Source Photonics Announces the Availability of the Industry-First Integrated, Pluggable GPON SFP ONU with Network Clock Synchronization Capability

Source Photonics today announces the industry-first integrated, pluggable GPON SFP ONU with 1 Pulse-Per-Second (1PPS) and Time-of-Day (ToD) support for network clock synchronization. The family of GPON ONU SFP transceiver products is based on the ITU-G.984.2, G.988, and the Broadband Forum TR-156 standards, and offers full GPON OMCI stack, an SGMII interface operating at 1Gbit/s or 2.5Gbit/s, and full digital diagnostics monitoring capability. Available in industrial-temperature grade, and with low typical power dissipation of 1.5W, the integrated GPON SFP ONU is well-suited for mobile small-cell backhaul applications.

In the same product family of integrated pluggable GPON ONUs, Source Photonics offers a version with fully implemented IEEE 1588v2 capability for network clock synchronization, in an SFP package with standard pin-out. Both versions with network clock features are available in standard GPON wavelength configuration, as well as option for CWDM multi-wavelength versions to support wavelength overlay on existing installations to maximize the fiber utilization of the PON ODN plant.

The product family of pluggable GPON ONUs complements Source Photonics’ broad product offering of optical interfaces for mobile infrastructure applications. With a comprehensive range of CPRI and OBSAI based optical transceivers from 1Gb/s to 10Gb/s data rate shipping in volume to major infrastructure equipment manufacturers for major deployments globally, Source Photonics is an established market leader for optical components for C-RAN, antenna front-haul, and small-cell back-haul.
