What is this BS EN 60728-14 - Optical transmission systems using RFoG technology about?
BS EN 60728-14 discusses cable networks for television signals, sound signals, and interactive services with a focus on optical transmission systems using RFoG technology. BS EN 60728-14 is the 14 th part of the multi-series BS EN 60728 on cable networks for television signals, sound signals, and interactive services that describes the system and equipment specification of FTTH/FTTB (fibre to the home/fibre to the building) networks where information is transmitted in both, forward and return path directions using RF subcarrier multiplexing technology, and where the return path transmission uses additionally time division multiple access techniques imposed by the transmission of the return path signals using a TDMA (e.g. TDMA mode of DOCSIS) protocol.
Such systems are called RF over Glass (RFoG) and consist of an RFoG optical network unit (R-ONU), an optical distribution network based on xPON structure, and an RFoG optical return path recei...
