    Abstract: A method for increasing the capacity of a passive optical network. The passive optical network includes an existing multi-service terminal having a plurality of hardened fiber optic drop ports, and also includes an optical line terminal that provides service to the existing multi-service terminal. The method includes upgrading the optical line terminal to support at least 10GPON and to have increased launch power and enhanced loss sensitivity. The method also includes adding a passive optical splitter between the optical line terminal and the existing multi-service terminal, connecting the existing multi-service terminal to a first output of the passive optical splitter, and connecting an expansion multi-service terminal to a second output of the passive optical splitter.

    Abstract: A distributed wave division multiplexing system includes a first multiplexing device and multiple second multiplexing devices. The first multiplexing device separates Y number of subscriber signals carried over an input line onto X number of channel lines by wavelength. Each of the second multiplexing devices is coupled to the first multiplexing device by one of the channel lines. Each second multiplexing device separates X number of subscriber signals carried over the respective channel line onto Y number of output lines by wavelength. Each of the Y number of wavelengths subscriber signals carried over a first of the channel fibers is associated with a different one of the output fibers of the respective second multiplexing device. Each of the X number of subscriber signals carried over a first of the output fibers of each second multiplexing device is associated with a different one of the channel fibers.

    Abstract: Switching technology may be incorporated into various systems, components, and/or architectures in a fiber optic network to promote network reconfigurability and design flexibility. A signal access unit comprises an input, an output, an access port, a switch arrangement including a switch, and a controller. The switch optically couples the input to the output and not to the access port when in a first configuration, and optically couples the access port to at least one of the input and the output without optically coupling the input and the output together when in a second configuration. The controller is configured to receive an indication of a selected wavelength and to operate the switch arrangement to change the switch between the first and second configurations based on the indication of the selected wavelength.

    Abstract: A passive optical network includes a central office providing subscriber signals; a drop terminal; and a wave division multiplexer. A fiber distribution hub may split or separate out dedicated optical signals from subscriber optical signals between the central office and the drop terminal. The wave division multiplexer separates dedicated optical signals pertaining to a specific dedicated subscriber from other optical signals on the line received at the wave division multiplexer. The wave division multiplexer may be part of a cable or part of an intermediate service terminal.
