What is the difference between GPON and EPON?

GPON offers higher downstream bandwidth and better QoS. EPON provides symmetric bandwidth at lower cost. GPON supports split ratios up to 1:128 for wider coverage.

Which ONU/ONT is compatible with my OLT?

Our L880G and L801 series ONUs support XPON dual-mode and work with Huawei, ZTE, FiberHome and other major OLT brands. Contact support to confirm compatibility.

What is the difference between SC/APC and SC/UPC connectors?

SC/APC (Angled Physical Contact) and SC/UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) are two common fiber optic connector polish types. The key difference is the end-face angle.SC/UPC: Flat end-face with slight curve, return loss ≥50dB. Used for general-purpose data transmission. Blue color.SC/APC: 8° angled end-face, return loss ≥60dB. Used for RF video transmission (CATV) and PON networks. Green color.They are NOT interchangeable — mixing them can damage the connector end-face.

How do I choose the right fiber optic splitter for my network?

Choosing the right fiber optic splitter depends on several factors:Type: PLC splitters offer better performance for FTTx; FBT splitters suit smaller setupsRatio: Common ratios: 1×2, 1×4, 1×8, 1×16, 1×32, 1×64Package: ABS box (indoor), Mini steel tube (tight spaces), LGX cassette (rack mount)Connector: SC/APC for CATV, SC/UPC for dataFor GPON/EPON FTTH deployments, a 1×8 or 1×16 PLC splitter with SC/APC connectors is recommended.

What is the maximum distance for fiber optic transmission?

Fiber optic transmission distance depends on fiber type and equipment:Single-mode fiber (OS2): Up to 40km+ without amplificationMulti-mode fiber (OM1-OM5): 300m to 550m at 10GbpsGPON: Typically 20km reachEPON: Typically 20kmXGS-PON: Up to 40km1550nm wavelength has lower attenuation (≈0.2dB/km) vs 1310nm (≈0.35dB/km). For standard GPON FTTH, 20km is typical from OLT to ONU.

How do I configure an ONU/ONT for my fiber network?

Configuring an ONU/ONT involves these steps:Connect: Plug fiber cable into PON port, Ethernet to your router/PCPower on: Wait for PON LED to turn solid (optical signal received)Access web: Set PC to same subnet (192.168.1.x), open ONU IP (usually 192.168.1.1)Configure WAN: Set connection type (PPPoE, DHCP, or Static IP) per ISP requirementsRegister: Some ISPs require registration via serial number, LOID password, or MAC address

What is XGS-PON and how is it different from GPON?

XGS-PON (10 Gigabit Symmetric PON) is the next-generation PON technology offering 10Gbps symmetric bandwidth. Key differences from GPON:Speed: GPON = 2.5Gbps down / 1.25Gbps up. XGS-PON = 10Gbps both directionsWavelength: XGS-PON uses 1577nm down / 1270nm up (different from GPON's 1490nm/1310nm)Coexistence: XGS-PON can share the same fiber with GPON via WDMXGS-PON ONUs work with dual-mode OLTs but need an XGS-PON port for 10G speeds. Ideal for 4K/8K streaming, cloud computing, and enterprise use.

How Many Homes Can One OLT Port Serve?

In GPON networks, one OLT port typically serves 32 to 128 homes, depending on the split ratio. A 1:32 splitter is most common for FTTH deployments. With XGS-PON, one port can serve 256+ subscribers. Actual capacity depends on bandwidth per user — if each user needs 100Mbps, a GPON port (2.5Gbps down) handles ~25 users at peak. For our 2-port EPON OLT (L202), each port supports up to 64 ONUs, giving a total of 128 homes per device.

How Is GPON Data Secured on Fiber Optic Networks?

GPON uses AES-128 encryption to secure downstream data. Each ONU receives only its own data — the OLT encrypts traffic with a unique key per ONU. Upstream data is inherently secure because each ONU transmits in its assigned time slot. AES encryption is enabled by default in most OLTs like our EPON/GPON models. For additional security, MAC address filtering and ONU authentication are supported.

Is Fiber Optic Cheaper Than Copper in the Long Run?

Yes. While fiber optic cabling costs 20-30% more upfront, its total cost of ownership (TCO) over 10 years is 40-60% lower than copper. Fiber supports 40Gbps+ bandwidth vs copper's 10Gbps limit, has 25+ year lifespan (copper: 5-10 years), and needs no signal repeaters for up to 40km. For ISPs, the breakeven point is typically 2-3 years. Our single-mode fiber patch cables and splitters provide reliable long-term infrastructure.

PLC Splitter Selection Guide: Types, Splitting Ratios & Package Forms Explained

29/04/2026 Langzhi Technology

Complete PLC Splitter selection guide. Learn about 1xN/2xN splitters, splitting ratios, package types (mini, plug-in, rack-mount), and FTTH applications. Langzhi offers high-quality PLC splitters for all network scenarios.

What is a PLC Splitter?

A PLC Splitter (Planar Lightwave Circuit Splitter) is a key passive component in FTTH networks. It splits one optical signal into multiple output channels uniformly. Compared to traditional FBT (Fused Biconical Taper) splitters, PLC splitters offer better uniformity, wider operating wavelength range, compact size, and higher reliability.

Langzhi Technology offers a full range of high-quality PLC splitter products for global FTTH deployments.

PLC vs FBT Splitter Comparison

Uniformity: PLC ±0.5dB vs FBT ±1.5dB
Wavelength Range: PLC 1260-1650nm vs FBT narrow band
Split Ratios: PLC 1x4 to 1x128 vs FBT 1x2 to 1x8
Temperature Stability: PLC excellent vs FBT moderate

Types by Splitting Ratio

1x4 PLC Splitter - For small FTTH distribution (4 users)
1x8 PLC Splitter - Standard building distribution (8 users)
1x16 PLC Splitter - Most common for medium FTTH networks
1x32 PLC Splitter - Large FTTH networks (32 users)
1x64 PLC Splitter - High-density deployments

Types by Package Form

Mini Type - Bare fiber, smallest size for terminal boxes
Plug-in Type - With connectors, for ODF cassette slots
Rack-Mount Type - 19-inch standard rack for central offices
Tray Type - Installed in ODF splice trays

Selection Guide

Choose splitting ratio based on users per PON port (GPON: 1x32 or 1x64, EPON: 1x16 or 1x32). Select SC/APC fiber connectors for FTTH. Choose package based on installation environment.
