This is The FOA Online Design Self-Study Program Case Study
No. 1.
This exercise covers the design of a FTTH Network
A large metropolitan phone
company has decided to test a FTTH network with the goal of deploying it throughout its system. A
typical link is shown below. Use common FTTH PON design parameters to design this
system.
Metro FTTH PON Link:
Basic System
Information:
| Segments | Length | Details | | CO/WDM to PON Coupler | 8 km | Multifiber SM cable, 2 intermediate splices, terminated with spliced-on pigtails on
both ends | | PON
Splitter to Drop | 500 m | Spliced
pigtail at PON, preterminated at drop end | | Drop to home | 100 m | Preterminated cable | | PON Splitter | | 32 port, 3
dB excess loss | | | | | | | |
| GPON
System | Transmitter
Wavelength | Minimum loss in cable
plant | Maximum loss | | Downstream Digital | 1490 nm | 13 dB | 28 dB | | Upstream Digital | 1310 nm | 13 dB | 28 dB | | | | |

Link margin specifications for most standardized fiber optic networks are on the
FOA Tech Topics Site (http://www.thefoa.org/tech/Linkspec.htm). It should be used as a reference for
designers and for the courses.

upstream | b. | Loss downstream will be more than loss
upstream | c. | Loss of the coupler is more downstream because it is a
splitter | d. | Loss of the coupler can be
ignored |
|
|
