The difference between Passive Optical Network (PON) and Active Optical Network (AON)

Passive optical network (PON) and active optical network (AON) are two access technologies for building DWDM and CWDM backbone networks in FTTH systems. Both have their own advantages, so what are the main differences between them? How should we choose?

Signal Distribution

The difference in signal distribution is the biggest difference between passive optical network (PON) and active optical network (AON). In a passive optical network (PON), there is a situation where optical fiber bundles are shared between users, while in an active optical network (AON), each user has an independent optical fiber chain, and there is no shared bandwidth between each other , Therefore, relatively speaking, the passive optical network (PON) system does not run as fast as the active optical network (AON), and it is more difficult to troubleshoot when a fault occurs.

Cost

As we all know, the main sources of network costs are power supply equipment and maintenance costs. It can be seen from the above that the passive optical network (PON) has no other power supply equipment except for both ends, and requires less maintenance and no power supply; while the active optical network (AON) mainly uses power supply equipment for network transmission, so relatively In general, the cost of active optical network (AON) is higher than that of passive optical network.

Coverage

Passive optical networks (PONs) typically only cover distances up to 20 kilometers, while active optical networks (AONs) can cover distances up to about 100 kilometers. In other words, users in the passive optical network (PON) must be closer to the input signal.

Application Range

In addition to the factors mentioned above, practical applications also need to consider other factors. For example, when it comes to radio frequency deployment and video services, it is more appropriate to choose Passive Optical Network (PON); if the target users have higher requirements on the network or a large number of users (such as commercial customers or multiple residential buildings), choose Active Optical Network (AON) is more suitable.

In addition to the differences mentioned above, there are other differences between the two networks. For example, industry standards, popularity, etc.

What are the parameters of the optical module?

The parameters of optical module mainly include transmission rate, Center wavelength, Transmission distance, Single-mode/multi-mode, Interface type, etc.

Multimode has large loss but small dispersion during transmission, And is suitable for short-distance transmission, While single-mode has small loss but large dispersion during transmission, And is suitable for long-distance transmission.

Loss refers to the loss of optical energy caused by absorption, scattering and leakage of the medium when light is transmitted in the optical fiber. This part of the energy is dissipated at a certain rate with the increase of the transmission distance.

Dispersion occurs mainly because electromagnetic waves of different wavelengths travel at different speeds in the same medium. As a result, Different wavelength components of the optical signal reach  the receiving at different times due to the accumulation of transmission distances, Resulting in pulse broadening and inability to distinguish signal values.

Above all is the entire content of optical module parameters. For more information on optical module products, please follow the official website of Sanland Technology. Thank you for your support!

At present, an effective method to solve the increasing bandwidth of information transmission is to use CWDM equipment and DWDM equipment, but they are different in many aspects.

1. Channel spacing between CWDM equipment and DWDM equipment

Channel spacing is defined as the difference between the nominal carrier frequencies of two adjacent optical channels, and is generally used to prevent inter-channel interference. CWDM  has a wider spacing than DWDM, it can transmit 18 wavelengths in the spectral grid of 1271 nm to 1611 nm, and the channel spacing is 20 nm. DWDM can transmit 40, 80 or 160 wavelengths, and the channel spacing can be 0.8 nm.

2. Transmission distance between CWDM equipment and DWDM equipment

Since the wavelength of dense wavelength division multiplexing equipment (DWDM) is highly integrated during optical fiber transmission, DWDM equipment can transmit longer distances than CWDM equipment. CWDM equipment currently cannot achieve unlimited distance transmission, and its maximum transmission distance is only 160 kilometers, while the transmission distance of DWDM equipment far exceeds that of CWDM equipment.

3. Modulated lasers of CWDM equipment and DWDM equipment

The system of CWDM equipment has lower requirements on the technical indicators of the laser, and generally an uncooled laser can be used; the system of DWDM equipment needs to use a cooled laser, and the cooling laser adopts a temperature adjustment method to ensure the stability of the DWDM system. With better performance, higher safety and longer service life, DWDM consume more energy than CWDM equipment.

4. Cost of CWDM equipment and DWDM equipment

Because the temperature distribution of the DWDM equipment system is uneven in a wide wavelength range, when the cooling laser technology is used to adjust the temperature, the use cost of the DWDM equipment system is increased. In addition, the system of DWDM equipment is usually four to five times more expensive than the system of CWDM equipment. However, with the increasing popularity of DWDM, the price of DWDM optical modules is nearly 20%-25% lower than that of CWDM optical modules.
