High bandwidth: With standardized PON technologies like GPON, EPON, and XGS‑PON, multi‑gigabit speeds are standard. Cost efficiency: Shared fiber, fewer field enclosures, and no powered distribution equipment lower both capital and operating expenses. EPON module, defined by the IEEE 802. 3ah standard in 2004, which can support the transmission rate of 1. EPON modules are divided into classes PX10 and PX20, with specific parameters as follows: With the. How it Works: PON relies entirely on passive optical components (requiring no electrical power) to split the optical signal from a single feeder fiber to multiple end-users. The critical component is the Optical Splitter (or coupler), typically placed in an outdoor cabinet or splice point.

Instead of running a separate fiber strand to every home or office, a PON shares a single fiber using optical.
