Abstract :
This paper present the PON optical extender designed for Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) architecture. The PON extender performance test has been performed on an EPON platform for a scalable PON network deployment. A 256 optical splitting ratio at a 20km fixed fiber span and average throughput of 92.383 Mbps has been achieved.
