  • GPON optical modules are divided into ONU and OLT

    GPON optical modules are divided into ONU and OLT

    The main components of a GPON system include the Optical Line Termination (OLT), Optical Network Unit (ONU), and Passive Optical Splitter. The OLT is responsible for transmitting data downstream, while the ONU transmits data upstream. A network PON (Passive Optical Network) is a fiber optic distribution infrastructure that uses no active equipment between the operator's central office and the subscriber's premises. Transmission relies solely on passive optical splitters — components without power supply that divide the signal. To date, most FTTH deployments in planning and deployment have used PON to save on fiber costs. PON has attracted much attention in recent years due to its low cost and high performance. PON. GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Networks) is one of the standards for PON-based broadband access, designed to deliver high-speed internet, efficient service, wide-ranging signal coverage, and a variety of access ports.
