Neophotonics introduces 10G PON transceivers

The new transceivers expand the company's portfolio of GPON and GEPON modules used in 'fibre-to-the-premise' (FTTP) networks around the world.

These new pluggable 10G OLT and ONU transceivers enhance Neophotonics' existing line of GPON and GEPON modules for optical line terminals (OLTs) and optical networking units (ONUs), which are deployed in central offices and at customer premises respectively.

Together, these OLT and ONU devices form a portfolio of small-form-factor transceivers for 10G PON system manufacturers.

The ITU-T G987.2-compatible transceivers support data rates of 10G in the downstream direction and 2.5G burst-mode transmission in the upstream direction, covering nominal link budgets of 29dB and 31dB.

The IEEE 802.3av-compatible transceivers support data rates of 10G in the downstream direction and 1G burst-mode transmission in the upstream direction, covering link budgets of up to 30.5dB.

The OLT transceivers are offered in the XFP form factor, whereas the ONU transceivers come in the space- and power-saving SFP+ form factor.

Monitoring features enable early fault location and reduce downtime in system operation.
