F.A.Q. - FTTx network solutions

A transceiver is bidirectional optical communication device that uses different wavelength to transmit and to receive signals between the optical line terminals at the central office and the optical network terminal at the customer premises. Optical transceivers facilitate the use of fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) services, in which optical fibers run from central hubs all the way to the end users, replacing copper cable lines. This can provide Internet access at very high data rates.

Fiber-To-The-x or Fiber-To-The- Premises (FTTP) is a new class of network systems, which bring the digital optical signals closer to the business premises or to the home. FTTx provides broadband data connections to homes and offices, directly fed with optical fibers. It can be realized in several different technical forms.

The active part of the network solution contains optoelectronic components, which enable receiving and sending of signals, providing a bidirectional, fast, short distance connection. The passive parts of the networks are based on passive optical splitters, which distribute the signals to the users. The system approach is dependent on the usage requirements like download and upload bandwidths.

PLC splitter is an integrated optical device designed to split an optical input signal into N identical optical output signals or to combine many signals into a single signal.
