Zhone PON Splitters & WDM Combiners
PON 4RU Chassis
The PON shelf is a 4RU chassis that can accommodate up to 12 single
PON splitters or WDM Combiners LGX modules. The chassis is flexible
enough to allow for the installation of the modules in the front or in the
rear part of the chassis. The chassis also includes two fiber management
brackets that can be installed both in the front and in the rear part of the
chassis.
PON Splitter 1xN/2xN modules
The PON shelf can accommodate several types of PON splitters LGX
modules. The PON splitter modules feature low insertion loss, low
polarization dependant loss and high port-to-port uniformity. All the
modules include SC/APC connectors.
PON Splitter 1x32/2x32 (1RU) and 1x64/2x64 (2RU)
The PON splitters 1x32/2x32 and 1x64/2x64 are available in 1RU and
2RU rack mounting format, respectively. The PON splitters feature low
insertion loss, low polarization dependant loss and high port-to-port
uniformity. Both models include SC/APC connectors.
WDM Combiner modules
The PON shelf can also accommodate different types of WDM Combiner
LGX modules. The WDM Combiner modules are to be used when RF
video overlay (RF @ 1550 nm) service is provided. The WDM Combiner
modules feature low insertion loss, low polarization dependant loss and
low ripple. All the modules include SC/APC connectors for the combined
port (1310/1490/1550 nm) and the RF @ 1550 nm port.
Wall Mounting Brackets
When limited space is an issue for the PON splitter or WDM combiner
module installation, Zhone also offers wall mounting brackets for these
modules.
