Split Architectures in PON
Centralized Split Architecture
Description: All splitters are housed in one location for easier management.
Features: Maximum Network Flexibility: Facilitates simple network upgrades and scaling. Consolidated Splice Locations: Reduces the number of splice points for easier maintenance.
Diagram Description: A network diagram illustrates a "Central Office" connected to a "Distribution Point" which houses a "PLC Splitter". The splitter output is then distributed to multiple "Terminals" via "Optical Network Terminals".
Distributed Split Architecture
Description: Offers flexibility in network design and scalability.
Features: Reduced Fiber Count: Minimizes the use of high fiber count cables, reusing fibers for cost efficiency.
Diagram Description: A network diagram shows a "Central Office" connected to a "Distribution Point" with an "Asymmetrical PLC Splitter". The splitter output is distributed to multiple "Terminals" via "Optical Network Terminals".
Optical Tap Architecture
Description: Minimizes fiber usage and optimizes OLT optical power efficiency, ideal for cost-effective, low-density areas.
Features: Simplified Network Design: Fewer splices are needed, reducing complexity and streamlining the installation process. Optimized Signal Distribution: Asymmetrical PLC splitters are used to ensure balanced signal strength across varying network lengths and locations.
