Fiber to the Home (FTTH) typically uses optical fiber cables made of glass or plastic to transmit data over long distances with minimal loss. These fibers are typically single-mode fibers (SMF) for long-distance transmission or multi-mode fibers (MMF) for shorter distances within buildings. Single-mode fibers have a smaller core diameter and are optimized for long-distance transmission, while multi-mode fibers have a larger core diameter and are suitable for shorter distances. The choice between single-mode and multi-mode fiber depends on factors such as the distance of the network and the bandwidth requirements.
