[0002] PON technology is a crucial method for carrying broadband access network services. With the development and popularization of high-bandwidth services such as 4K video and virtual reality, the demand for bandwidth continues to grow. The existing 100M / 200M access bandwidth can no longer meet users' service needs. The broadband industry is entering the gigabit era, and 10G PON has a very bright future in optical access networks. It will surely occupy a dominant position in the broadband market in the near future. Many domestic and foreign operators have launched gigabit-to-the-home products to significantly enhance their competitiveness. Broadband access requires the support of PON technology. To achieve the leap from "100 Mbps" to "gigabit", PON technology needs to be upgraded to 10G PON. Therefore, 10G PON is gradually becoming the mainstream technology of PON networks. In the post-pandemic era, major operators have significantly reduced capital expenditures and urgently need a low-cost 10G PON access device.

[0003] Meanwhile, with global warming, extreme high temperatures occur around the world every summer, making the working environment of outdoor base stations extremely harsh. Core optical components overheat and fail, causing frequent communication failures. Utility Model Content
