Factory match

GPON OLT factory lines for a comparable chassis quote

A gpon olt factory reply is useful only when every bidder prices the same port count, the same optic class, and the same US destination. LinkScope Sourcing 10 writes that common basis. It does not own a plant and it does not publish a shelf of finished OLTs.

Interfaces a factory must price as separate lines

PON face

State 2, 4, or 8 PON ports. Name single-mode fiber, SC/APC or SC/UPC, and whether the port is a fixed optic or an SFP cage. A 2.488 Gbit/s downstream rate does not describe the connector.

Uplink and power

Record the uplink type, the AC or DC input, and the rack unit. A -48 V DC shelf and a 100-240 V AC pizza box are different power lines. Do not fold them into the PON price.

Management

Ask which software license, if any, is required before a PON port can be brought up in 2026. A blank license field is an exclusion, not a free feature. Host compatibility of an SFP is a separate question.

ITU-T G.984.2 lists Class B+ with a 28 dB minimum optical budget and Class C+ with a 32 dB minimum. Ask the gpon olt factory which class the quoted port uses, and for transmit power plus receiver sensitivity at 1490 nm downstream and 1310 nm upstream. A 1550 nm overlay for RF video is another line if the plant still carries it.

Commercial scope sits beside the optic class. Quantity, currency, per-chassis or whole-order basis, Incoterm, freight, duties, and the requested week all change the number a buyer can compare. An optional target budget is the buyer ceiling. It is not a price this desk has already received.

Questions each factory answers in writing

What is in the chassis price?

List the model, the number of fitted optics, spare cages, power supplies, and fans. An 8-port faceplate with two optics fitted is not the same offer as eight Class C+ modules. Write the difference as two quote rows.

Which costs stay outside?

Freight to the US destination, duties, commissioning, spare SFPs, and a management license often sit outside a chassis unit price. Ask for each exclusion by name. A single delivered total hides the comparison.

What evidence travels with the model?

Request a current datasheet tied to the exact model, the optical class, the temperature range, and any FCC equipment-authorization file if that file applies to the radio or digital device being proposed. This desk does not certify the file.

What does a new versus surplus chassis change?

A new 2026 build can carry a current software train and a full accessory kit. Surplus can cover a legacy shelf when condition, remaining license, and warranty words are written down. Price those conditions apart. No installed-base count is claimed here.

Background for a typical handoff: a buyer in 2026 needs four live PON ports on day one and four cages empty for a later splitter node. The process is to send both the equipped count and the empty-cage count to each factory. The result is two numbers, not one blended gpon olt factory price. LinkScope Sourcing 10 stops at that split. Acceptance of the chassis stays with the buyer.

Limits that stay on the brief: a datasheet optical budget is not a fiber-plant calculation; a port count is not a count of licensed ports; an outdoor cabinet at -40 C can sit outside a 0 C to 50 C commercial range. Dispersion, insertion loss of the splitter, and return loss of the connector are plant questions. They are not answered by the chassis sticker.
