An Optical Network Terminal (ONT), is a device that serves as an interface between the optical fiber network and a user’s premises in a fiber-optic communications system. It’s a part of xPON technology (Passive Optical Network). It converts the optical signals transmitted over fiber into ...
An ONT will allow you to enjoy faster speeds, better security, a cost-effective solution, and more flexibility. If you want to make sure you’re always connected to the Internet, ONT is definitely worth considering. The best thing about anoptical networkterminal (ONT) is that it allows you...
Passive optical network (#PON#) is an optical fiber network that uses point-to-multipoint topology and optical splitters to transmit data from a single transmission point to multiple user endpoints. In this context, passive refers to the unpowered state of fiber optics and split/combined componen...
An optical module is a component that completes electrical/optical conversion on an optical network. Figure 6-2 shows the structure of an optical module. Figure 6-2 Structure of an optical module 1. Handle 2. Receiver 3. Transmitter 4. Shell 5. Label 6. Dust plug 7. Spring 8. ...
What Is an Optical ModuleOn an optical network, a sender needs to convert electrical signals into optical signals before sending them to a receiver, and the receiver needs to convert received optical signals into electrical signals. An optical module is a component that completes electrical/optical...
A passive optical network (PON) is a system commonly used by telecommunications network providers that brings fiber optic cabling and signals all or most of the way to the end user. Depending on where the PON terminates, the system can be described as fiber to the curb, fiber to the buildi...
Optical Burst Switching (OBS) is an optical network technology that aims to improve the use of optical networks resources when compared to optical circuit switching (OCS). OBS is implemented using Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM), a data transmission technology that transmits data in an optica...
In a PON network, a device called an optical line terminal (OLT) is placed at the head end of the network. A single fiber-optic cable runs from the OLT to a nonpowered (passive) optical beam splitter, which multiplies the signal and relays it to many optical network terminals (ONTs)....
An optical drive is a piece of equipment that uses a laser to read or write information on a disc. Though this type of equipment is often associated with computers, it can stand alone as an appliance. For instance, a Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) player, Blu-ray disc (BD) player, and...
The growing demand of high-bandwidth traffic from end users is encouraging telecom operators to increase the transport capacity of their existing network infrastructure.
