Quick Facts about Cable Systems Fiber

1. What is Fiber-To-The-Home technology?
Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) technology is the delivery of information through pulses of light over a fiber optic network directly to the end-user. No other technology can match the extreme amount of information delivered by a 100% fiber optic system. Cable Systems Fiber is a 100% fiber optic network in St George.

2. How is Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) technology different than what I have now?
It’s all in the infrastructure. Cable Systems Fiber offers a 100% fiber optic connection, while companies using partial fiber systems still rely on copper wire to deliver signals over extended distances, leading to poor signal quality. Only a FTTH network can carry high bandwidth signals over long distances using light, which has no interference issues and will deliver superior products.

3. Why do I need fiber optic technology when the signals travel over my existing wiring once the information reaches my house?
Copper cabling is an efficient means of delivering information over very short distances. However, networks that rely on partial fiber-to-copper infrastructure are subjected to extreme bottlenecking of information due to a limited amount of available bandwidth. They are susceptible to interference of radio frequencies (RF) and must continuously “refresh” or strengthen the signal to deliver it to the consumer’s home. FTTH networks have virtually limitless bandwidth, which allows free flowing of information at the speed of light. Signals over fiber can travel greater distances without having to be refreshed and are not subject to RF interference.
