Ethernet in the first mile via fiber (EFMF)

Ethernet in the First Mile( EFM) has several topologies that can be implemented as point-to-point or point-to-multipoint links over fiber and TP cable.

Fiber optic based EFM structure in point-to-point connection, EFMF.

Ethernet in the First Mile via Fiber (EFMF) operates as a point-to-point link using single- mode fiber over distances of up to 10 km with data rates of 1 Gbit/s.

The other two scenarios are Ethernet in the First Mile over Copper( EFMC) and Ethernet in the First Mile using Passive Optical Network( EFMP). EFMC involves point-to-point connections over copper lines and EFMP involves point-to-multipoint connections over optical fibers.
