Understanding Fibre Optic Networks
Think of fibre like a road system connecting your home to the internet superhighway
Main Feeder Cable
The highway of the network - carries large amounts of data over long distances
Distribution Routes
The main roads - branch into neighborhoods to deliver data closer to homes
Poles & Splitters
Streetlights and intersections - carry fibre overhead and divide it into smaller lines

2800 meters
Distribution Cables
24F aerial cables
Multiple lengths (180-1150m)
Splitter Ratio
1:8
1 cable serves 8 homes
Aggregation Zones

The diagram illustrates how fibre flows from the Feeder to Aggregation Zones (AG36–AG45), then to Poles, and finally into Homes.
Team Guidelines
Sales Teams
- Confirm coverage in specific areas
- Explain that fibre is already in the street
- Highlight benefits of the available packages
Technicians
- Check the nearest pole to the customer
- Monitor splitter capacity (1:8 rule)
- Maintain joints and report issues
Troubleshooting Guide
No Connection
Check DP on nearest pole → trace to Joint
Slow Speeds
Check splitter load (1:8 ratio rule)
Broken Cable
Replace aerial fibre between poles
Power Issue
Ensure ONT at customer premises has power
