Abstract
The techniques described herein are directed to an in-line diagnostic tool of a PON that optically couples a first component of the PON and a second component of the PON. The tool detects incoming optical signals (e.g., of different services) received from the first PON component and passes the optical signals through the tool to the second PON component. The in-line diagnostic tool is configured to detect one or more conditions of the incoming optical signals, the PON, and/or sub-components of the tool, perform one or more diagnostic and/or analytics routines, and generate and transmit a diagnostic signal including information indicative of the detected conditions and/or the results of the diagnostic and/or analytics routines to be transmitted via one or more output interfaces of the in-line diagnostic tool to recipient devices and/or applications.
