    Passive optical LAN (POL) systems, which have been deployed in fiber to the home (FTTH) builds for decades, are now scalable to 10 Gb/s with increasing data rates on the horizon. Thanks to technological advancements, optical fiber and cabling are now compact and nearly invisible, making them ideal for retrofit POL or FTTH builds that have limited or no available pathways and spaces.
