Abstract
A system (87; FIG. 2) is disclosed to provide a Time Division Multiple Access Passive Optical Network to a Plastic Optical Fiber to be used in both single-family home networks and in multiple dwelling units. The system (87) extends the fiber to the home fiber network infrastructure from existing fiber access networks to fiber in the home for home networking. A plastic optical fiber converter (48; FIG. 4) associated with an optical network terminal (56; FIG. 6) receives a downstream optical signal (15; FIG. 3) that is converted into an electrical signal (61; FIG. 6). The converter (48) within the optical network terminal (56) modulates Ethernet frames contained within the electrical signal and converts the frames into optical signals (71,72; FIG. 6) with advanced modulations that are then transmitted via the plastic optical fiber within the home network (124; FIG. 2).
