Abstract Recommendation ITU-T G.984.6 outlines the architecture and interface parameters for GPON systems with extended reach using a physical layer reach extension device such as a regenerator or optical amplifier in the fibre link between the optical line termination (OLT) and optical network termination (ONT). The maximum reach is up to 60 km with loss budgets of in excess of 27.5 dB being achievable in both spans.
