Huawei GICF Overview
The Huawei GICF is a high-reliability 2-port GE optical uplink board, specifically tailored for seamless integration with Huawei MA5600T series OLTs, including the MA5683T and MA5680T models. As a dedicated uplink expansion solution, this board is delivered without pre-installed optical transceivers and is optimally paired with two GE SFP modules supporting 10km transmission distance, ensuring stable and efficient data uplink for medium-to-large scale optical access networks.
Product Features
- Optical Interfaces: Two Gigabit Ethernet (GE) optical ports, often equipped with SFP modules (e.g., B+/C+ for GPON).
- High-Density Access: Supports high-density P2P optical access.
- Seamless Integration: Designed for easy plug-and-play into Huawei OLTs (MA5600T, MA5680T, MA5683T).
- Network Versatility: Facilitates GPON, 10G GPON, EPON, 10G EPON, and P2P access modes.
- Low Latency: Ensures minimal delay for data transmission.
Jumbo Frame Support: Can handle frames up to 9216 bytes with jumbo frame function enabled.
Application Scenarios
A telecom operator in Western Europe deployed Huawei GICF boards via MF-Telecom to upgrade its FTTx network. Integrating with MA5683T OLTs, the boards enabled 10km optical uplinks for 50,000+ residential users, delivering stable internet/voice/video services. The pluggable SFP design allowed easy distance adjustment (from 10km to 40km) for rural extensions, reducing deployment time by 30% while maintaining 99.99% uptime.
