What does mixed fiber mean
Fiber to the Cabinet (FTTC) mixed copper fiber is a broadband connection technology that uses a combination of fiber optic and copper cables to provide high-speed Internet services to end users.
One of the main benefits of FTTC fiber is that it allows providers to offer faster broadband connections to people living in areas where FTTH fiber is not yet available.
The FTTC connection, or Fiber to the Cabinet, is defined as such because the fiber optic cables are used to connect the transmission center to the cabinet on the road, called precisely the cabinet. From there, the connection is transferred over a copper cable that will reach the modem in the end user's home, the speed of the connection will depend on the distance between the home and the telephone exchange, let's see why below.
Mixed fiber speed
FTTC mixed fiber allows for faster download and upload speeds than traditional copper connections, but generally does not achieve the performance of an FTTH connection, where the optical fiber arrives directly into the 'home.
It is precisely this last stretch of connection between the cabinet and the modem that is subject to signal dispersion if the house is far from the cabin, this would slow down the connection. Although the speed is not that of FFTH fiber, FTTC copper mixed fiber represents a valid alternative since it still manages to ensure a stable connection suitable for working from home or watching your favorite TV series.
