FTTO and FTTH, standing for “fiber to the office” and “fiber to the home,” are not familiar concepts to everyone. They refer to two distinct types of fiber connections. FTTO is a dedicated fiber line that guarantees exceptional bandwidth performance, while FTTH is a shared fiber connection offering lower quality. Here’s a closer look at these two types of fiber and their differences.
FTTO stands for fiber to the office, meaning fiber directly to the workplace. But how exactly does FTTO work, and what does this dedicated fiber connection offer?
Unlike other types of fiber, FTTO relies solely on fiber optic connections. Gone are copper networks or connections using coaxial cables or fiber/coaxial combinations — FTTO is a dedicated and exclusive fiber connection. It is also referred to as end-to-end or point-to-point fiber. Indeed, by choosing FTTO, a company benefits from a direct connection between its premises and the network. The client is therefore connected directly to the operator’s network, unlike FTTH, where the fiber is shared among several residential or business buildings.
By choosing dedicated fiber for your company, you benefit from a direct connection. This provides you with numerous advantages:

FTTH, short for fiber to the home, is a shared fiber optic solution. Unlike FTTO, which is dedicated and therefore exclusive, FTTH is shared and does not offer the same level of performance. FTTH is therefore primarily intended for residential users.
FTTH is a fiber optic solution that serves multiple subscribers. Individuals (and some businesses) subscribing to an FTTH plan share bandwidth from the network’s mutual access point. Unlike FTTO, FTTH subscribers must share the network beyond the mutualization point.
With an FTTH plan, the connection is shared, meaning subscribers use the same network and therefore do not benefit from the same performance levels as with dedicated FTTO fiber. As a result, FTTH bandwidth speeds are more variable. The service restoration guarantees (SLAs) in the event of an outage also differ significantly. A 4-hour SLA is essential to maintain business continuity, whereas with FTTH, this delay can extend to several days. While these offers may be sufficient for some businesses, they are primarily intended for residential users.
By choosing Nexloop, you benefit from dedicated FTTO fiber solutions. This ensures exclusive bandwidth for your business, ultra-low latency, ultra-high-speed connectivity, and service restoration guarantees (SLAs) within just a few working hours. Choosing Nexloop also means opting for optimal service quality and guaranteed symmetrical bandwidth.
