Passive Optical Networking with Daisy-Chaining

摘要

A system for implementing a local area network using passive optical networking is described. The system includes an optical line terminal (OLT), a fiber optic connection, an optical network terminal (ONT) in communication with the OLT using a passive optical networking standard, and a peripheral device directly coupled with the ONT. The ONT may include an enclosure, a first and second optical port coupled to the enclosure, an optical transceiver an optical splitter contained within the enclosure. When the ONT receives an optical signal from the OLT through the first optical port, the optical signal passes through the optical splitter, and a first portion of the split optical signal is optically coupled to the optical transceiver, and a second portion of the split optical signal exits the ONT through the second optical port in order to communicate with another ONT in the system.
