In Germany we usually do not have splitters in street cabinets and we splice all fibers 1:1 onto the main cables going to the POP. A bit more detailed: You will find there at least two 96F cables coming from the POP (which looks like a prefabricated garage containing all splitters, OLTs and upstream routers) and all micro cables going into the homes. Each microcable contains something between 2 or 24 fibers and is blown into a 7mm microduct. Further we have some 10mm spare pipes between the street cabinets for bypassing / reconnecting in case of broken cables. Usually we do not have cables in these ducts.

Same in Switzerland, all end users are connected to POP directly, no splitters in between. It is a bit more expensive (about 20-30% more), especially in more rural areas, but more future proof, and allows different ISPs to use fiber infrastructure easily. (There were some installations with splitters, but they are being converted, because technically they are illegal).

What he is referring to as "splitters" are most likely 32 channel CWDM breakouts. (hence the reference to "prisms"). Reduces the bulk of cable needed back to the central office.

@@pileofstuff This is GPON which does not have any CWDM components in the signal path. It operates bidirectional on a single fiber where the upstream is between 1290 and 1330 nm and the downstream is between 1480 and 1500 nm.

@@movax20h not sure where OP is posting from but here in the USA most are all private fiber networks.. though where I live the fiber infrastructure is provided by our power utility district and local ISPs can become providers on that network.

What you are calling an FDH we are calling a PFP (Primary Flexibility Point). On G-PON we are also using 32 port splitters, but on XGS-PON we are using 64 port splitters.

Cool. They just installed this by my house. Had no idea it could split 1 into 32. That’s awesome

Thanks for sharing the video! Could you please tell us more about the suitable scenarios for Fiber Optic Distribution Hubs? Thank you!

Always appreciative of these videos... I've never been to school for fiber just always learned from shadowing in the field. I've worked with a few cabinets but everything I've touched was so chaotic it was hard to understand what was going on. Keep up the good work on the videos brotha!!

Can you do a video on what to look out for with primes or other contractors? Like what are some red flags of bad business. You’re good and have been doing it along time so your word is trustworthy

Thank you for making this video.

YAY Spagetti !! So thats how they get from 1 cable to 32 connectors ! NICE !

Thanks for showing us the FDH! Are the yellow fibers on the lower right side in their "storage" locations for future use?

Can you please tell us more about the 36 bypass ports on top left/top right and the patch board blocks bottom left and bottom right?

Bottom is likely the “Parking Lot" for detached fiber lines. The bypass or pass-through allows you not to use the splitter to make a connection for a point-to-point.

Bypass is for active non pon connections?

Hello budy, how are you? I'm Fernando, I follow your videos and write from here in Brazil. Would you like to know the salary of a fiber optic technician? Thanks!!

What is the max distance for the main feed from the office to the FDH and then what’s the max for a line from FDH to the client?

what does the bypass do and what's the area on the lower right corner with all the pigtails do? thanks

I am not sure, but I think bypass is where you want to do splitting further down the line, not in this hub cabinet.

The lower right is a holder for the unused fibers from the splitter. As new customers sign up, they'll take a fiber from the holder and plug it into distribution (subscriber) port.

Is this in British Columbia?

How do the splitters work? Is it DWM?
