The Reason of GPON Popular On the Fiber Optics Market?

As the wide use of broadband services and fiber-in and copper-out development, carriers require a longer transmission reach, higher bandwidth, reliability, and lower operating expense (OPEX) on services. GPON supports many functions to meet customers needs

What is GPON?

GPON stands for Gigabit Passive Optical Networks. GPON is defined by ITU-T recommendation series G.984.1 through G.984.6. GPON can transport not only Ethernet, but also ATM and TDM (PSTN, ISDN, E1 and E3) traffic. Its main characteristic is the use of passive splitters in the fiber distribution network, enabling one single feeding fiber from the provider’s central office to serve multiple homes and small businesses. Gigabyte Passive Optical Networks are networks which rely on optical cables to deliver information. It is a point-to-multipoint access mechanism which enables a single feeding fiber from the network provider’s central location to serve multiple users within their homes and small businesses.

What are differences between GPON, EPON and BPON?

EPON (Ethernet Passive Optical Network) and GPON are very similar in meaning, because they are both PON networks and both use optical cables and the same optical frequency. The rate of these two networks in the upstream direction is about 1.25 Gbits/s, but this is where the two differ from each other. BPON (Broadband Passive Optical Network) and GPON are also very similar in the same respects mentioned above. They all use optical fiber and can provide services for 16 to 32 users. The BPON specification follows ITU-T G983.1, while GPON follows ITU-T G984.1. When PON applications began to be introduced, BPON was the most popular.

GPON is popular on the fiber optics market, except for its advanced technology, it can be explained from five basic elements.

1.Range: Single-mode fiber, like the kind used in GPON systems, can transmit data over 10 to 20 kilometers. On the other hand, conventional copper is typically limited to a range of 100 meters.

 

2.Speeds: One of the main reasons for creating GPON is to have a higher bit rate in the downstream direction. The downstream transmission rate of EPON is the same as its upstream rate, which is 1.25 Gbit/s, while the downstream rate of GPON is 2.48 Gbit/s.

 

3.Secutity: GPONs are inherently secure systems due to the isolated nature of the signals within the optic fibers. Because they travel in a closed circuit and include encryption, GPON is impossible to hack or tap.

 

4.Affordability: Fiber optic GPON cables are cheaper than copper LAN cables. You can also avoid investing in wiring closets and related electronic equipment, thereby increasing long-term cost savings.

 

5.Energy Saving: As opposed to a standard copper wire in most networks, GPON’s are 95% more energy efficient. In addition to efficiency, gigabyte passive optical networks provide a low cost solutions to adding users through splitters which make GPON’s desirable in populated areas. As a more efficient and powerful technology for your building, you can consider GPON a step in the right direction.

Common Armored Fiber Optic Cables

  Armored fiber optic cables are often installed in a network for added mechanical protection, as they have extra reinforcing in the cable housing to prevent damage. Two types of armored fiber optic cables exist: interlocking and corrugated. Interlocking armor is an aluminum armor that is helically wrapped around the cable and found in indoor and indoor/outdoor cables. It offers ruggedness and superior crush resistance. Corrugated armor is a coated steel tape folded around the cable longitudinally. It is found in outdoor cables and offers extra mechanical and rodent protection.   The Structure of an Armored Fiber Optic Cable In basic armored fiber cable designs, the outer sleeve provides protection against wind, solvents, and abrasion. This outer sleeve is usually made of plastic such as polyethylene. The next layer between the sleeve and the inner jacket is an armoring layer of materials that are difficult to cut, chew, or bu

what the Differences Between FBT Splitter and PLC Splitter

  In FTTx and PON architectures, optical splitter plays an increasingly significant role to create a variety of point-to-multipoint fiber optic networks. But do you know what is a fiber optic splitter? In fact, a fiber optic splitter is a passive optical device that can split or separate an incident light beam into two or more light beams. Basically, there are two types of fiber splitter classified by their working principle: fused biconical taper splitter (FBT splitter) and planar lightwave circuit splitter (PLC splitter). You may have one question: what’s the difference between them and shall we use FBT or PLC splitter?   What Is FBT Splitter? FBT splitter is based on a traditional technology to weld several fiber together from side of the fiber. Fibers are aligned by heating for a specific location and length. Because the fused fibers are very fragile, they are protected by a glass tube made of epoxy and silica powder. And then a stainless steel tube covers the inner glass tu

Introduction of Optical Fiber Couplers and How Do They Work?

 What are optical fiber couplers? A fiber optic coupler can be defined as an optical component used with one or more input fibers and several output fibers in fiber optic systems. A coupler essentially puts two or more cores of fibers together to connect. The simple coupler is the fused fiber 2x2 coupler. Couplers are used as multiplexers that are resistant to certain wavelengths. A fiber output depends on the wavelength of light and the frequency of polarization. The fiber refractive index also plays a significant role in the performance. Let’s checkout how do optic couplers work to understand this better. How do fiber optic couplers work? Either fiber optic couplers separate optical signals into multiple paths or combine multiple signals in one direction. Optical signals are more complicated than electrical signals, making it more difficult to design optical couplers than their electrical copy. Unlike electrical currents, the optical signal consists of a stream of signal carriers, in
