Fiber-To-The-Home Update: Drop Installation Flexibility

In 1988, AT&T was among the first system suppliers to introduce a single-mode fiber-to-the-home system with its SLC Series 5 Digital Loop Carrier System Fiber-To-The-Home package. The early installations used a network of cables, splices, connectors and closures to supply a one fiber drop cable to each subscriber in a star-type architecture from a Remote Terminal to the subscriber's home.
