10/100/1000Base-TX (Electrical port)
When use the single mode optical fiber, the maximum transmission distance can be up to 10-40km;
when use the multimode fiber, the maximum transmission distance is less than 500 meters.
Gigabit Ethernet uplink port supports the duplex mode and flow control auto negotiation.
But need note that the maximum length of the optical fiber is related with work mode of the optical
fiber:
Maximum length of 1000Base-LX fiber is depend on duplex mode.
Maximum length of 1000Base-SX fiber is the same in both full duplex and half duplex mode.
3.4.1.2 Port Connection
There are two kinds of uplink network connection:
Cable with RJ45 connectors at both sides
Cable with LC connector at both sides
Decide the port type of OLT according to the port type of the uplink device (Switch or Route).
3.4.1.3 Method of making cable
If you use SFP optical module, cable specification: the optical cable with LC connector at both
sides.
If you use GE copper interface, cable specification: Category 5 cable or Category5 super cable
with RJ45 connector at both sides45.
The below the reference for making STP (Shielded Twisted-Pair) cable with RJ45connector at
both sides.
3.4.2 PON Port Connection
P1200-08 support eight GPON SFP slots, every SFP GPON slots can mount a GPON SFP
module and provides one PON port.
Caution: When insert into optical cable, please confirm the connector is inserted into the
correct position, thus guarantee the good contract.
