Calix E7-20 GPON-8x

D E S C R I P T I O N
The Calix E7 GPON-8x line card provides eight ITU G.984-compliant Gigabit
Passive Optical Network (GPON) Optical Line Terminal (OLT) interfaces. The E7
GPON-8x line card operates in any of the E7-20 system’s 20 universal line card
slots, for a system capacity of 160 OLT ports. Each OLT PON can support up to
64 Optical Network Terminations (ONTs) for a total of 512 subscribers per card.

GPON: The Calix E7 GPON-8x card provides multiservice NETWORK RESILIENCY: All Calix E7-20 cards are part
capability over IP/Ethernet-based networks. Each GPON-8x of a system that supports a flexible set of standards-based
provides 8 GPON OLT ports that subtend up to 64 ONTs network topology protocols for use in aggregation, ring-
each, for a card capacity of 512 GPON ONTs per card.. based transport, and uplink.
Subscriber services are aggregated to the central Switch  ITU G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS)
Control Processor (SCP) for network connectivity at rates up
 IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP)
