ODN
NOTE
ODN
failures
are
generally
caused by
large
reflection
and
attenuatio
n caused
by
improper
optical
compone
nts,
design, or
constructi
on.
A single ONU or some
ONUs connected to an
OLT fail to go online.
l
The branch fiber is bent excessively.
l
The branch fiber connector is not clean.
l
The quality of branch fiber splicing is poor. For
example, the splicing point has air bubbles.
l
Different types of branch fiber connectors are
interconnected.
l
The multi-mode optical fiber is used as the
branch fiber.
l
The ODN is not properly planned. For
example, the split ratio, network coverage and
attenuation difference are not planned within
the proper ranges.
l
The optical attenuation of the optical path is
excessively small.
l
A branch fiber break occurs.
l
The optical splitter is faulty or the connectors
on the optical splitter are not clean.
All the ONUs connected to
a PON port of an OLT fail
to go online.
l
The backbone fiber is bent excessively.
l
The backbone fiber connector is not clean.
l
The quality of branch fiber splicing is poor. For
example, the splicing point has air bubbles.
l
Different types of backbone fiber connectors
are interconnected.
l
The multi-mode optical fiber is used as the
backbone fiber.
l
A backbone fiber break occurs.
l
The optical splitter is faulty or the connectors
on the optical splitter are not clean.
ONU
A single ONU or some
ONUs connected to an
OLT fail to go online.
l
The ONU is not powered on.
l
The information (including SN and password)
for ONU authentication conflicts; hence, the
later power-on ONU fails to go online.
l
A rogue ONU (such as a continuous-mode
ONU) exists on the network and affects other
ONUs.
l
The ONU hardware is faulty.
l
The optical module of the ONU is faulty.
l
The Patch cord of the ONU is broken or bent
excessively.
