OLT stands for Optical Line Terminal, a device that connects optical fibers and converts signals. PON (passive optical network) is a fiber-optic network that employs a point-to-multipoint topology and fiber optic splitters to transmit data from a single source to multiple user endpoints. While there are many subtle differences, a clear distinction between active optical networking and PON topology is PON's use of a.

For TDM-PON, a passive optical splitter is used in the optical distribution network. In the upstream direction, each ONU (optical network units) or ONT (optical network terminal) burst transmits for an assigned time-slot (multiplexed in the time domain). By connecting with OLT and ONU, the fiber splitter can achieve split ratios of 1:2, 1:4, 1:8, 1:16, 1:32, and more. It means that the only powered (active) equipment is at the service provider's central unit and on the user's side.

A passive optical network (PON) is a telecommunications network that uses only unpowered devices to carry signals, as opposed to electronic equipment. A PON system consists of an optical line terminal (OLT) at the service provider's central office and a number of optical network units (ONUs) or optical network terminals (ONTs) near end users, with an optical distribution network (ODN) between the OLT and the ONUs/ONTs. In practice, PONs are typically used for the last mile between Internet service providers (ISP) and their customers. Instead of running a separate fiber strand to every home or office, a PON shares a single fiber using optical.
