, FTTH is often limited to urban or suburban areas with high population density and a strong business case for deployment.
FTTB (Fiber-to-the-Building) is a type of FTTx (Fiber-to-the-X) technology that brings fiber optic cables directly to a multi-dwelling unit or office building, typically up to a centralized distribution point or server room. From there, copper or other media can be used to connect individual apartments or offices to the network.
