and the multiple optical network unit (ONU) on the customer's side. This method employs an
Access Control System (ACS) in the middle fiber plant, and inserted between the optical line
terminal (OLT) and the ONU. The ACS is using OTDR basic source at 1625 nm wavelength
from the central office (CO) in this fault identification method. The required characteristics
and structural design method for the ACS are discussed. A prototype of the ACS is fabricated …
