EPON Flashcards
EPON
Ethernet Passive Optical Network
FTTP
Fiber to the Premise
Hybrid fiber coax
HFC
RFoG
Radio Frequency over Glass
This is the next evolution of our HFC network
Passive Optical Network (PON)
When using FTTP architecture, the elimination of the coax portion of the HFC network greatly reduces _________
The amount of noise in our plant.
Difference between RFoG and EPON
RFoG is converted to RF once it reaches the side of the home, EPON optical signal flows all the way to CPE.
Pre-made fiber drop lengths
150 ft, 250 ft, 500ft
When is the only time coax is used in an EPON install?
To leverage the MoCA capabilities of the XF3 gateway
SC/UPC Connectors are used on this cable
Fiber Optic
UPC
Ultra Physical Contact
Box used to house the exterior and interior fiber drop
Fiber House Box
Media Smart Panel is used mostly in this type of residence
Multi-dwelling Units (MDU)
OptiTap replaces…
The classic RF Tap
XF3 distributes these 3 Xfinity services…
WiFi, Ethernet, MoCA
Electrical interference is not possible with this type of network
EPON
Transports modulated light between the fiber node and the headend
Fiber Optic Link
This provides the conversion from the fiber optic cable to the coaxial cable and vice versa
Fiber Node
Extremely thin flexible thread of cladded glass able to carry millions of times of information of a traditional copper wire
Optical Fiber
A device that generates a light source used in optical fiber communication
Laser
L.A.S.E.R
Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation
PPE used while working with fiber
Leather work gloves, safety glasses w/ eye shields
