Zhone PON Splitters & WDM Combiners

In a PON (Passive Optical Network), each end user has an ONT

office or remote cabinet in an OLT (Optical Line Terminal). Between
the OLT and the ONT may be one or two stages of passive splitters,
which split the connection to multiple end points (up to 64), and
WDM combiners, when RF overlay services are also being offered.

Zhone’s complete end-to-end GPON solutions with MALC-OLT, optical
splitter packages and zNID-ONT is the most complete FTTH platform
delivering converged broadband services in the industry.

Zhone PON Splitters & WDM Combiners

PON 4RU Chassis

The PON shelf is a 4RU chassis that can accommodate up to 12 single

PON splitters or WDM Combiners LGX modules. The chassis is

flexible enough to allow for the installation of the modules in the front

or in the rear part of the chassis. The chassis also includes two fiber

management brackets that can be installed both in the front and in the

rear part of the chassis.

PON Splitter 1x2, 1x4, 1x8, and 1x16 modules

The PON shelf can accommodate several types of PON splitters LGX

modules. The PON splitter modules feature low insertion loss, low

polarization dependant loss and high port-to-port uniformity. All the

modules include SC/APC connectors.

PON Splitter 1x32 (1RU) and 1x64 (2RU)

The PON splitters 1x32 and 1x64 are available in 1RU and 2RU rack

mounting format, respectively. The PON splitters feature low insertion

loss, low polarization dependant loss and high port-to-port uniformity.

Both models include SC/APC connectors.

WDM Combiner modules

The PON shelf can also accommodate different types of WDM

Combiner LGX modules. The WDM Combiner modules are to be used

when RF video overlay (RF @ 1550 nm) service is provided. The

WDM Combiner modules feature low insertion loss, low polarization

dependant loss and low ripple. All the modules include SC/APC

connectors for the combined port (1310/1490/1550 nm) and the RF @

1550 nm port.

Wall Mounting Brackets

When limited space is an issue for the PON splitter or WDM combiner

module installation, Zhone also offers wall mounting brackets for

these modules.
