Distribution from core to customer

These are the distribution points that organize a fiber network from the core to the customer's door. Each sits at a different level: the ODF at the core, the FAT and FDB in the neighborhood or building, and the ATB at the customer's premises.
ODF / FAT / FDB & ATB

Frames, terminals, and boxesat every level.

ODF at the core, FAT and FDB toward the customer, ATB at the premises — clear, serviceable connection points across the network.

What It Fits

Match to equipment and site.

Network position

Core equipment connects through the ODF, then feeder, FDT, distribution, FAT or FDB, drop, and finally ATB.

Splitters and splices

Splitters sit in FDT, FAT, or FDB enclosures; splices sit in trays.

Cables

Entry ports must suit the feeder, distribution, or drop cable.

Connectors

Adapters and pigtails must match the network's connector and polish type.

Environment

Outdoor terminals must be weather-rated; indoor boxes suit buildings.

Patch cords

Link equipment and terminals to adapters inside each enclosure.

How to Choose

Decisions that get the choice right.

01

Capacity

Allow for future customers at each level.

02

Location

Indoor or outdoor, pole, wall, or rack.

03

Cable compatibility

Check entry ports and cable diameters.

04

Connector standard

Keep it consistent from ODF to ATB.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions

What is the difference between FAT and FDB?

Both distribute fiber toward customers. FATs are commonly used for access points on poles and walls, while FDBs are often used within buildings or local areas. Exact usage varies by network design.

What does the ATB do?

It gives the customer's drop cable a protected termination point, with an adapter where a patch cord plugs into the ONT.

Can I add customers later?

Yes, if the FAT or FDB was sized with spare capacity.
