XGS-PON OLT is a high-performance fiber optic access device supporting 10Gbps symmetrical uplink and downlink bandwidth. Compared to traditional GPON (2.5G downlink / 1.25G uplink), it offers 4-8 times the bandwidth capability.
How does xgs-pon compare to gpon in terms of speed and latency?In today's digital world, speed and reliability are crucial. Have you ever wondered how XGS-PON stacks up against GPON? Understanding these technologies is essential for optimizing your network.
What is Power over Fiber?
PoF is a technology that uses optical fiber to simultaneously transmit data and power. It may sound a bit surprising, but its core principle is:
Energy transmission through optical fiber: At the transmitting end, a highly efficient photoelectric converter converts electrical power into high-intensity laser light.
Laser transmission through optical fiber: This laser beam is transmitted to a remote device via a specialized optical fiber (usually glass fiber, as it can handle higher optical powers).
Photoelectric conversion: At the receiving end, a photovoltaic cell or photodiode converts the received laser light back into electrical energy to power the device.
PoF is like a "light cable," achieving the dual functions of "data + power" through a single optical fiber.
