Topic: GPON and Mikrotik
This topic is intended to be a discussion about using Mikrotik routers/switches in a GPON fiber connected network.
Use case; Where an ISP utilizes a GPON fiber-to-the-home optical network , and the customer/client end of the fiber network is a Mikrotik device that connects directly to the GPON fiber using a SFP port on a Mikrotik. ( Note - as of this date - Mikrotik does not manufacture routers or switches with built-in GPON. )
*** However - now discontinued , Mikrotik did have a GPON SFP product called "GPON ONU module" which their web page identified it as "Pluggable GPON ONU interface for Fiber to Home" -and- the physical SFP module had the marking on it * Mikrotik FOXCONN S-GPON-ONU *
I want to discuss what SFP products ISP's are now using to connect their Mikrotik products to a GPON network ( what works and what to avoid ).
I would like to use a format similar to the following:
Manufacturer
Product-Part-Number
Product name
Notes
mfg: Mikrotik
part#: SFPONU
name: GPON ONU module
notes: Discontinued - I experienced thermal problems when located in outdoor enclosures
mfg: FS
part#: GPON-ONU-34-20BI
name: GPON ONU Stick with MAC SFP 1310nm-TX/1490nm-RX 1.244G-TX/2.488G-RX Class B+ 20km DOM Simplex SC/APC SMF Optical Transceiver Module (Industrial).
notes: Shipping - I have tested these indoors and they work
notes: Head-end ( OLT ): Adtran TA 5000
notes: Client ( ONU ): Mikrotik RB962UiGS-5HacT2HnT ROS-Version: 7.18.2
notes: I have not yet tested in outdoor enclosure on a warm/hot summer day
notes: US $65.00 , about 4.7K Sold
notes: I configured a DHCP-client on the SFP interface and the Mikrotik came up ( also put the Serial # in the OLT )
Please post what you are using and your comments
