Definition
FITL(Fiber In The Loop) is an application of optical fiber transmission in access networks. The fiber optic lines placed in the pair of wires that run from the central office to the system at the customer location. In general, fiber is used in either all or part of the local loop distribution network. FITL can be implemented with any FTTX architecture, such as fiber to the cabinet (FTTC), fiber to the node (FTTN), and fiber to the premises (FTTP).
Classication of FITL
- FTTX
- Passive Optical Network(Point-to-Multipoint)
Elements of FITL System
FITL system consists of the following elements:
- OLT (Optical Line Termination) – termination of the optical line, sometimes called HDT (Host Digital Termination)
- ONU (Optical Network Unit) – optical network unit
- ODN (Optical Distribution Network) – optical distribution network
Advantages & Limitations of FITL
Advantages
- Less maintenance
- Immune to environmental factors
- Capacity increase simpler
- Planning/engineering easier
- future proof
- less space requirement
Limitations
- Avaliability of reliable power supply
- No major demand for broadband services
- Capital investment
