Actually, you can go out further that 20km. I have customers out as far as 29km. There are two factors to take into consideration.
1. Optical budget. Very simple math just like the wireless world. Start with TX subtract splitter loss, distance loss, and connector loss. If greater than RX value, you are good to go. We usually try for a 3-4 db margin or paper to give us some wiggle room.
2. The donut, as Donny calls it. The maximum distance between two ONT's on one OLT port is 20km. Zhone has a parameter on each olt port that I can set min and max distance. I have most OLT ports set at 0km-20km which is the default. I have a few at 10km-30km for longer reach.
