Passive Optical Network (PON) design and managing 101
Passive Optical Networks (PON) have become the backbone of high-speed fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) solutions. Network designers and ISPs aiming for efficiency must focus on effective passive optical network design, with careful consideration of PON architecture planning and splitter placement. This guide explores the key components of a robust PON and offers insights into best practices for […]
PON crib: splitters, ratios, gains, losses
Power ratio in mW and dBm dB is the ratio of two powers. For example, for the loss (attenuation) in a segment of optical fiber we have the value at the input of the segment and at its output. If we have measured gains in linear units (e.g. in Watts – W), the loss value […]
