Purchase Guide
To determine the required number of GPON service boards, first calculate the total number of GPON subscribers to be connected. While the OLT technically supports a 1:128 splitting ratio, a ratio of 1:64 or lower is commonly used in practice for optimal performance.
Calculation Formula
For GPBD or GPBH boards (each with 8 GPON ports):
Number of boards = Total subscribers ÷ (64 subscribers per port × 8 ports per board)
For GPFD boards (each with 16 GPON ports):
Number of boards = Total subscribers ÷ (64 subscribers per port × 16 ports per board)
Available GPON Service Boards
- GPBD: 8-port GPON Interface Card
- GPBH: 8-port Advanced GPON OLT Interface Board
- GPFD: 16-port GPON OLT Interface Board
Uplink Board Selection
Select an uplink board based on your bandwidth requirements and network infrastructure. Optical interfaces are recommended for higher bandwidth and longer distances. Consider a dual-uplink board design for enhanced reliability.
Available Uplink Boards
- GICF: 2-port 1000Base-X Gigabit Ethernet Optical Interface Card
- GICG: 2-port 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet Electrical Interface Card
- X2CS: 2-port 10G SFP+ Optical Interface Card
Power Board Selection
The PRTE DC Power Board is the standard choice for MA5680T series devices. Dual power board configurations are common for redundancy. For locations without -48V DC power, a telecom-grade AC-to-DC converter (EPS30-4815AF) is required.
Main Control Board Selection
The SCUN Super Control Board is the recommended main control unit for the MA5680T. Deploying a dual main control board configuration is a standard practice to ensure high availability and system reliability.
FAQ
Q: What is the difference between MA5680T and MA5683T?
A: The only difference is capacity, MA5683T max support 6 service slots, MA5680T max support 16 service slots. So MA5683T with smaller chassis.
Q: What is the difference between MA5680T and MA5600T?
A: MA5600T is multi service based while MA5680T is just OLT, MA5600T can support service like ADSL, VDSL, GPON etc, while MA5680T only supports GPON, P2P etc, but their hardware and configuration command is the same.
Q: Does MA5680T support AC power?
A: No, but you can purchase a telecom level AC to DC converter if you just have AC power source.
Q: Can I use MA5680T main control board SCUN as uplink so as to save the uplink board cost?
A: Yes, you can, but we don’t suggest, as Huawei OLT SCUN load balance is not well supported, so most customers are using SCUN in active/standby mode, if OLT lose power, which SCUN will work as the active SCUN will be randomly, which may affect service, also if the link is down, the active SCUN will not shift to the standby SCUN (it will only shift when SCUN board is down), then service may get affected also.
Q: Can I have 1000 Base-T as uplink?
A: Yes, instead of GICF uplink board you can purchase GICG uplink board, if use GICF, you can buy a electrical SFP module then you can have 1000 Base-T.
Q: Can I buy 10G uplink board instead of GE?
A: Yes, then you may request ISP-Home sales quote you X2CS board instead of GICF uplink board, each X2CS provide 2*10G ports.
Q: What is the max transmit distance between GPON OLT and ONT?
A: Max 40KM.
Q: Can I use 1:128 split ratio with B+ SFP Module?
A: Yes, but not suggested, most of ISP-Home customers even use C+ module, are max using 1:64 split ratio.
Q: Do you also offer FTTH tool and accessories?
A: Yes, as a one-stop FTTx solution&products provider, also we offer FTTx accessories like SFP modules, optical splitter, fiber cable, optical connector/adapter/attenuator, fiber closure, patch/pigtail cord, ODF, terminal box, FTTx tools etc.
