In my imagination I picture something with microsecond response time that only affects the signal from the stronger ONT. If signal is stronger than -15 then reduce it by 5dB. Maybe some kind of opto-electronic switch that directs light through two equal length paths. One path has the atte

So overload is -14db where the other one is -7, but is rx sensitivity also ~7db higher? if it is, just pop a ~7db attenuator into it and all the weaker ONTs will still connect just fine. On Wed, Jul 12, 2023 at 3:31 PM wrote: > In my imagination I picture something with microsecond response tim

What if you just feed it into a splitter? a 32-way split will knock off a bunch of dBs. bp On 7/12/2023 2:11 PM, castarritt wrote: So overload is -14db where the other one is -7, but is rx sensitivity also ~7db higher?  if it is, just pop a ~7db attenuator into it and all the weaker ONTs wi

We could add splitters or fixed attenuators at the ont end. It could be done at the NID or the drop termination closure. That’s just inconvenient due to all the site visits. It’s easy to attenuate at the OLT also, but it would affect every customer on the port equally. I’d want to attenuate

Sorry no, I phrased it poorly. The actual receiver sensitivity is equivalent. By “sensitivity issue” I meant they’re being “sensitive” about strong signals. Like how I’m “sensitive” about being hit with a bat, but I don’t actually have a better than normal sense of touch. Get Outlook for iOS

You put the attenuator in the NID. On Wed, Jul 12, 2023 at 8:24 PM Bill Prince wrote: > What if you just feed it into a splitter? a 32-way split will knock off a > bunch of dBs. > > > bp > > > On 7/12/2023 2:11 PM, castarritt wrote: > > So overload is -14db where the other one is -7, but is rx
