Groundbreaking XGS-PON and GPON Combo OLT SFP+ optical transceiver released

Integra Optics has launched its latest innovation, the XGS-PON and GPON combo OLT SFP+ BiDi optical transceiver module. This module integrates the functionality of XG(S) PON OLT and GPON OLT optical modules, facilitating seamless network rate deployment within ODNs based on ONU requirements.

This transceiver module allows a smooth transition from GPON to XG/XGS-PON, effectively future-proofing network infrastructures against evolving demands without needing infrastructure overhaul. A standout feature is its ability to support up to 20km reach over single-mode fibre (SMF) at 10/2.5G and 10/10Gbps data rates, ensuring robust and efficient long-distance connectivity. It adheres to the SFP+ MSA and is compliant with GPON/XGS-PON standards, showcasing its versatility and readiness for diverse network environments.

The product accommodates many operational conditions, providing industrial operating temperature (-40C to +85C) and commercial temperature (0C to +70C) versions, making it ideal for various deployment scenarios.

A key advantage of the device is the elimination of the necessity for external wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) equipment, simplifying network architectures and greatly lowering construction and maintenance costs.

Furthermore, the module features a Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) interface as per the QSFP28 MSA, enhancing network reliability through real-time monitoring and diagnostics.

“The integration of GPON and XGS-PON functionalities into a single optical module not only signifies a leap in technology but exemplifies our commitment to innovation and understanding the needs of the telecommunications sector,” said senior engineering manager Marlena Miller. “This module is designed to solve real-world networking challenges, offering unparalleled distance coverage, compliance with industry standards, temperature versatility and a simplified network design.”
