About This Part
The Neophotonics PTB38J0-6538E-SC/KE is a high-performance Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) Optical Line Terminal (OLT) transceiver module, engineered for robust fiber-to-the-home/building (FTTH/FTTB) deployments. This specific module, manufactured by Neophotonics, functions as the crucial interface between the OLT aggregation equipment and the passive optical distribution network. It adheres to the ITU-T G.984 GPON standard, providing asymmetric data rates of 2.5 Gbps downstream and 1.25 Gbps upstream. Designed for extended reach, it supports optical links up to 20 kilometers, making it suitable for diverse metropolitan and rural access network architectures. The module incorporates Class B+ optics, ensuring a robust optical power budget essential for reliable signal transmission across the passive splitter network to multiple Optical Network Units (ONUs). It typically features an SC/UPC or SC/APC connector for seamless integration into OLT chassis, operating with standard GPON wavelengths (1490nm for downstream and 1310nm for upstream). Its primary role is to aggregate traffic from numerous ONUs, providing high-bandwidth connectivity to end-users. The Part Number PTB38J0-6538E-SC/KE is typically deployed within the OLT chassis located at central offices, local exchanges, or data centers, serving as the gateway to the GPON access network. It is compatible with a wide array of vendor-agnostic OLT platforms that support standard SFP or SFP+ form factor GPON transceivers, enabling broad interoperability. Telecommunication operators, internet service providers (ISPs), and large enterprise campus networks leverage these modules to deliver high-speed broadband services, including IPTV, VoIP, and high-speed internet access, to residential and business subscribers. This module is instrumental in expanding fiber optic infrastructure, enabling service providers to meet increasing demands for bandwidth while reducing operational costs associated with traditional copper-based networks. It effectively replaces older, lower-capacity access technologies, facilitating a smooth upgrade path to future-proof, all-fiber networks, thereby enhancing network performance, reliability, and scalability for a growing subscriber base. Its robust design ensures consistent performance in demanding network environments. Revo Distribution Limited specializes in providing B2B clients with high-quality used and refurbished telecom and data centre equipment, including modules like the Neophotonics PTB38J0-6538E-SC/KE. For telecom operators and data centre providers seeking cost-effective infrastructure solutions, acquiring refurbished GPON OLT transceivers from Revo offers significant advantages. These units enable operators to expand or upgrade their networks efficiently without the substantial capital expenditure typically associated with new equipment procurement. Revo's rigorous testing and refurbishment processes ensure that each unit meets stringent performance standards, providing reliable operation comparable to new hardware. By offering these components, Revo Distribution Limited plays a crucial role in extending the operational lifecycle of existing network infrastructure, allowing companies to maximize their return on investment and maintain service continuity. This approach not only supports sustainable network development but also provides a flexible and economical option for rapid network deployment and capacity scaling. Revo's inventory allows businesses to maintain legacy systems or integrate new technologies without incurring prohibitive costs.
