Thank you!

FTTH and coming slowly. Businesses have been getting fiber to their Demarc zone in their MDFs for years.

Glad it was helpful!

You're welcome 😊

Glad you enjoyed

Industrial beats to it's own drum, they have many different standards than IT.

@@TechsavvyProductions here's the datasheet I found of the connector where the fiber is connected but not sure the part # of the cable itself. I wish to get a good tester and light source but I don't even know the type/name of the fiber cable end www.mouser.ca/datasheet/2/678/AV02_1501EN_HFBR_0500Z_DS-1827987.pdf

jfbeam: you are sharper than a tack! It was OM1 not OS1 and yes we had ST connectors. They had to pull new fiber for our uplinks going from IDFs to MDFs. Thanks for the correction.... again!!!

Great question! Fiber to the home FTTH, can use a type of "modem" (taking light and converting to video/ethernet), a better term would be a media converter. LAN to Data Center/ISP fiber uses a media converter taking ethernet to fiber, this is simplistic answer, it can be much more complex.

@@TechsavvyProductions when do you think most of the nation will switch to fiber networks ? Because i think its taking too long

Getting Local-City-State permits to dig or hang cable as well as the cost in man power to to rollout make it difficult and slow.

Great Question: DOCSIS is the answer: see my video on kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fLdxl6qlsrnKaYk.html DOCSIS (Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification) enables multiple users to share a single coaxial or fiber-optic cable run for internet access. It does this through a combination of techniques: Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM): This is the most fundamental aspect of DOCSIS. Different channels on the cable are allocated for different purposes (e.g., one for downstream data, another for upstream data, and others for traditional TV services). Each channel operates at a different frequency, allowing multiple types of data to coexist on the same cable. Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) and/or Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA): For the upstream, DOCSIS typically uses TDMA, where different time slots are allocated to different users, effectively allowing them to take turns in sending data. This is common in earlier versions of DOCSIS (up to 3.0). DOCSIS 3.1 introduced OFDMA, which is more efficient as it allows simultaneous data transmission from multiple users by dividing the spectrum into smaller frequency blocks. Dynamic Allocation of Bandwidth: The Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) at the service provider's end can dynamically allocate bandwidth to different users based on demand. This is crucial for managing network congestion and ensuring fair access to resources. Quality of Service (QoS) Management: DOCSIS can prioritize certain types of traffic (like VoIP or video streaming) to ensure a smooth user experience, even when the network is busy. Encryption and Privacy: To ensure that users cannot access each other's data, DOCSIS includes encryption protocols (like BPI+ in DOCSIS 3.0). These technologies collectively enable high-speed data transmission over the shared medium of coaxial or fiber-optic cables, accommodating many users with varying bandwidth needs while maintaining network stability and efficiency.

Craig, all transceivers that support MPO/MTP connectors are female. Patch cables are male to male and patch bays are female. This video did not cover the extensive topic of MPO/MTP but keep an eye on the channel as I am working on a future video on just this very comprehensive subject. I hope that will answer you great questions! Thanks for watching and for the comments.
