What are the latest trends and innovations in fiber distribution cabinet technology and functionality?
Fiber to the x (FTTx) is a term that covers various types of broadband network architectures that use optical fiber to deliver high-speed data and services to homes, businesses, and other premises. One of the key components of FTTx networks is the fiber distribution cabinet (FDC), which is a device that connects the main fiber cable to the individual fiber strands that serve the end users. FDCs are usually installed outdoors, in cabinets or poles, and need to withstand harsh environmental conditions, vandalism, and maintenance challenges. In this article, we will explore some of the latest trends and innovations in FDC technology and functionality, and how they can improve the performance, reliability, and efficiency of FTTx networks.
