Description
The Huawei SmartAX MA5608T AC is a compact, 2U-high Optical Line Terminal (OLT) designed for space-constrained deployments in small-capacity scenarios like towns and multi-dwelling units. It supports both GPON and EPON technologies, accommodating up to 4 PON ports to deliver triple-play services (voice, data, video). A key feature is its support for AC power input, simplifying installation in sites without DC power infrastructure. The device also offers flexible GE or 10GE uplink options and is designed for future evolution to 10G PON, providing a cost-effective and scalable access solution

Huawei MA5608T Board Selection Guide
1. GPON Service Board Selection
To determine the required number of GPON service boards for the MA5608T, first calculate the total number of GPON subscribers to be connected. While the OLT technically supports a maximum splitting ratio of 1:128, a ratio of 1:64 or lower is commonly used in practice for optimal network performance and service quality.
The calculation formula is as follows:
– For GPBD or GPBH boards (each providing 8 GPON ports): Number of boards = Total subscribers ÷ (64 subscribers per port × 8 ports per board)
– For GPFD boards (each providing 16 GPON ports): Number of boards = Total subscribers ÷ (64 subscribers per port × 16 ports per board)
Available GPON service boards for MA5608T from ISP-Home.com include:
– GPBD: 8-port GPON Interface Card
– GPBH: 8-port Advanced GPON OLT Interface Board
– GPFD: 16-port GPON OLT Interface Board
2. Uplink Board Selection
The MA5608T does not require a separate uplink board. The uplink functionality is integrated into the main control board. The MCUD or MCUD1 main control board provides the uplink ports directly. You can select GE or 10G optical interfaces, or use 1000Base-T electrical ports via electrical SFP modules if needed.
Available uplink configurations via main control boards from ISP-Home.com:
– MCUD: Provides 4 x GE SFP uplink interfaces
– MCUD1: Provides 2 x GE SFP + 2 x GE/10GE SFP uplink interfaces (supporting 10G capability)
3. Power Board Selection
The MA5608T platform supports both DC and AC power input. For DC power applications, select the MPWC Dual DC Power Board. For AC power applications, choose the MPWD AC Power Board. Both options provide power redundancy capabilities for enhanced system reliability.
4. Main Control Board Selection
The main control board is a critical component that manages system operations and provides uplink connectivity. For the MA5608T, the available options are:
– MCUD: Standard main control board with 4 GE SFP uplink ports
– MCUD1: Advanced main control board with 2 GE SFP + 2 GE/10GE SFP uplink ports, supporting 10G uplink capability
This configuration allows flexible deployment based on your bandwidth requirements and network infrastructure.
