Fundamentals of GPON InfrastructureInfrastructure

Completely Single Mode fiber solution• Multimode fiber will not support the 20-Km reach• Multimode cannot support multiple wavelengths allowing for both upstream/downstream traffic on a singleMultimode cannot support multiple wavelengths allowing for both upstream/downstream traffic on a single

filament• Single mode supports over 69Tbps of throughput, making it a ‘future proof‘ transport medium

Benefits of fiber plant vs. copper:bl

Turn this:

Into this:• Not susceptible to EMI• Unmatched security from tampering and intrusion• Lower material and installation cost• Smaller cable footprint than a copper infrastructure

GPON connections are all simplex SC-APC connectors

A single strand of fiber (with a 1x32 splitter) can provided up to 128 Gbe end user ports

Splitters are completely passive, and able to be placed in nearly any accessible space (floor, ceiling box, closet, manholes)

Communications closets (IDF/TR) become passive spaces for the fiber splitter, or simply a fiber pass thru.
