GPON OLT 8 port price briefs before factory quotations

LinkScope Sourcing 10 collects a gpon olt 8 port price request from US buyers and asks factories to price the same chassis, optic class, and destination. The desk does not stock OLTs and it does not sign a compliance file.

  • Faceplate count: 8 PON ports, and how many ship with optics fitted
  • Downstream 2.488 Gbit/s and upstream 1.244 Gbit/s, if the sheet follows ITU-T G.984
  • Quantity of chassis, US destination, and the week the site needs them

Evidence lines on an 8-port chassis quote

Four buyer-owned checks sit under a gpon olt 8 port price. Each cell is a question for the proposed model, not a claim that this desk already tested it.

StageBuyer recordsFactory must answer
Define 8 PON ports, single-mode, 1490 nm down / 1310 nm up Exact model, and whether optics are fixed or SFP cages
Class ITU-T G.984.2 Class B+ at 28 dB, or Class C+ at 32 dB Transmit power and receiver sensitivity for that class
Plant 1:32 or 1:64 split, fiber km, connector count Whether the optical budget still clears after splitter loss
Compare Chassis count, currency, Incoterm, destination Unit price, optic line, license, freight, and exclusions

A 0.35 dB/km planning figure at 1490 nm over 20 km is about 7 dB of fiber loss before splices. That worksheet number is not a factory test. Switching capacity and PoE budget belong on an Ethernet switch line, not on this OLT row.

Product families that stay on separate RFQs

GPON OLT chassis

The headend box. Record port count, power input, rack unit, and temperature. An 8-port quote and a 4-port quote are different commercial lines even when the PON rate is the same 2.488 Gbit/s downstream.

PON optics

Fixed modules or an optical SFP. Wavelength, optical budget, and diagnostics stay with the optic. A blank cage at 0 USD of optic cost is not an equipped port.

Outside plant beside the OLT

Splitters, drop cable, and cabinets can ride along when the buyer lists them as extra lines. Their insertion loss is not a property of the chassis price.

Open the inquiry catalog for the names already prepared, or read the procurement brief before you send quantities.

RFQ questions on the 8-port price

Does 8 on the faceplate mean 8 live PON ports?

No. Count installed optics, licensed ports, and spare cages separately. A 2026 chassis can show eight openings and ship with two Class B+ modules fitted. The gpon olt 8 port price should say which of those states it covers.

Which optical class should the sheet name?

ITU-T first published G.984.2 in 2003, and later amendments kept the class table. Class B+ is a 28 dB minimum optical budget. Class C+ is 32 dB. Ask the factory which class the exact port uses, plus transmit power and receiver sensitivity at 1490 nm and 1310 nm.

Can a multimode optic fill a GPON port?

GPON outside plant is single-mode. A multimode module may cost less in a short data-hall link and still fail mode-field and wavelength checks on a 1490 nm PON. Keep that trade-off on the headend page.

What is missing from a headline chassis number?

Power supplies, fan trays, management licenses, SFPs, freight, duties, and commissioning. LinkScope Sourcing 10 has no customer case that prices those extras. They stay as open lines until a factory writes them.

LinkScope Sourcing 10 is an independent sourcing partner. After the form arrives, the next step is to check product, quantity, destination, and sourcing requirements with you. No percentage saving is published on this page.

  • A missing port count or optic class stops the comparison.
  • Drawings can follow by the email you provide. There is no upload field.
  • A target budget is optional and is not a live factory price.
