PON port and beam splitter

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. PON, developed in the mid-1990s, was originally designed to allow internet service providers (ISPs) to deliver broadband triple-play services (data, voice, and video) to residential users. Its purpose was to reduce the number of fiber runs needed to reach multiple end-user locations and to. A splitter is not a filter like a wavelength division multiplexer (WDM). Typically, but not always, there is one input in and mult...
