There are multiple ways to deliver fiber into a home, multi-dwelling unit (MDU) or commercial building, but some methods are more costly and time-consuming than others. Installation time is a major operational cost – up to 80% of a typical FTTP deployment – so it’s important to choose the right method.
Operators can choose among three common methods for deploying fiber – pushing, pulling and blowing – and they’re all very different. While each has its advantages, the most time- and cost-efficient method is often a pre-terminated fiber cable paired with a hand-pushing tool.
