This document defines a fiber-to-the-home system optimized for compatibility with hybrid fiber-coax (HFC) plant, using the same end equipment at both the home and at the headend or hub. The RFoG system is defined to begin where the plant becomes passive, extending from that point to the home. This interface is referred to as the Optical Hub. There are many possible variations on the structure of the optical hub, depending on the needs of the system. The RFoG system is defined to terminate at the subscriber-side interface of an RFoG Optical Network Unit (R-ONU) at the home.
