Cascaded PON
Passive Optical Networks (PONs) utilise splitter assemblies to increase the
number of homes fed from a single fibre. In a Cascaded PON, there will be more than one splitter
location in the pathway from central office to customer. Currently, standard splitter formats range
from 1 x 2, 1 x 4, 1 x 8, 1 x 16 and 1 x 32 so a network might use a 1 x 4 splitter leading to a 1
x 8 splitter further downstream in four separate locations. Sirocco can be used throughout this
network topology for cost deferment and to simplify network planning/installation.
Features and Benefits
• Extended PON customer reach
• Easy network upgradeability
• Defer cost of downstream splitters if required
