Abstract Recommendation ITU-T G.987.2 describes the physical layer requirements and specifications for the XG-PON physical media dependent (PMD) layer. Wavelength enhancement bands are described in Recommendation ITU-T G.987.1. The transmission convergence (TC) layer is described in Recommendation ITU-T G.987.3. The ONU management and control interface (OMCI) specifications are described in Recommendation ITU-T G.988. Recommendation ITU-T G.987.2 describes a flexible optical fibre access network capable of supporting the bandwidth requirements of business and residential services. The G.987 series of standards allows for multiple upstream and downstream line rates. This Recommendation currently defines one type of 10-Gigabit-capable passive optical network (XG-PON) system with asymmetric nominal line rate of 9.95328 Gbit/s in the downstream direction and 2.48832 Gbit/s in the upstream direction, hereinafter referred to as XG-PON1.
