There are many architectures for deploying “fiber in the loop”, where “loop” refers to the “subscriber loop”, the last length of cable between a network provider and a subscriber. FITL architectures vary from deploying fiber feeder plant (between central office and remote terminal site); fiber-to-the-curb (FITC); and, ultimately fiber-to-the-home (FITH) where the optical network unit (ONU) is located at each home. Hybrid Fiber Coax (HFC) architectures have emerged to reduce implementation costs.
