Fiber to the Home, an access architecture with fiber running from the provider's central office or hub through feeder and distribution cables to a drop at each house, ending at an ONT on the wall. Most FTTH uses PON with passive splitters, though some networks run point-to-point fibers. The wider family is called FTTx, covering fiber to the premises, building, curb or node.
FTTH build in the subdivision is 400 passings, two 1x32 splitter cabinets and drops on demand.
