❑An optical line terminal (OLT) at the CO in P2MP and P2P PONs
❑Video equipment (transmitter) at the CO and an erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA), which is used to
amplify the analog RF video overload signal before transmission through the WDM coupler.
❑An Optical Network Terminal (ONT) or Optical Network Unit(ONU) connected to the UNI located at each
subscriber’s premises in P2MP and P2P PONs.
❑A feeder fiber from the CO to a splitter in P2MP PONs
▪ Fiber is part of a multi-fiber cable
▪ Fiber pair for P2P PONs
❑One splitter per feeder fiber
▪ PONs can use multiple splitters in a cascade or tree design topology .
❑Distribution fibers and drop cables between the splitter branches and the (ONTs)
▪ One distribution fiber/drop cable per ONT
▪ The same feeder fiber (pair) in P2P PONs

OLT
OLT is the core component of the FTTx solution and has the
following functions (as per some version specs*)
• provides UNI interfaces such as ADSL2+, VDSL2, SHDSL, POTS, FE, P2P,
ISDN, and Combo, and provides dual GPON/EPON/GE auto-sensing NNI
interfaces.

Active Equipment – Optical Network Unit (ONU)
▪ Any device that terminates the optical network is also referred to as an optical network termination (ONT).
▪ In the IEEE world, the subscriber equipment is always referred to as the ONU.
▪ Single family unit (SFU): each family has its private ONT
▪ Multi Dwelling Unit (MDU) : Serve number of residential units, BW is shared among subscribers (can be considered as small
network)
▪ Depending on the application, the ONU can provide analogue phone
connections (POTS), Ethernet connections, RF connections for video
overlay and, in the case of FTTB, a number ofVDSL2 or Ethernet
connections, Wi-Fi 2.4/5 GHz and G.hn (G.9960).
▪ MDU (Multi dwelling ONUs) can be an intermediate solution for the full
end to end fibre architecture, for buildings with existing copper networks.
▪ In a multi-dwelling unit (MDU), the connections between end-users and
the building switch can comprise of either copper or fibre, however, fibre
is the only alternative that will guarantee to support future bandwidth
requirements.
▪ As VDSL2 links can now achieve 100-Mbps full-duplex (Annex 30a), this
provides the opportunity to access more customers without actually
having to take the fibre inside their homes.
ONT has the following functions (as per some version specs*) GE
DFB: Distributed feedback single longitudinal mode (SLM) laser, cooled, directly modulated
DFB laser required for 1000BASE PX20 EPON
FP: Fabry-Perot multilongitudinal mode (MLM) laser, uncooled, directly modulated (for BPON, GPON and 1000BASE
PX10 EPON upstream transmission at 1310 nm)

• Feeder cable: runs from access node such as OLT to the primary fiber concentration point (FCP) and
may cover a distance of up to several kilometers before termination, it may cover max. distance of
19-20 Km before terminating in First Concentration Point FCP.
• Designers can extend distance reach to 60 Km for newer GPON types using optical amplifiers.
• A typical deployment method is to use underground networks with suitably sized ducts or an aerial
cable arrangement with a pole structure
▪ It can be terminated on the outside structure of the house, or pass through the wall and
terminate inside the house
▪ Several deploying methods can be chosen, it may be deployed within small ducts, micro-
ducts or by direct burial to achieve a single dig and install solution.
▪ ITU fiber Standard G. 567 is preferable
▪ Air blown cables method is very suitable for future upgrade

A cascaded architecture utilizes multiple splitters in series to achieve the overall desired split ratio. For example: a 1x4
splitter residing in an outside plant enclosure is directly connected to an OLT port in the central office. Each of the four
fibers leaving this Stage 1 splitter is routed to an access terminal that houses a 1x8, Stage 2 splitter.
➢There are mainly two types of FTTH ➢A separate riser system is being
introduced to connect the customer from
architecture custom-tailored for each FDH.
building. ➢A Floor Distribution Box (FDB) is installed
in Floor Telephone Room (FTR) to link the
customer drops to main FDH through
riser cables.
➢The FDB is either installed in every floor,
every two floors or every three floors.
➢FDB location may vary depending on the
number of flats in each floor.
