Q

What does PON stand for?

A

Passive optical network is one in which unpowered optical splitters are used to split the fiber so it can service a number of loactions. it brings fiber to the curb, building or home. It’s passive because no power is used.

Q

DWDM?

A

Is a form of multiplexing optical signals. It replaces SONET/SDH regenerators with erbium doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) and can also amplify the signal and enable it to travel a greater distance.

Q

What is DWDM?

A

DWDM is a form of multiplexing optical signals. Dense wavelength-division multiplexing. It replaces SONET/SDH regenerators with erbium doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) and also can amplify the signal and enable it to travel a greater distance.

Q

What is PAD?

A

PAD - Packet assembler/disassembler - Devise that makes it possible for each packet to take a different route to reach its destination during a single communication session. X.25. It’s required at each end of the X.25 connection.
