US 2021/0036780 A1 · PASSIVE OPTICAL NETWORK DEVICE

Abstract

A passive optical network device comprising a casing, printed circuit board, and fiber optic transceiver system is provided. The fiber optic transceiver system comprises a fiber optic components device, fiber optic transceiver, and RF connector. During operation, the fiber optic components device converts optical signals from the fiber optic transceiver to digital signals, and then transmits the converted digital signals to external electronic systems via the hot-pluggable transceiver connection interface. The fiber optic components device converts digital signals from the external electronic systems to optical signals, and then transmits the optical signals to other external electronic systems via the fiber optic transceiver. The RF connector transmits RF signals from additional external electronic systems to the external electronic systems via the hot-pluggable transceiver connection interface. The RF connector transmits digital signals from the external electronic systems to the additional external electronic systems via the hot-pluggable transceiver connection interface.
