A single optical distribution box is connected to several main trunk lines

Officially termed a Multiport Service Terminal box, an MST box is a specialized enclosure designed to streamline FTTH (Fiber-to-the-Home) deployments by connecting a main fiber line to multiple endpoints—think homes, offices, or small businesses. A passive optical network (PON) is a cabling system that uses optical fibers and optical splitters to deliver services to multiple access points. A PON system can be fiber-to-the-curb (FTTC), fiber-to-the-building (FTTB) or fiber-to-the-home (FTTH). In contrast to AON, multiple customers are. Rather than telling you how to design a FTTH network, we will illustrate some of the different network architectures, construction methods, etc. GPON adopts WDM to transmit data of different upstream/downstream wavelengths over the same ODN. Wavelengths range from 1290 - 1330 nm in the upstream direction and from. An optical distribution network (ODN) is the passive backbone of any PON (passive optical network).
