Will all French homes be connected to fiber?

By Steve Rogers,
In theory, yes. This is at least the promise made to the French by successive governments. In practice, the less dense areas always remain the “poor parents” of the FTTH plan. Indeed, for the time being, operators have favored equipping the largest French cities to the detriment of less populated areas and / or more difficult to access. However, the PFTHD adopted in February 2013 reaffirmed the objective of covering the entire French territory by 2022 .

In the meantime, ARCEP has formalized the launch of VDSL2 and its commercial deployment. This technology, which substantially improves the performance of ADSL without however equaling that of fiber, constitutes a last resort while the fiber is deployed throughout France.

Where are we in the deployment of fiber and what are the offers?
ARCEP has set up an “Observatory for High and Very High Speed ​​in France”. As of June 30, 2017, the regulator had just over 6 million very high-speed Internet subscriptions  - compared to 2 million as of December 31, 2013 - or 37% of the total number of homes eligible for fiber . In July 2017, more than one active Internet subscription in five was very high speed.

Thus, if you plan to subscribe to a fiber Internet package , you must first of all take stock of the different types of connection with which your telephone line is compatible, which will condition the future speed of your connection: ADSL for broadband , fiber optic or VDSL2 for very high speed. In addition, if your accommodation is in an unbundling zone (partial or total), you may be able to benefit from triple or quadruple play packages.
To allow you to quickly identify the offers to which you have access from SFR, RED by SFR, Orange, Free or even Bouygues Telecom, JeChange provides you with an unbundling and eligibility test for the fiber of your line. You can then discover all the subscriptions available from your home, and compare them to find the contract that best suits your needs, at the best price.

The most popular method and the method required in TIA-568

By Steve Rogers,
Choice of the reference method Some reference books and manuals show that to establish the reference power for loss, only a reference launch cable, launch and reception cable connected with a coupling adapter or even three reference cables is used.  In fact, industry standards include all three methods to establish a "0dB loss" reference.  The two or three-wire reference methods are acceptable for some tests and are the only way you can test some connectors, but it will reduce the loss you measure in the amount of loss between your reference wires when you set your "  You could start the test with faulty launch wires, which would cause all loss measurements to be incorrect.  This means that the inspection and testing of the reference cables are very important, in order to ensure that they are in good condition.  You could start the test with faulty launch wires, which would cause all loss measurements to be incorrect.  This means that the inspection and...

If we detect N photons from a coherent state of light for a measurement,

By Steve Rogers,
Short answer: A good order of magnitude rule of thumb for the maximum possible bandwidth of an optical fibre channel is about 1 petabit per second per optical mode. So a "single" mode fibre (fibre with one bound eigenfield) actually has in theory two such channels, one for each polarisation state of the bound eigenfield. I'll just concentrate on the theoretical capacity of a single, long-haul fibre; see roadrunner66's answer for discussion of the branching in an optical network. The fundamental limits always get down to a question of signal to noise in the measurement (i.e. demodulation by the receiver circuit). The one, fundamentally anavoidable, noise source on a fibre link is quantum shot noise, so I'll concentrate on that. Therefore, what follows will apply to a short fibre: other noise sources (such as Raman, amplified spontaneous emission from in-line optical amplifiers, Rayleigh scattering, Brillouin scattering) tend to become significant roughly in pro...

The cable types, the cable network hardware

By Steve Rogers,
The ways to build the OSP cables are specifically oriented to the strength of the cable, depending on whether they are buried directly or inside conductors, located underwater, or installed in the air on poles. The proper way for cable routing must be chosen. In some installations, several types of cable are even used. Having good construction plans can be useful when working with cable manufacturers to find the right types of cables and request sufficient quantities. You should always request more cable than is needed for the length of the path, in order to be able to store the service cable in the form of a loop, prepare the termination of the cable and save what you need in case it is necessary to Make a repair in the future. As well as the cable types, the cable network hardware types are very diverse and should be chosen in a way that is compatible with the cable types used. With so many hardware options, working with cable manufacturers is the most expeditious way to choose ha...
