What is FTTC?

Fiber to the Cabinet (FTTC) is a telecommunications architecture where optical fiber runs from the telephone exchange's central office to a street cabinet, and then uses existing copper wires (typically VDSL or similar technology) from the cabinet to the individual premises. This allows for faster internet speeds compared to traditional copper-based infrastructure, as the fiber optic cable carries data over a longer distance, minimizing signal degradation.
