📖Technical Explanation & Methodology
In GPON/EPON FTTH networks, cascading a 1:8 ODC splitter with a 1:8 ODP splitter introduces 21 dB of splitter loss. With a +4 dBm OLT SFP, ONT receive power sits safely around -18.5 dBm.
❓Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the normal optical receive power at an FTTH ONT?
Healthy ONT Rx power ranges between -15 dBm and -24 dBm.
