What types of Huawei PON optical modules are there

ODN and passive infrastructure knowledge brief Published 13 Jan 2024

Prepared for preliminary research by the GESTIONVAL ODN knowledge desk. Confirm network topology, split ratio, box or cabinet capacity, joint closure rating and loss budget against current standards and product documentation.

Huawei PON optical modules include GPON, XG-PON, XGS-PON, and combo modules, each designed for specific transmission rates and OLT board compatibility.Main Types of Huawei PON Modules
  1. GPON Optical Module
    • Provides Gigabit-capable passive optical network (GPON) access service.
    • Typically connected via SC optical fiber.
    • Compatible with Huawei MA5600T and MA5800 series boards (e.g., GPHF, GPSF, GPLF, GPUF).
    • Available in optical power classes B+, C+, and C++, with increasing performance:
      • B+: 1.5~5 dBm transmit power, -28 dBm receiver sensitivity
      • C+: 3~7 dBm, -32 dBm
      • C++: 6~10 dBm, -35 dBm .
  2. XG-PON Optical Module
    • Supports 10-Gigabit-capable passive optical network (XG-PON) access service.
    • Connected via SC fiber and compatible with MA5800 series boards (e.g., XGHD, XGLD, XGSF, XGLF).
    • Provides higher bandwidth for demanding applications .
  3. XGS-PON Optical Module
    • Provides 10-Gigabit symmetric PON (XGS-PON) service, supporting equal upstream and downstream rates.
    • Compatible with MA5800 series boards (e.g., TWED).
    • Often uses XFP form factor for high-speed transmission .
  4. Combo Modules (XG-PON & GPON, XGS-PON & GPON)
    • Allow a single OLT board to support multiple PON standards simultaneously.
    • Useful for gradual network upgrades or mixed-service environments .
Form Factors and Features
  • Huawei PON modules are typically hot-swappable and use SFP, SFP+, or XFP form factors depending on speed and application .
  • eSFP modules support monitoring of voltage, temperature, bias current, transmit and receive optical power, enhancing network management .
  • Modules differ in optical power, receiver sensitivity, and EMI tolerance, which affects deployment distance and reliability .
Summary

Huawei PON optical modules are designed to meet diverse network requirements:

  • GPON for standard gigabit access
  • XG-PON for 10 Gbps downstream
  • XGS-PON for symmetric 10 Gbps
  • Combo modules for flexible multi-standard support Choosing the right module depends on OLT board compatibility, required bandwidth, and optical power class to ensure optimal network performance .
