Abstract

Methods and apparatus are described for simultaneous transport of analog video signals and Ethernet data on an optical fiber. A method includes propagating a downstream signal on an optical signal conductor from an upstream combiner to a downstream combiner; and propagating an upstream signal on the optical signal conductor from the downstream combiner to the upstream combiner.
