Hybrid Fiber-Coaxial Network

A Hybrid Fiber-Coaxial (HFC) network combines fiber optic cables and coaxial cables to deliver internet, cable TV, and phone services. Fiber optics, made of glass or plastic fibers, carry data at high speeds over long distances with minimal signal loss. Near neighborhoods or homes, the fiber connects to local hubs, then uses coaxial cables—thick copper wires—to distribute services directly to individual users. This setup leverages the high capacity of fiber optics and the existing infrastructure of coaxial cables, providing reliable, fast connectivity with efficient delivery over large areas.
