		For the fiber to guide the optical signal the refractive index of the core must be slightly higher than that of the cladding, though typically the difference is less than one per cent.
		Fibers are generally used in pairs, with one fiber of the pair carrying a signal in each direction.
		For single-mode fiber performance is limited by chromatic dispersion, which occurs because the index of the glass varies slightly depending on the wavelength of the light, and light from real optical transmitters has nonzero spectral width.

	Fiber to the premises - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fiber to the Premises (FTTP) or Fiber to the Home (FTTH) is a broadband telecommunications system based on fiber-optic cables and associated optical electronics for delivery of multiple advanced services such as the triple play of telephone, broadband Internet and television all the way to the home or business.
		One fiber is optically split into 16, 32, or 64 fibers (depending on the manufacturer) which are then distributed to residential or business subscribers.
		Currently optical fiber infrastructure for FFTH is being built also in Ljubljana and Koper.

	Verizon \| Fiber to the Premises
		Fiber to the Premises (FTTP) refers to Verizon’s new network that will utilize fiber-optic cables and associated optical electronics instead of copper wire to connect a customer to the Verizon network.
		FTTP is easier to maintain and extremely flexible to customer preference – new products and services can be activated remotely, either permanently or on demand.
		FTTP provides a “blank canvas” for technology innovators at Verizon and elsewhere to create the tools and uses of FTTP for the burgeoning broadband economy.

	Premises Fiber Network Requirements-Testing
		You've just installed and terminated a premises fiber network in a commercial building, so you're ready to pack up the tools and move on to the next project.
		Premises LAN networks differ from their long-haul WAN cousins in several ways.
		The concept of testing two fibers at two wavelengths using main and remote test modules parallels the practice followed in certifying UTP and STP copper cable networks.

	What is FTTP or Fiber-To-The-Premises?
		While high-speed fiber optic cables are more often used to provide the primary links, the "last mile" to each home still plays an important role in the quality of service you receive.
		FTTP involves laying optical fiber from a central location (switch) to a termination point (the home or business), and could potentially deliver broadband at speeds of up to 100Mbps.
		The Baby Bells have another incentive to roll out FTTP as well; the FCC requires them to share their copper wires with their competitors - but that requirement would not apply to new FTTP infrastructures.

	Verizon's fiber race is on \| CNET News.com
		The Federal Communications Commission plans to allow the Bells to invest in fiber without requiring them to share their infrastructure with third parties, as is the case with copper wire networks.
		For many years, the Bells have protested that the line-sharing rules on copper wire networks are unfair, because cable companies are not required to share their lines.
		"Fiber from Verizon is coming down their streets and heading straight for their doors, and the excitement in these communities is building," Paul Lacouture, president of Verizon's network services group, said in a statement.

	FIBER TO THE EVERYONE
		Verizon's vow to feed fiber to 1 million homes in 2004 was met with skepticism from some industry observers who suspected the carrier's FTTP plans were all talk.
		Worldwide spending on fiber access equipment topped half a billion dollars in 2003, according to IDC, and it will rise to nearly $2.5 billion by 2008 — a 37% compound annual growth rate.
		But while Verizon was inviting the press to Keller, SBC was quietly installing fiber in Oconomowoc, Wis., for a trial to be conducted in the first “model homes” of the Pabst Farms planned community now under construction.

	NFOEC: BellSouth CTO defends fiber-to-the-curb
		The FCC’s triennial review order would free regional Bell companies that deploy FTTP from having to wholesale their fiber access lines to competitors--a rule considered part of the impetus for the Bell companies’ recent interest in FTTP.
		But the same rules don’t apply to FTTC architectures, where fiber stops short of reaching each user’s residence.
		Though Smith said BellSouth will continue to work with SBC and Verizon Communications to drive down the cost of FTTP, he also said BellSouth is working to convince the FCC to revise the final order of the triennial review to correct the regulatory disparity between FTTP and FTTC.
