IEC 60728-115:2022

Cable networks for television signals, sound signals and interactive services - Part 115: In-building optical systems for broadcast signal transmissions

IEC 60728-115:2022 is applicable to in-building optical transmission systems for broadcast signal transmission that consist of optical transmitters, optical amplifiers, splitters, V-ONUs, etc. These systems are primarily intended for television and sound signals using digital transmission technology. This document specifies the basic system parameters and methods of measurement for in-building optical distribution systems between building network interfaces (BNI) and home network interfaces (HNI) in order to assess the system's performance and its performance limits.
This document is also applicable to broadcast signal transmission using a telecommunication network if it satisfies the requirements of the optical portion of this document. This document describes RF transmission for fully digitalized broadcast and narrowcast (limited area distribution of broadcast) signals over an FTTH network and introduces the X-PON system as a physical layer media. The detailed description of the physical layer is out of the scope of this document. The scope is limited to RF signal transmission over optical networks; thus, it does not include IP transport technologies, such as IP multicast and associated protocols.
This document specifies the required system performance of all-optical building networks in order to establish connections with FTTH networks, which are defined by IEC 60728-113 and IEC 60728-13-1. Use of in-building optical networks is very effective for saving costs (installation and maintenance) and enabling future network upgrades, especially in huge apartment buildings.
