Cisco Passive Optical Networking

Simplified way to deploy next-gen passive optical networks

Introducing Cisco Routed PON, a revolutionary solution that integrates a PON pluggable inside the access router to seamlessly converge FTTX access with your end-to-end network. Enhance the economics of FTTX deployment across rural, suburban, and urban areas, delivering high-speed, reliable internet to both residential and business customers.

Learn how Cisco Routed PON enables agile, differentiated broadband services with operational efficiency and at scale.

Cisco XGS-PON OLT SFP+ module

The Cisco XGS-PON (10Gbps symmetrical PON) OLT SFP+ module is a feature-rich OLT device contained in a hot-pluggable SFP+ form factor. It contains a built-in 10G Ethernet-to-XGS-PON OLT MAC Bridge IC and optical transceiver. It offers a maximum split ratio of 1:128. This is an ODN Class N2 transceiver.

Converge your IP and optical networks onto a single layer with the XGS-PON small form-factor pluggable (SFP).

Cisco^® 10G Routed PON modules enable the Cisco Routed PON Solution. Cisco 10G Routed PON simplifies the network with pluggable form factor Optical Line Terminals (OLTs) and a software controller on Cisco NCS 540, NCS5500, and NCS 5700 that converges ethernet and PON services. The Cisco Routed PON Solution replaces dedicated PON chassis with a multiservice router, increasing flexibility and reducing network footprint and power consumption.
