Optical Line Terminal
The access node at the head of an FTTH network. Everything downstream of it — splitters, distribution boxes, subscriber terminals — is passive or subscriber-side, which is what keeps the outside plant cheap to run.

The access node at the head of an FTTH network. Everything downstream of it — splitters, distribution boxes, subscriber terminals — is passive or subscriber-side, which is what keeps the outside plant cheap to run.
Because it is the point where the access network meets the core, it is normally the unit an operator specifies first and builds the rest of the plant around.
