PON stick is a network communication device. It is mainly used for access to the broadband network in the home or enterprise, and is one of the main equipment for optical fiber access to the home. The function of the PON stick is to convert the optical signal transmitted by the optical fiber into an electrical signal, and then connect to the computer, router, TV and other equipment through the network cable to achieve network access and transmission.

There are two main types of PON sticks: GPON and EPON. GPON stick is a kind of PON stick based on GPON technology, which can provide more stable and high-speed network transmission, and is widely used in China. EPON stick is a PON stick based on EPON technology, which has a slightly lower transmission rate compared to GPON, but its cost is lower.

The installation and use of PON stick is relatively simple, only need to plug in the optical fiber interface, power supply, network cable can be used. However, it should be noted that the ONU needs to be fixed on the wall or the location of the fixed place during installation, and it is necessary to avoid direct light to the ONU, so as not to affect its normal work.

In short, PON stick is a necessary network access equipment, it can provide users with more high-speed, stable network transmission services, for the user's home or enterprise network construction is of great significance.

Can PON Stick replace ONU dial-up

PON stick and ONU dial-up are both connected to the network through optical fiber, but their working principle and use are different, so they cannot be completely replaced. After connecting to the network through optical fibers, you need to connect an optical modem to convert optical signals into electrical signals, and then connect to a computer or router through a network cable to access the Internet. The PON stick integrates the functions of the ONU into a small device, which can be directly connected to a computer or router through a USB interface, so as to achieve Internet access.

PON stick has certain advantages over ONU dial-up Internet, such as small size, easy to carry, easy to use and so on. However, the performance and function of the PON stick is relatively weak, suitable for some simple Internet access needs, and for high-speed, large traffic network applications, ONU dial-up Internet access is still a more stable and reliable choice.

Therefore, PON stick and ONU dial-up Internet have their own advantages and disadvantages, can not be completely replaced. The Internet access method depends on the actual requirements and usage scenarios.

If it is in the optical broadband access mode, some operators provide PON stick this device, can replace the traditional ONU dial-up Internet access, to achieve direct optical access to the computer or router. The working principle of the PON stick is similar to that of the ONU, but because of its small size and good portability, it can access the optical fiber network and provide network services anytime and anywhere, which is very convenient to use. At the same time, the PON stick can also be connected to a wireless router to achieve wireless network coverage.

However, it is important to note that not all operators offer PON sticks, and the performance and functionality of PON sticks are also different from traditional ONU, and may not be able to meet some special needs. Therefore, when choosing to use PON stick or ONU dial-up Internet access, you need to choose according to your actual situation.

In addition, it should be noted that when using PON stick or ONU dial-up Internet access, you need to comply with the network usage regulations of the operator and relevant laws and regulations to avoid network anomalies or penalties caused by illegal operations.

PON ONU Stick's Application

PON ONU Stick refers to a miniaturized ONU product packaged in SFP/SFP+, Built-in optical modem switching chip, supporting MAC address configuration management and communication protocol conversion. Mainly used on the Ethernet optical port of Ethernet switches to achieve interconnection and interoperability between Ethernet switches and ONT networks. After connected, the Ethernet switch where the optical modem is located becomes an ONT terminal device in the OLT network.

The advantage of using ONU stick is that it can save the space and power supply conditions of traditional optical modem access. Due to the SFP encapsulation of the ONU stick, flexible networking of Ethernet protocol switches, routers and other terminal equipment such as CPE can be easily and quickly implemented through the PON ONT network.

Through testing and verification, C-Light's XGSPON and XGPON ONU stick series products can effectively realize the interconnection and interoperability of OLT equipment such as ZTE, Huawei, FiberHome, BDCOM, Bell,CALIX, ADTRAN and other brands of Ethernet optical terminal equipment.

PON ONU Stick's typical application case

This case is that the XGSPON/GPON combo PON service card on a domestic 6xx series OLT switch is interconnected with the XGSPON optical ONU stick and XPON ONU stick in the 10G/1G optical port of a foreign 2900 series Ethernet switch through the OLT SFP and splitter. The application case of connecting CPE 2900 series Ethernet device to PON broadband network through uplink OLT device is realized. At this time, the C-Light's XGSPON and XPON ONU slicks must first be compatible with the 2900 series switching device, and at the same time, they must be found and recognized by the 6xx OLT that is linked, and then registered into the OLT system. Then C-Light's ONU stick also needs to support the common network application functions of customers, such as Sn management registration; Omcc; MOCl; Imgpv2; Vlan.
