@karotte GPON, xPON, and NG-PON.
GPON, dispite using fiber where you can separate channels by wavelength and appropriate filters, uses time division multiplexing and optional encryption, and is asymmetrical to boot. xPON does the same thing, but faster on a different wavelength, and the common version is even more asymmetrical. NG-PON introduces multiple wavelengths, but keeps the TDMA - essentially being 4 xPON links in parallel and depends on eletrically tuneable lasers in the client equipment.
10GBASE-LR as the non-cursed version of 10GBASE-T over single mode fiber.
