The features and principles of pon technology
PON (Passive OpTIcal Network). PON means that (in the optical distribution network) does not contain any electronic devices and electronic power supplies. The ODNs are all composed of passive components such as optical splitters, and do not require expensive active electronic devices. A passive optical network consists of an Optical Line Terminal (OLT) installed at the central control station and a set of associated Optical Network Units (ONUs) installed at the customer premises. The optical distribution network (ODN) between the OLT and the ONU contains optical fibers as well as passive optical splitters or couplers. PON working principle The OLT assembles the downlink services that are sent to the ONUs into frames, and sends them to multiple ONUs in a broadcast manner. That is, the optical splitters are divided into N independent signals, and each signal contains frames sent to all specific ONUs. Each ONU extracts only the frames sent to itself, and discards the frames of other
