We are all used now to twisted pair and fiber, and not everyone already recalls this time. But believe or not, the first media used for the Ethernet networks was the coaxial cable or coax. It remained as most common media for years, but has been recently replaced by twisted pair and fiber optics in modern LAN solutions. As seen ...
Every type of transmission media requires connectors at the both ends of the wire before it could be connected to the network device. Different media types require different connectors which affect network installation and maintenance costs as well as possibility to add new segments to the network.
Although each media type has specific connector, it is not problematic to have different ...
Transmission media can and will be affected by the noise coming from inner and outer sources. That is when noise immunity factor kicks in. Since different types of media has greater or smaller affects by the noise it is necessary to choose type of media depending on situation. Noise is affecting data signals, but since fiber-optic does not use electric ...
MDU - Multi Dwelling Unit EPON ONU's - are ONU's that usually will serve more than one subscriber, more than one home and unlike of SFU - Single Family Unit ONU, will be usually deployed at apartment building, a condominium complex or at the curbside - that is a scenario sometimes called FTTB or FTTC. And while in SFU case ...
Apart from a regular scheme with series of 1:N splitters in FDN, some networks, especially those with industrial grade for power, gas or electricity providers, require equipment and some network design skills to provide backup schemes for your PON network.
Theoretically there is a 3 ways to provide such kind of backups:
1. Protecting fiber damage - in this case 2:N type ...
Network designer require to consider type of media transmission depending on network needs. Different media have different specifications for throughput, cost, noise immunity, size, and scalability.
Throughput
Throughput is one of the main factors for choosing transmission method. While in theory signal can travel with speed of light, in practice it is limited by media physical characteristics and multiplexing techniques. Since the ...
