What is FTTO

FTTO (Fiber To The Office) is a future-proof networking infrastructure for modern office environments. FTTO is a cost effective cabling infrastructure for modern office environments that combines the benefits of fiber optic and copper based technologies. FTTO is a standard compliant and decentralised cabling concept for modern office environments. It combines the advantages of highly efficient fiber optic technology with the flexibility of twisted pair cabling. In contrast to the conventional structured cabling network (SCN), FTTO additionally employs future-proof fiber optic cables for backbone cabling and horizontal cabling. Copper cabling only comes to play to connect terminal equipment like workstations, VoIP-Phones or IP-cameras. As a result, the FTTO switches offer rich power management functions like Power-over-Ethernet and energy efficient Ethernet. With Fiber To The Office, enterprises profit from a highly cost effective networking infrastructure that offers flexibility, protects investments and reduces life cycle costs.
