Peek into FITH

– General– The closer the fiber gets to the endcustomer the more the number of

terminations per customer increases– Installers are less skilled– Installation-time is money– Fiber installation were not an objective when the housing had been planned

– During installation– Dusty riser zones– Humidity in cellars– Cramped ductings– Curbs do not provide any bend-limitation
