Passive Fiber Optics and Passive Optical Networks
A passive optical network (PON) is a fiber-optic telecommunications network that uses only unpowered devices to carry signals, as opposed to electronic equipment. In practice, PONs are typically used for the last mile between Internet service providers (ISP) and their customers. A PON takes advantage of (WDM), using one wavelength for downstream traffic and another for upstream traffic on a (ITU-T, typically OS2).

The switch connects two networks
Multiple data cables are plugged into a switch to enable communication between different networked devices. Switches manage the flow of data across a network by transmitting a received only to the one or more devices for which the packet is intended.
