Leading Huawei networking products distributor-huanetwork.com Huawei HG8245 Two Version GE FE

1. Huawei HG8245 Two Version: GE / FE
The EchoLife HG8245, an optical network terminal (ONT), is a high-end home gateway in
Huawei FTTH solution. By using the GPON technology, ultra-broadband access is
provided for home and SOHO users. The HG8245 features high-performance forwarding
capabilities to ensure excellent experience with VoIP, Internet and HD video services.
Therefore, the HG8245 provides a perfect terminal solution and future-oriented service
supporting capabilities for FTTH deployment.
The two version of Huawei HG8245: 2POTS+4GE+USB+WiFi and
2POTS+4FE+USB+WiFi.
The difference between the two version:
1 GE: Gigabit Ethernet port, with the optical fiberport and electrical port.
FE: fast Ethernet port.
The GE is faster than the FE during transmission, of course the GE is more expensive
than FE. The supplier huanetwork.com wholesale Huawei EchoLife GPON terminal
HG8245, original new Huawei HG8245 at competitive price, USD 85. We will sale the FE
HG8245 follow-up,the product number is the same.
2 The difference between the GPON port:
The blue port is SC/PC port, the green port is SC/APC.
PC: physical contact, a typical hand polished connector will measure at –30dB.
SPC: super Physical Contact, industry standard is a minimum of –40dB for SPC back
reflection measurement.
If even less back reflection is required, an APC, or Angled Physical Contact polish, might
be necessary. An APC connector has an 8º angle cut into the ferrule. These connectors
are identifiable by their green color. An APC polished connector has an Industry Standard
Minimum f –60dB ORL measurement. APC fiber ends have low back reflection even
when disconnected.
But the difference between the GPON port would not affect to use.
And if you want to buy the patch cord, the supplier huanetwork.com can also offer.

2. Plug-and-play (PnP): Internet, IPTV and VoIP services can be deployed by one click on
the NMS and on-site configuration is not required.
Remote diagnosis: Remote fault locating is implemented by the loop-line test of POTS
ports, call emulation and PPPoE dialup emulation initiated by the NMS.
Link monitoring: E2E link detection is achieved using 802.1ag Ethernet OAM.
High speed forwarding: GE line rate forwarding in the bridging scenario and 900 Mbit/s
forwarding in the NAT scenario.
Green energy-saving: 25% power consumption is saved with highly integrated system
on chipset (SOC) solution, in which, a single chip integrates with PON, voice, gateway
and LSW modules.
