Huawei PRTE Overview
The Huawei PRTE (H801PRTE) is a critical Connect Power Board for Huawei's MA5600/MA5800 OLTs, designed for reliable -48V DC power input, featuring built-in filtering, current limiting, under-voltage detection, and fault reporting, ensuring stable power distribution for telecom networks with features like alarm indicators for seamless operation and management.
Product Features
- Power Input: Accepts a single -48V DC power feed, crucial for telecom equipment.
- Power Protection: Includes filtering and current-limiting for the input, plus detection for under-voltage, power presence, and general faults.
- Alarm & Status: Features an ALARM indicator and combines protection alarms with the board's online status for comprehensive monitoring.
- High Efficiency: Provides efficient power distribution for critical infrastructure like OLTs (Optical Line Terminals).
- Redundancy: Often used in pairs within OLT chassis (like MA5680T/MA5683T) to provide dual power protection and fault tolerance.
- Integration: Seamlessly integrates with Huawei's telecom solutions, supporting robust network operations.
Application Scenarios
Large-Scale Campus IP Monitoring for Middle Eastern Operators
A telecom operator in the Middle East provided IP monitoring solutions for a 500-acre university campus, requiring 300 IP cameras (outdoor/indoor) and 50 wireless APs. It deployed Huawei MA5683T OLTs with PRTE boards: each OLT was configured with 12 PRTE boards (288 ports total) to connect cameras and APs. The PRTE’s 30W PoE+ ports directly powered the devices (no separate power cabinets), and 1000M adaptive speed ensured smooth transmission of 4K surveillance footage. Its -40°C~+65°C design adapted to the region’s high-temperature outdoor environment (summer up to 45°C), and surge protection prevented damage from sandstorms. Remote O&M allowed real-time monitoring of port power and camera connectivity, reducing maintenance costs by 35% and achieving 99.99% monitoring service availability.
