Fiber to the curb/cabinet (FTTC) 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. Here "curb" is an abstraction and can just as easily mean a pole-mounted device or communications closet or a shed. Typically any system terminating fiber within 300 m (1,000 ft) of the customer
