Fiber to the curb (FTTC), also called fibre to the kerb (FTTK), is a telecommunications system based on
fiber-optic cables run to a platform that serves several customers. Each of these customers has a connection to this platform via
coaxial cable or
twisted pair. Fiber to the curb allows delivery of broadband services such as high speed internet. High speed
communications protocols such as broadband cable access (typically
DOCSIS) or some form of
DSL are used between the cabinet and the customers. The data rates vary according to the exact protocol used and according to how close the customer is to the cabinet.
