FTTH PON Testing Overview

Proper testing is a critical part of installing, activating and maintaining a PON. While most components are tested during the manufacturing process, they are tested again after splicing and installation of splitters and access terminals. Field testing is required to ensure no excess loss or reflectance has been introduced due to micro-bends in installed fiber, […]

FTTH growing in Latin America but DSL to remain dominant: Pyramid Research

Pyramid Research expects the number of fiber to the home (FTTH) and fiber to the building (FTTB) connections to reach 5.1 million by the end of the year. This is part of an overall trend that will see FTTH/FTTB connections to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 34.9% over the next five […]

Optical fiber type mismatch problem when using OTDR

OTDR (Optical time-domain reflectometer) is traditional fiber optic test equipment used to characterize fiber optic. It is most easy to use but the OTDR is also one of the most expensive instrument, OTDR could give you an overview of fiber cable link characterstic of the whole system you test. OTDR is applied for estimating the […]

Troubleshooting Fiber Installations using the TLOT730 OTDR

The TLOT-730 OTDR is used to identify cable length and cable fault point or loss events of a fiber optic cable or link. This is mandatory during the installation/fiber acceptance test processes and also during troubleshooting tasks. This application note will provide the beginners with details concerning typical measurements of optical fibers for PON (passive […]

What is the maximum speed? in FTTH, DOCSIS, etc

It is important to know the maximum speed that any network can provide, either now or in the future, because bit-rate requirements are growing and choices made today will affect the technical capabilities of the network tomorrow. Although it is difficult to predict the future, Nielsen’s law of Internet bandwidth described earlier provides a guide […]

3 Important factors for choosing fiber optic OTDR

Nowadays OTDR cost decrease significantly, however many people not familiar to choose the right OTDR, in the market, there are so many OTDR brands like EXFO, JDSU, Fluke, Anritsu, Tarluz, AFL etc. prices are also different, and many articles about how to selecting OTDRs, in this page, we make it simple, considering the following three […]

Why Fiber Optics for Ethernet Transmission

Currently, Scientists already doing experiment for quantum teleportation, and even the first quantum teleportation network is been tested, however, Fiber optic is still the only medium that currently used with a virtually unlimited bandwidth. As the demand for high bandwidth grows and the price of fiber declines, fiber is replacing copper has been traditionally used […]

Test Procedures when Trouble-shooting an Live (in service) PON Network

1. Use an ONT (Optical Network Terminal) / ONU (Optical Network Unit) Tester to determine if the ONT/ONU at the subscriber’s end is responding to downstream signals from the OLT (Optical Line Terminal). The Active ONT /ONUidentifier clamps on to 0.9mm buffered fiber, or 2mm or 3 mm jacketed fiber, or 2.0mm x 3.0mm drop cable, senses and […]

FTTx Distribution Architectures: Centralized and Distributed Split Comparison

Splitter-based FTTx architectures are a compromise between cost and the flexibility of running fiber to every subscriber location. Instead of running fiber from the central office/ headend to every home like in a P2P arrangement, which is extremely expensive, splitter-based architectures run a single fiber from the headend/central office out to a central distribution point […]
