FTTx monitors with sophisticated hardware need 0.7 µW of electrical power when controlled through a special protocol. This power can be delivered by a 5 dBm optical source at a dedicated wavelength to up to 64 monitors. ©2010 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (060.0060) Fiber optics and optical communications; (120.0280) Remote sensing and sensors; (060.4250) Networks; (060.4256) Networks, network optimization
