Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical line terminal technology, specifically to a hybrid optoelectronic OLT based on GPON technology. Background Technology
[0002] An Optical Line Terminal (OLT) is a core central office device in a Passive Optical Network (PON). It plays a crucial role in fiber optic communication systems, converting electrical signals into optical signals for transmission to user-end equipment (such as ONUs or ONTs). Simultaneously, it converts optical signals from the user end back into electrical signals for further processing and transmission. OLTs are widely used in various fiber optic access network scenarios, including home broadband networks, enterprise networks, government and school networks, etc. They provide users with high-speed, stable, and low-cost broadband access services, meeting users' demands for high-quality network connections.
[0003] However, the OLT used in traditional PON systems typically uses separate optical cables and power lines to connect to the user terminal and power supply. This approach results in low integration, system complexity, inconvenient operation and maintenance, and also increases manufacturing and usage costs. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0019] Please see Figure 1 The present invention provides a technical solution: a hybrid optoelectronic OLT based on GPON technology, comprising a terminal body 1, a splitter 2, a junction box 3, a hybrid optoelectronic cable 4, and a power supply 5;
[0020] Terminal 1 specifically adopts an OLT based on GPON technology. GPON (Gigabit-Capable Passive Optical Network) technology is a broadband passive optical integrated access technology based on the ITU-T G.984.x standard to achieve advantages such as high speed, high efficiency, and security. It has become a leader in the future broadband access field, suitable for various service scenarios, and meets users' needs for network speed and bandwidth. Located in the central office, it is responsible for connecting with the front-end switch, converting electrical signals into optical signals, and interconnecting with the optical splitter 2 at the user end through a single optical fiber to realize the control, management, and ranging functions of the optical network unit. Terminal 1 includes an uplink port 101 and an optical module 102. The uplink port 101 is used to connect to the switch, and the optical module 102 is connected to the input end of the optical splitter 2 through an optical fiber.
[0021] Beam splitter 2 is a passive device, also known as an optical splitter. It does not require external energy, only input light. Beam splitter 2 consists of entrance and exit slits, a mirror, and a dispersive element. It is used to separate the required resonant absorption line for beam splitting. Beam splitter 2 is located inside terminal body 1. The photoelectric flange 6 on the terminal block 3 is connected to the output end of beam splitter 2. The output end of beam splitter 2 is also connected to an external beam splitter separately through optical flange 7. In order to achieve high integration, terminal body 1 integrates beam splitter 2, photoelectric flange 6, and power supply 5.
[0022] The junction box 3 is equipped with photoelectric flanges 6, which are connected to the optical network unit via a hybrid photoelectric cable 4. The photoelectric flanges 6 specifically adopt the standard square connector of SC photoelectric flange to provide a fast and stable connection, suitable for application sites requiring rapid connection. There are 32 photoelectric flanges 6, which are evenly divided into 32 channels by the splitter 2 and are set on the junction box 3. The remaining one is a separate non-uniformly cascaded output connected to an external splitter. The photoelectric output ends of all 32 photoelectric flanges 6 can be connected to the hybrid photoelectric cable 4. Through PoF technology, the hybrid photoelectric cable 4 is used to power the optical network unit and transmit data. The hybrid photoelectric cable 4 is a hybrid cable that integrates optical fiber and conductive copper wire, which can solve the problems of data transmission and equipment power supply with a single cable, greatly facilitating connection and use.
[0023] The photoelectric flange 6 is connected to both the optical network unit and the power supply 5 of the user terminal equipment. The power supply 5 is located inside the terminal body 1 and is connected to the photoelectric flange 6 on the junction box 3. Specifically, it uses 54V voltage and 800W power, which is distributed to 32 photoelectric flange 6 connection ports to supply power to the optical network unit connected to the user terminal. Each port has a maximum power of 80W. The number of photoelectric flanges 6 is not limited to 32 channels. The number of photoelectric flanges 6 and the distribution ratio of even and uneven channels can be selected according to different needs.
[0024] In this invention, the working steps of the device are as follows:
[0025] The optical network unit at the user end can be connected to the optoelectronic flange 6 on the junction box 3 via the optoelectronic hybrid cable 4, the terminal body 1 is connected to the switch via the uplink port 101, and then the junction box 3 is connected to the power supply 5;
[0026] When in use, the terminal body 1 controls, manages, and measures the distance of the optical network unit, while the optical-electric hybrid cable 4 can directly enable the connected optical network unit to transmit data and receive power from the power supply 5.
[0027] The external splitter connected to the other optical flange 7 in a separate cascade can be adjusted according to the user's actual needs or the specific configuration of the network to meet the specific requirements of different users or services.
