Ethernet in the first mile using passive optical network (EFMP)

Ethernet in the First Mile( EFM) has several topologies that can be implemented as point-to-point or point-to-multipoint links over fiber and TP cable.

Fiber optic based EFM structure in point-to-multipoint connection, EFMP.

Ethernet First File using Passive Optical Network (EFMP) operates as a point-to-multipoint link using single mode fibers over distances of up to 10 km with data rates of 1 Gbit/s. This topology is based on the passive optical network( PON).

The other two scenarios are Ethernet in the First Mile over Copper( EFMC) and Ethernet in the First Mile via Fiber( EFMF). Both scenarios involve point-to-point connections, on the one hand via copper lines and on the other via optical fibers.
