Abstract
One of the most promising network architectures for delivering broadband services to the home is the fiber-to-the-curb (FTTC) architecture. In an FTTC network, local broadband access to the home is provided on outside plant unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) wiring and in-house coaxial cables or new UTP wiring. This paper presents a detailed description of the types of challenges encountered in such a transmission environment. It also briefly discusses the tradeoffs between achievable data rate and UTP cable length and provides some performance results for a 16-carrierless-amplitude-phase-modulation (CAP) transceiver, which is capable of delivering 52 Mb/s to the home.
