HYBRID FIBER COAX (HFC)

Signals are transported optically from head end to fiber nodes

HFC parts

1. Head end
2. Fiber System
3. Coaxial Distribution System
4. CPE
 ==== HFC
RF over Glass:

1. Head end Ring (Optical)

2. Fiber System Areas
3. Area Coaxial Distribution System
4. Area CPE’s
(DOWNSTREAM nm DIFFERENT FROM UPSTREAM nm)

RFoG NODE FEED

RFoG is not the same as PON

RFoG uses Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM)

PON uses A-PON, B-PON, G-PON, E-PON

For it to co-exist, different nm are used

PON uses 1310 nm UPSTREAM & 1490 nm DOWNSTREAM
