What Is FTTA Connectivity?
FTTA (Fiber-to-the-Antenna) is a network design that uses fiber optic cables to create a direct, high-speed connection between the Baseband Unit (BBU) and the Remote Radio Head (RRH) at the antenna site. By replacing bulky copper coaxial cables with lightweight, high-capacity fiber, FTTA ensures faster data transmission and minimal signal loss. Many deployments use Plug-and-Play (PnP) fiber assemblies, allowing mobile network operators to accelerate 5G site installations and future upgrades.
Core FTTA Product Solutions
Hybrid Connectors
Single, ruggedized cable carrying both high-speed fiber and necessary power, simplifying installation and reducing tower load.
Top Jumper Connections
Short, pre-terminated assemblies for the critical, high- reliability link between the RRH and the antenna.
IP-Fan OutKits
Rugged, weather-sealed kits that efficiently break out multi- fiber cables into individual channels for RRU connectivity.
CTJ/Demarcation Boxes
Centralized, durable junction points used to manage and secure the transition of fiber and power at the cell site.
Passive Devices
Essential components (like Splitters 1xN) used in Outdoor DAS to distribute optical signals efficiently across network nodes.
Fiber Distribution Hubs (FDH)
Compact, weatherproof enclosures that organize, protect, and simplify fiber terminations and splicing for efficient field deployment and maintenance.
