SYSTEM FOR INTERCONNECTING NODES ATTACHED TO A PASSIVE OPTICAL NETWORK

摘要

A system for interconnecting one or more leaf nodes attached to the leaves of an optical distribution network (ODN), comprising: A first and a second optical distribution network respectively comprising a remote node for distributing signals from a central office and/or an optical line terminal to a plurality of leaf nodes connected to said optical distribution network; a link connecting a first leaf node connected to the first optical distribution network to a second leaf node connected to the second optical distribution network, wherein the remote node of the second optical distribution network is adapted to forward an optical signal from said second leaf node which has received the signal from said first leaf node to the other leaf nodes of said second optical distribution network.
