FTTC
Fiber To The Curb A transport architecture for providing interactive broadband services over fiber-optic networks, it specifically describes the transport of data streams from the central office to a neighborhood or business complex. Once in the neighborhood, the signal crosses a short distance on standard twisted-pair lines to individual homes or businesses. Because the distance is so short between the fiber's end and the subscriber's home, there is very little compromise on signal quality.
