A Fiber Termination Box (FTB), also known as an Optical Terminal Box (OTB), is a crucial component in Fiber to the Home (FTTH) applications. Its primary function is to efficiently manage and terminate fiber optic cables, connecting the cable's core to a pigtail. By understanding the components, types, and differences between various fiber management devices, businesses can make informed decisions when deploying and maintaining their fiber. A typical PON topology (GPON, XGS-PON, or 25G PON) flows OLT → fiber distribution hub → passive splitters → distribution/drop fibers → premises. When the cable into the terminal box, it is mechanically fixed, add ground wire protection parts, end protection processing, and the optical fiber grouping and protection.
