Unlike traditional copper-based hubs, which rely on electrical signals, a fiber hub manages pulses of light. This distinction is crucial because it allows for significantly higher data transfer rates over longer distances without signal degradation. Fiber Hub

Most residential fiber hubs use GPON. This is a "shared" system. One fiber from the ISP splits to reach up to 64 homes. The fiber hub (ONT) listens specifically for the "tag" addressed to your house. Because the hub is passive (no moving parts in the street), it is very reliable and cheap. 📍 A Fiber Hub (also known as an
