Abstract
In an optical fiber transmission network, a remote terminal fed by a high-rate optical signal includes an internal electrical link called a serial interface bus carrying 24 DS0 channels. The optical transmission network is extended by converting the SBI baseband signal from electrical to optical and transmitting the SBI optical signal over a distribution fiber to a network unit located in the neighborhood of the subscribers.
