Fibtele project input brief
Solution: FTTH ODN Planning for GPON & XGS-PON
Solution slug: ftth-network-deployment

Quick answer
An FTTH ODN should be designed from the serving area, splitter topology, optical-loss budget, route conditions and test acceptance criteria. Cables, splitters, closures and distribution boxes should be selected only after those inputs are fixed.

Inputs required before selection
- Homes passed, take-rate assumption and growth reserve
- OLT and ONU optical classes, wavelengths and required engineering margin
- Target split ratio and whether splitting is centralized or cascaded
- Feeder, distribution and drop-route lengths and installation environments
- Splice, connector, enclosure, testing and restoration policies

Selection checklist
- G.652 or bend-insensitive G.657 fibre requirement by route section
- Indoor, outdoor, aerial, duct or direct-installation environment
- Splitter package, connector type, split ratio and operating wavelengths
- Closure and box capacity, sealing, cable-entry and fibre-management needs
- Connector polish, splice method and end-to-end loss acceptance

Important limits
- A component list cannot replace a route survey or an end-to-end optical budget.
- Actual loss limits depend on the selected PON optics and the current controlled standards or operator specifications.
- Product availability, certification and environmental ratings must be confirmed for the exact model before ordering.

Ordering note
