Does the construction of a fiber optic

Does the construction of a fiber optic socket lead to the elimination of the traditional telephone socket?

No, it involves installing a new socket, independent of the sockets in place. The technician cannot modify or delete the existing copper network

The stages of installing optical fiber in a house

Once the eligibility test and the choice of supplier have been made, the future subscriber must subscribe to a fiber offer and set an appointment date for the technicians to come. The fiber installation generally lasts from 2 to 4 hours, depending on the type of installation (above or below ground) and the distance between the connection point closest to the house to the fiber optic socket.

Outside the property, technicians start by opening the room on which the house depends in order to recover the connection point.

• Thanks to a pulling cable, the fiber is pulled into the sheath already used by the telephone cable.
• Generally, the arrival of the sleeves is in the garage, not far from the electric meter. The customer should make sure that this location is accessible to installers and not obstructed by furniture, for example.
• According to the practical or aesthetic considerations of the client and after examining the accommodation, the technicians determine the most suitable route for circulating the fiber to the fiber optic outlet: using one of the sleeves, on the plinths or even through the bulkhead.
• The fiber optic plug is installed and soldered. Its location is important since it will be connected to the box. It is a question of taking into account the layout of the house but also the way in which the client wishes to connect his equipment to the box (Ethernet, WI-FI or line carrier current).
• The installers configure the box and test its flow. If everything is in order, the installation is then complete.

Case of co-owners, lessors, tenants, trustees

Whatever your situation, you have a "right to fiber"
The installation of fiber in the home is technically identical.

Certain additional steps are however sometimes necessary in collective buildings.

You will find all the answers to the questions that you can ask yourself by consulting the practical guide for the attention of (co) owners, lessors, tenants and trustees for the installation of optical fiber in buildings , edited by ARCEP. .

Please note: For the 5 municipalities deployed by SFR and within the framework of an existing building only, only SFR can be the building operator in charge of internal service works.
This will not prevent you from being able to ultimately subscribe to a subscription from the Internet Service Provider of your choice (provided that this latter actually offers THD fiber offers to the address concerned).
