  • Optical Module Distance Division

    Optical Module Distance Division

    According to the different transmission distances of optical modules, they can be divided into three types: short-distance optical module s, medium-distance optical modules, and long-distance optical modules. Optical modules are critical components in fiber optic communications, enabling the conversion between electrical and optical signals. Among them, long-distance optical modules refer to optical modules with a transmission.

  • Attenuation Principle of Passive Optical Networks

    Attenuation Principle of Passive Optical Networks

    An optical attenuator is a passive device that reduces optical power in a controlled way without changing the signal format. PON system should include an optical distribution network (ODN), optical line terminal (OLT), and optical network unit (ONU). Firstly, ODN is an FTTH (fiber to the home) optical network based on PON equipment, which provides an optical transmission channel. Attenuation is a term in communication that refers to loss (reduction) in signal strength when a signal is transmitted from sender to the receiver. This loss happens due to a variety of factors. It is measured using decibels (dB). It contains optical absorption materials and is used to reduce the power of optical signals in optical fibers. for achieving a suitable signal level for a data receiver in a telecom system.
