Sistem Transmisi Multimode GPON

The document describes a new passive multimode GPON transmission system that allows operators to deploy GPON networks over existing multimode fiber infrastructure in buildings. The key components are a hybrid singlemode/multimode splitter and hybrid multimode/singlemode patchcords. This overcomes issues with modal dispersion in multimode fiber that previously prevented stable GPON transmission. The system supports 2 Gbps transmission over 600 meters of OM2/OM3/OM4 fiber and is compatible with standard GPON equipment.

Multimode GPON Transmission System

In most countries, the dominating technology for building optical access networks are passive optical
networks (PONs). In such networks, the only active devices used are the optical line terminations (OLTs)
located at the operator’s end and optical network terminations (ONTs) or optical network units (ONUs).
The most popular currently used transmission standard in PONs is the GPON (Gigabit PON) defined by
the International Telecommunication Union in G-984 recommendations.

In the GPON standard, the wavelength band of 1480-1500 nm is used for transmitting the signal from the
OLT to ONU (downstream), and 1290-1330 nm (formerly 1260-1360 nm) band is used in opposite
direction. This is of course a simple form of wavelength division multiplexing (WDM). Data in GPON can
be transmitted with a symmetrical capacity of 2.5 Gbps/2.5 Gbps, but usually the available bandwidth is
asymmetrical: 2.5 Gbps downstream and 1.25 Gbps upstream. The available capacity can be divided
among up to 128 subscribers. The maximal distance between OLT and ONU is 60 km, whereas the
distance difference between ONUs connected to the same OLT port (so called network range) cannot
exceed 20 km. In GPONs, the typical power budget is 28 dBm (B+ class), and can be increased up to 32
dBm (C+ class) by using special lasers. Lasers and filters indispensable for building GPONs do not
require high wavelength stability and are relatively easily accessible in the market. Alternative
transmission protocol in PONs is the GEPON (defined by the IEEE in 802.3ah standard). Although it has
significant limitations from the point of view of the operator (including much lower birate and less
manegement capabilities), from the optical point of view (network topology and requirements for medium
of transmission) it is very similar, therefore the solution for optical layer described in this article is fully
compatible with the GEPON transmission.

Typically GPONs are built based on singlemode fibers and only this medium is allowed in the ITU-T
recommendations and is supported by active GPON devices. More and more Internet users, especially
ones that move into new buildings, expect the availability of ultrafast, ultrareliable, and ultrafashionable
fiber optic Internet, which implies GPON (or sometimes GEPON). However, it could happen that in a
multi-family or public facility building, which the demanding Internet user has just moved into, and in which
an operator would like to launch a passive optical network, the building’s developer has already installed
cables with multimode fibers. This is most likely to happen in high standard buildings, which means there
would be many high value potential subscribers. Why in such buildings in particular? Currently, the costs
of standard OM2 multimode fiber based cables are about twice higher than the costs of similar cables
with singlemode fibers (and cables with OM3 fibers are even more expensive). Thus, every self-
respecting developer assumes that if something is more expensive, it must be better, and doesn’t save
money on equipping such building. Apart from this fact, it is much less pricey to use the existing
infrastructure in the building than laying new singlemode fibers.

Unfortunately, as mentioned above, until now a telecommunication operator who wanted to


supply their service in such multimode cabled building was drawn away by technical questions –
they could not launch PON (GPON, EPON) on multimode fibers. In this case using standard solutions
available in the market would not ensure a stable and faultless transmission. This is mostly due to the fact
that a new phenomenon, modal dispersion, is present in multimode fiber that strongly degrades the
signal quality. Its presence typically causes unacceptable BER increase and consequently transmission
turnoffs. In addition, signal losses on the singlemode-multimode connection are so high they “kill” the
power budget (value of these losses depends on modal excitation, and is of the order of 17 dB for LED
excitation). Until now the only solution was laying a new, parallel singlemode network. To help operators
avoid the costly change of cables, Fibrain company has developed and implemented the first passive
multimode GPON transmission system in the market.

The passive multimode GPON transmission system contains a hybrid SM/MM splitter with a singlemode
input and multimode outputs (Fig. 1a) and hybrid MM/SM patchcords (Fig. 1b). Using both the hybrid
splitter and hybrid patchcords is necessary for correct system operation. The hybrid patchcords are used
at the subscriber end for connection between the (multimode) network outlet with optical port in
ONU/ONT subscriber device (always singlemode). The input singlemode end of the splitter (to be
connected to the line cable) is terminated with an SC/APC connector, which is a standard connector used
in GPON networks. The multimode splitter outputs (to be connected to the multimode inter-building
distribution network) are terminated with SC/UPC connectors, which are common in networks based on
multimode fibers. The hybrid patchcords are equipped with the same connectors, meaning SC/UPC at the
multimode end and SC/APC at the singlemode end (to be connected to the active device). A visual
scheme of connecting the inter-building multimode network with external singlemode GPON and
ONU/ONT active devices is shown in Fig. 2.

From the operator perspective, the usage or installation of the passive multimode system is no different
than for the standard singlemode system (even the connectors are hard to be confused thanks to color
coding). Fibrain advises the use of the hybrid SM/MM transmission system with Dasan Networks GPON
active devices, which are fully tested for compatibility with the system.

The passive multimode GPON system supports 2 gbps transmission over fibers with 50 μm core
diameter (OM2, OM3, and OM4 standards) over a distance of 600 m. This distance exceeds the
length of links in buildings. The solution has been tested for connection stability (transmission errors) in
conditions of temperature changes from -40 to +85 °C (according to the IEC 61300-2-22 standard). The
system works faultlessly also in high humidity conditions. It can be used not only inside buildings, but also
outdoors.
