Type A -fiber backup
Main
features
There is no backup on devices.
When the primary fiber fails, the services on the fiber are transferred to
the secondary fiber.

Service interruption occurs, and the interruption duration depends on
the time of line recovery.

When disconnection occurs on the line from splitter to ONT, service
interruption will occur and no backup happens.

Page12
Type B - OLT interface backup
Main
features
OLT provides two GPON interfaces.
This type protects the primary fiber. When the primary fiber fails, the
services on the fiber are transferred to the secondary fiber.

The protected objects are restricted to the fiber from the OLT to the
ONT and boards of the OLT. For the faults that occur on other parts, no
protection is provided. With potential security problems, it cannot satisfy
the customer requirements.
Fault locating fails.

Page13
Type C - all backup
Main
features
This type is a type of whole-network protection. Two routes are
provided between OLT and ONT, ensuring recovery of various faults.

It is complex to realize this solution and it is not cost-effective.

Page14
Type D - whole link protection
Main
features
It supports the usage of mixed ONTs in the network. ONTs either with
a single PON port or with two PON ports can be used. Users can select
ONTs based on the actual needs.
It is complex to realize this solution and it is not cost-effective.

Splitting Strategy Considerations
 In deciding the number of stages of optical splitting
to be used, ODN Designer should take into account
these factors :
 customer density,
 distribution of customers
 utilization of the splitter’s output ports.

 In general one-stage optical splitting can be used for

all FTTx architectures. For FTTH, it is suitable for
commercial building, medium rise building and villas.

Page 28
Configuration Criteria of Optical
Splitting
 The overall ratio of the optical splitting shall be
based on the bandwidth requirement of the
customers and also its total link loss.
 ITU-T G.984-1—Gigabit-capable Passive Optical
Networks (GPON) recommended that for GPON, the
total splitting of an ODN is 1:64.
 It also recommended that for GPON, the physical
reach- the maximum physical distance between the
ONU and the OLT, should not be more than 20km.

Where to Locate ODF, FDT,FAT and Closure
Abide by the following principles when installing devices such as ODF, FDH, and closure:
 Ensure that the selected installation position is available. (Permission from local government and resident owners
must be obtained, and the ambient environment must not affect the normal running of devices installed.)
 Use as few optical fibers as possible to minimize the overall cost (including the construction cost and maintenance
cost).
 Ensure that the coverage radius and the maximum differential distance (20 km) meet the requirements.
