Abstract

Growing demand for high-speed Internet requires high-capacity optical access networks with stable transmission quality. This study evaluates a Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON)-based Fiber To The Home (FTTH) network serving 26 houses in Grand Taman Anggrek Residence, Medan, using power link budget, rise time budget, and OptiSystem simulation. The topology connects one Optical Distribution Cabinet (ODC) with a 1:4 splitter to four Optical Distribution Points (ODPs), each with a 1:8 splitter, and the farthest customer path of each ODP is analyzed. Simulation parameters include 1490 nm downstream wavelength, 2.4 Gbit/s bit rate, 2.5 dBm transmitter power, and NRZ modulation. Calculation with 0.35 dB/km fiber attenuation, six 0.25 dB connectors, and splitter losses of 7.25 dB (1:4) and 10.50 dB (1:8) yields a total loss of 19.568 to 19.656 dB and received power of -17.068 to -17.156 dBm. Simulation results show received power of -17.431 to -17.494 dBm (0.338 to 0.363 dB below the calculated values), SNR of about 50.06 dB, Q-factors of 10.9857 to 12.7839, and BER of 1.00834×10⁻³⁷ to 2.23753×10⁻²⁸. All paths meet the 10⁻⁹ BER threshold and the -28 dBm receiver sensitivity, and the system rise time remains within the 0.2917 ns limit, confirming the design's technical feasibility.
