Yeah, some people say PON some say POE... same diff... On a serious note, pon reach is many times limited by timing rather than optical power. You can always use erbium doped fiber amplifiers (EDFA) but you would have to have one in each direction with the appropriate optical filters etc.
The best way to extend the reach of a pon network, is to put the pon card out near the end in its own cabinet.

The really long one, we used a 56V POE at the near end, then a DC-DC converter at the far end to bring the voltage down to something the CPE can handle. That one has been operational now for about 6 months. > > bp > <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> > >> On 4/18/2015 8:54 AM, Gino Villarini wrote: >> Anyone has any experience with such devices? >> >> >> >> Gino A.
