I'm trying to understand the concept of different layers in networking, specifically where the Optical Line Terminal (OLT) fits in. Could someone clarify which layer the OLT belongs to?

The electrical signal is formatted to Ethernet packet type standards, enabling it to be forwarded at either Layer 2 or Layer 3 of the OSI model.

These signals are combined into a single multiplexed beam of light by the OLT.

The OLT then converts this beam of light into an electrical signal.
