About This Part
The Part Number GFBT, known as the ZTE GFBT, is a high-density optical line terminal (OLT) interface board engineered for advanced fiber access networks. As a crucial component within ZTE's comprehensive OLT platforms, this line card integrates seamlessly to deliver robust GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Network) and XG-PON (10-Gigabit Symmetric Passive Optical Network) capabilities. Specifically designed with 16 D2 optical ports, the GFBT board supports the ITU-T G.984 and G.987 standards, facilitating high-speed broadband service delivery. Each port is capable of providing downstream data rates of 2.488 Gbps for GPON and 9.953 Gbps for XG-PON, with corresponding upstream rates of 1.244 Gbps and 2.488 Gbps, respectively. The D2 optical budget ensures extended reach and robust performance in diverse deployment scenarios, making it suitable for demanding last-mile connectivity requirements. This board is essential for aggregating traffic from numerous optical network units (ONUs) or optical network terminals (ONTs) and forwarding it to the OLT's backplane for uplink transmission. The ZTE GFBT board is primarily deployed within central office or remote cabinet environments, integrated into compatible ZTE Optical Line Terminal chassis. Its application is fundamental in constructing and expanding Fiber-to-the-x (FTTx) networks, including Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) and Fiber-to-the-Building (FTTB) architectures. Telecommunication operators, internet service providers (ISPs), and large-scale enterprise networks globally leverage this type of high-density GPON/XG-PON interface to deliver high-speed, reliable broadband services. The GFBT addresses critical challenges such as increasing subscriber demand for higher bandwidth, supporting advanced triple-play services (voice, video, data), and future-proofing network infrastructure against evolving technological requirements. By enabling the aggregation of numerous subscriber connections over a single fiber, it significantly reduces operational costs and simplifies network management. This board serves as an essential upgrade path for existing GPON deployments looking to introduce XG-PON capabilities for enhanced speeds or as a core component for new, high-capacity fiber access rollouts, effectively replacing or augmenting legacy copper-based access technologies. For B2B clients seeking cost-effective yet high-performance infrastructure solutions, Revo Distribution Limited offers used and professionally refurbished units of the ZTE GFBT. Our inventory provides a vital resource for telecom operators, internet service providers, and data centre providers looking to expand or upgrade their fiber access networks without incurring the substantial capital expenditure associated with new equipment. Each Part Number GFBT unit supplied by Revo undergoes rigorous testing and refurbishment processes to ensure it meets stringent operational standards, delivering reliability and performance comparable to new hardware. By offering these high-quality, pre-owned components, Revo enables clients to extend the operational lifecycle of their existing ZTE OLT platforms, ensuring continued service delivery and maximizing return on investment. This approach not only supports sustainable network development by promoting equipment reuse but also provides immediate availability for critical network expansions or replacements, allowing businesses to respond swiftly to market demands and maintain competitive advantage.
