Introduction

The MA5608T Mini OLT is designed to address Fiber to the premise (FTTP) or deep fiber deployment scenarios where a large OLT chassis may not be the best fit for a variety of reasons. Huawei’s mini OLT MA5608T is designed to be the perfect complement to the other MA5600 series larger OLTs and offers the same carrier grade features and performance.

MA5608T’s compact and front access design make it an ideal solution for deployments in locations such as space-constrained huts, outdoor cabinets or building basements. It has AC and DC powering options,extended temperature range, and offers easy installation.

Designed to support ever-increasing bandwidth demand, MA5608T has 200 Gbps backplane. The combination of the high-capacity and line interfaces with best-in-class performance allows the operators to deliver a range of services for maximum revenue at highly competitive cost points.

The MA5608T shares the same product architecture with the MA5600 series OLTs to allow seamless network growth.

Highlights Convergence and access integration
• Provides super large convergence switching capacity. Specifically, an MA5600T series device supports 3.2 Tbit/s backplane
capacity, 1,920 Gbit/s switching capacity, and 512,000 MAC addresses.
• Provides super high-density cascading capability. Specifically, an MA5600T series device supports a maximum of 46 x 10GE 

or 768 GE services, with no additional convergence switches.

High Reliability:
• Provides highly reliable networking capabilities and ensures dual-OLT hot backup, remote disaster tolerance, and service upgrades without interruption.
• Provides comprehensive Quality of Service (QoS) functions and supports traffic classification management, priority control, and bandwidth control. The Hierarchical-Quality of Service (H-QoS) function meets various Service Level Agreement (SLA)
requirements of commercial customers.
• Provides an End-to-End (E2E) highly reliable design, enabling Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD), Smart Link, Link,Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) redundancy protection and GPON type B/type C line protection in the upstream direction.

Multi-Scenario Access:
• Supports access of multiple E1 private line services, and Native Time-Division Multiplexing (TDM) or Circuit Emulation Services over Packet (CESoP)/ Structure-Agnostic TDM over Packet (SAToP) function.
• Supports the Emulated Local Area Network (ELAN) function and Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN)-based internal traffic exchange, satisfying enterprise and community network application requirements.
• Supports non-convergence access of Internet Protocol television (IPTV) users. One subrack supports 8,000 multicast users and 4,000 multicast channels.

Smooth Evolution:
• Supports GPON, 10G Passive Optical Network (PON), and 40G PON on a platform, enabling smooth evolution and achieving ultra-bandwidth access.
• Supports IPv4/IPv6 dual stacks and IPv6 multicast, enabling smooth evolution from IPv4 to IPv6.

Energy Saving:
• Uses special chips for conserving power. Specifically, 16 ports on a GPON board consume less than 73 W of power.
• Supports idle board automatic power-off and intelligent fan speed adjustment, effectively lowering idle board power consumption.
