in some existing CATV operator network or some telecom upgrading projects (eg. in old buildings), to avoid destroying the building structure and make full use of the current coaxial cable network, cable operators usually adopt a FTTH PON+CATV network solution.

CATV FTTH Triple Play solution scenarios

What is called “FTTH PON+CATV” network?

  One hand, Cable TV signal from optical transmitter. Other hand, data and VoIP signal from FTTH GEPON/GPON OLT uplink side. The two ways signals are combined in EDFA (Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier), divided by PLC splitters, transmitted on single fiber and reach to the end user family. In some case the combination signals will reach to the CATV and Ethernet network system: EoC master and EoC slave (Optional). Then EoC slave terminal demodulate the Ethernet service and CATV service.

• Pure CATV service scenario
• CATV and Ethernet over cable service application
• HFC CATV and Ethernet service Scenario
• Data+VoIP+CATV triple play scenario
