“FAT” in fiber technology jargon typically refers to “Fiber Access Terminal,” which is a device used in fiber-optic networks to terminate fiber optic cables and connect them to individual fibers that go to subscribers or users.
The “1 by 8” designation likely refers to the configuration of the terminal. In this case, it means that the FAT can accommodate 8 individual fibers. “1 by 8” signifies that there is one input port and eight output ports, indicating that a single fiber can be split into up to eight separate fibers, typically for distribution to multiple users or devices.
This kind of configuration is commonly used in fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) or fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) deployments, where a single fiber optic cable running to a neighborhood or building is split into multiple connections for individual residences or units.
