The Access Network is being rapidly upgraded to Gfast loops with deeper fiber into existing cabinets. To maximize speed, engineers need to ensure the Gfast copper loop is pristine or the expected bandwidth will fall short of goal and customer complaints will follow. Tools to Accelerate Gfast Copper Test: OneCheck Copper Diagnostics is a full suite […]

Migrating to G.fast is the most economical way to bring Gigabit speeds to customers because the existing copper or coax infrastructure is reused between the DPU to the customer’s client. This avoids rewiring for the last 250 to 300 meters. All segments of the hybrid network: fiber, copper line, interior twisted pair or coax wiring, […]
