This paper presents a technical-pedagogical approach designed to engage students from the Telecommunications Laboratory at Peninsula de Santa Elena State University in the evaluation and correction of didactic GPON network modules. Through guided procedures using OPMs, PON power meters, and OTDRs, faults were diagnosed, optical losses quantified, and fiber splices performed in compliance with CNT and ITU-T standards. The restored network, achieved through technical solutions that minimize attenuation, enabled speed tests and service profile configurations simulating real-world scenarios. Results showed significant improvements: in the DWDM module, attenuation was reduced from 3.117 dB to 2.117 dB, while in the MSAN module, power received increased from -12.93 dBm to -6.53 dBm. The implementation enhanced the performance of links exceeding operational attenuation thresholds through targeted corrections, aligning students’ hands-on experience with industry practices. This approach strengthens practical competencies in FTTH network installation, maintenance, and diagnostics, providing students with a more immersive and experimental learning process that complements theoretical training.

摘要

This paper presents a technical-pedagogical approach designed to engage students from the Telecommunications Laboratory at Peninsula de Santa Elena State University in the evaluation and correction of didactic GPON network modules. Through guided procedures using OPMs, PON power meters, and OTDRs, faults were diagnosed, optical losses quantified, and fiber splices performed in compliance with CNT and ITU-T standards. The restored network, achieved through technical solutions that minimize attenuation, enabled speed tests and service profile configurations simulating real-world scenarios. Results showed significant improvements: in the DWDM module, attenuation was reduced from 3.117 dB to 2.117 dB, while in the MSAN module, power received increased from -12.93 dBm to -6.53 dBm. The implementation enhanced the performance of links exceeding operational attenuation thresholds through targeted corrections, aligning students’ hands-on experience with industry practices. This approach strengthens practical competencies in FTTH network installation, maintenance, and diagnostics, providing students with a more immersive and experimental learning process that complements theoretical training.
