FTTP & EPON (ER 10-16-18) (ER 10-17-18)(ER 10-30-18) Flashcards
reflections that occur at places where the light travels from one medium to another
Fresnel reflections
AIM
analog intensity modulation
This device acts as an interface between the optical distribution network and the subscriber coaxial wiring.
R-ONU
RFoG Downstream wavelength
1550 nm
This occurs when two upstream optical transmitters send light upstream at the same time and both transmitters are on exactly the same optical wavelength causing the transmissions to be lost due to distortion of the optical signal.
Optical beat interference
used to ensure that all fiber connections are clean of debris and are undamaged.
Fiber Scope
What is the angle on an APC connector?
8 degree angle to normal
tiny kinks or nicks in the fiber that may be created in manufacturing or be the result of mishandling.
Microbend
An optical technology allowing multiple optical signals onto a single fiber by using different wavelengths of laser light.
Wavelength division multiplexing
VFL
Visual Fault Locator
Number one form of dispersion in multimode fiber

Gigabit Passive Optical Network
All devices use what kind of fiber connector for the optical interface?
SC/APC
standard connector/angled physical contact
consists of all of the optical losses between the optical source and the optical receiver
optical loss budget
a network architecture that uses fiber optics and no active devices to service cable subscribers.
Passive Optical Network
In this architecture, multiple splitters are distributed at various locations in the outside plant (OSP)
distributed split architecture
Two types of extrinsic loss

change to the appropriate tip setting in the probe menu
Per wavelength what is maximum number of home passed in a fiber deep system?
128
IoR
index of refraction
uses a high-temperature arc to fuse the fiber ends together for a stronger and more permanent splice than a mechanical splicer can provide
fusion splicer
joins the fiber ends inside a plastic tube that mechanically holds the fibers in place
mechanical splice
