Single-mode fiber is widely deployed in modern Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) and Fiber-to-the-Building (FTTB) networks. This deployment ensures that homes and businesses are connected directly to the core network with the capacity to handle gigabit and multi-gigabit internet speeds. Compared to other technologies, FTTH dramatically increases connection speeds available to computer users. FTTH has grown since the 1980s to. We'll cover single mode, multimode, and armored fiber cables below.
