EPON P2MP Reach calculated for SSMF, ZWPF, NZDF, NDF Based on MPN and ISI dispersion-induced limitations at rate up to 1.25 G baud Economic Comparison Shown Conclusion: EFM should reference Standard Single Mode and Zero Water Peak G.652 Fibers Fiber P2P EFM lacks low cost short reach PMD for drop and MDU distribution Conclusion: Existing MMF Ethernet PMDs should be referenced for short reach P2P.
SSMF Standard Singlemode Fiber Low chromatic dispersion at 1310 nm ITU - G.652 ZWPF Zero Water Peak Fiber Same as SSMF, PLUS has 1360 1460 nm band for future use ITU G.652.C NZDF Non Zero Dispersion Shifted Fiber Low chromatic dispersion at 1550 nm ITU G.655 NDF Negative Dispersion Fiber Low negative chromatic dispersion at 1550 nm ITU G.655
Analysis Assumptions: MPN power penalty 1.8dB ; ISI power penalty 1dB Bitrate 1.25Gb/s ; BER 10-12 MPN factor 0.8 Fiber dispersion @ 1550nm : SSMF/ZWPF NZDF 17ps/[nm.km] 6ps/[nm.km] (reduced slope of 0.045 ps/[nm 2.km] NDF Fiber dispersion @ 1310nm : SSMF ZWPF -8ps/[nm.km] 5.14ps/[nm.km] NZDF -9ps/[nm.km] (reduced slope ) NDF -28ps/[nm.km] In this analysis, the FWHM spectral width of the DFB/VCSEL source is assumed to vary from ~ 0.5nm 0.9nm, and for the FP laser, the FWHM spectral width varies from ~2nm 4nm. Therefore, for the DFB/VCSEL source, Sigma (One-half RMS spectral width of source defined as Gaussian) varies from ~ 0.2nm 0.4nm. And for the FP laser, Sigma varies from 0.9nm 1.7nm.

Conclusion SSMF and ZWPF provide lowest transceiver plus fiber cost vs NZDF or NDF SSMF and ZWPF only solution supporting 1310 nm FP to 10 KM objective NDF does not support 20 KM PON ZWPF opens E Band (1360 1460 nm) to support future services for both EPON and P2P. (Low cost WWDM, using 1310, 1400, 1550 nm, 4 additional CWDM channels) Recommendation 802.3ae should normatively reference ITU G.652 (SSMF) and ITU G.652.C (ZWPF) as supporting P2MP and P2P EFM Networks
