I'm not looking for more reach but for more snr for more splits Would this affect power too?

On a serious note, pon reach is many times limited by timing rather than optical power. You can always use erbium doped fiber amplifiers (EDFA) but you would have to have one in each direction with the appropriate optical filters etc. The best way to extend the reach of a pon network, is to put the pon card out near the end in its own cabinet.
