Source Photonics Announces Low Power Consumption GPON SFP ONU and EPON SFP ONU with DPoE OAM

CHATSWORTH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Source Photonics Inc., a leading global provider of optical communication products for Telecom, Datacom and Access networks, announces two new SFP ONUs with embedded MAC for applications in GPON OAM and DOCSIS provisioning of EPON (DPoE).

“It also meets China EPON standard OAM control specifications.”

The 1.25Gbps bi-directional EPON ONU with MAC is part of the DPoE architecture developed for upgrading a CATV point-to-point system to EPON using existing DOCSIS-based back office systems and processes. The ONU is in MSA compliant SFP form-factor and is designed to simply plug into a standard SFP port in the customer premises equipment (CPE). The product offers “plug-and-play” capability via the auto discovery and configuration feature for ease of use. The ONU also features multiple functions including VLAN support, ONU Certification, IGMP Snooping, Traffic Management, Clock Synchronization, Rogue ONU detection and Dying Gasp indication. The transceiver is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3ah standards and supports DPoE v1.0 OAM for CMTS platform applications, as well as optional GE/FE SerDes UNI and SGMII UNI.

The GPON ONU with MAC integrates GPON OMCI Stack and is fully compliant with ITU-T G.984 standards. The GPON SFP-ONU product offers the same expanded feature set as the EPON product, and allows interconnection of a standard Ethernet SFP port to a PON network, in a broad range of network applications including wireless backhaul and FTTx.

“With 1.5 W max power dissipation, the SFP-ONU is designed with feedback from key customers and partners to meet their needs in addressing fast growing segments such as Business services,” said Zachary Lu, Sr. Director of Product Line Management at Source Photonics, adding, “It also meets China EPON standard OAM control specifications.”
