Wow, I wonder if they have ap notes. From: Gerard Dupont III via Af Sent: Sunday, October 19, 2014 10:40 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Gpon or 10g-pon sfp...when?
There are actually multiple vendors selling SFP modules with built in EPON/GPON functionality that present themselves as a normal SFP module. I don't know of any for XGPON or any of the newer standards though. http://www.finisar.com/sites/default/files/pdf/FTGN2117P2CUN_FTGN2117P2TUN_GPON_Stick_Pluggable_SFP_ONU_Product_Brief_1_2014_V2.pdf http://www.sfp-xfp.com/products/gpon-stick.html http://www.dasannetworks.com/product_images/H640SFP_20140221220235.pdf Gerard On Sun, Oct 19, 2014 at 10:53 AM, Paul Conlin via Af <[email protected]> wrote: GPON technology is not housed in the SFP module as that is only the laser and diodes. The timing smarts central to GPON is on the board. Not saying Mikrotik couldn’t do it just that it is not a compatibility with a plug-in thing. I don’t know if GPON has been boiled down to a chipset and reference design yet. If so, then it could happen but it still wouldn’t be a plug-in. 10G XGPON 1 and 2 is not likely to be popular until 2016 or so. And then it will still need considerable time to see the prices of the new lasers to come down far enough to make it cost effective for the ONT. So you have a long wait for that one.

How far away are we from seeing a gpon olt sfp module that would be mikrotik compatible? Would be nice to use a ccr 12s and be able to serve hundreds of customers. Seems like we aren't real close though ?
