Huawei MA5800-X2 is an OLT (Optical Line Terminal) designed for use in various types of PON networks. It is the successor to the previously popular MA56XX series, offering compatibility with newer standards and support for a wider range of line and control boards. The main application of this product is the deployment of large passive optical networks such as FTTH, FTTD, FTTB, or FTTC using GPON, XG-PON, or XGS-PON technologies. It is suitable for delivering residential services, connecting businesses, creating wireless network backhaul links, or building extensive Wi-Fi systems. The MA5800 enables you to consolidate multiple types of services into a single advanced device. The MA5800-X2 features a chassis designed for installation in a standard 19" rack, occupying 2U of height and providing space for 2 line boards. It is ideal for smaller locations where a large number of ports is not required. At the same time, it consumes significantly less power compared to larger terminals in the MA5800 series.

The set includes 2 MPSD-G control boards and a PISB power board. The MPSD-G board functions as both a control and uplink module, featuring 4 SFP+ slots with 1/10 Gbps throughput. It provides all essential functionalities and can support up to 4096 multicast users or ONTs. The PISB power board is equipped with a standard computer-type connector and supports 220 V or 110 V AC input. Additionally, it allows connection to an external battery via a 3V3 DC connector, with a supported battery voltage of 48 V DC. This enables you to provide backup power to the OLT—if the main power source fails, the device will automatically switch to battery power.

OLT terminal

The offered product is a transmitting OLT terminal that can operate in passive optical networks (PON) or point-to-point (P2P) networks. In the first case, depending on the installed line boards, it supports GPON, XG-PON, or XGS-PON networks; in the second case, it offers GE / 10GE connections. It is ideal for FTTH, FTTD, FTTB, or FTTC solutions. The primary applications, in combination with a suitable PON line board, are FTTH or FTTB networks, where services are delivered directly to an apartment or to a building (and then distributed to individual units).

Advanced Features

In addition to functioning as a transmitting terminal, the device also supports numerous Layer 2 and Layer 3 features. It includes support for OSPF and BGP, as well as advanced QoS functionality. The device is fully optimized for IPTV transmission and supports multicast, including IGMP and MLD Snooping, as well as IPv4 PIM / PIM-SSM. Newer software versions also support VXLAN and SRv6. A full list of supported features can be found in the specification section below the description.

19" Rack 2U Chassis, 2 Line Board Slots

The MA5800-X2 chassis is designed for installation in a 19" rack and has a height of 2U. It supports the installation of up to 2 PON or P2P line boards, depending on the needs of a given location. In a full configuration, the OLT can provide up to 32 PON ports (GPON / XG-PON / XGS-PON), 96 GE ports, or 16 10GE ports.

2 MPSD-G Control Boards

The set includes 2 MPSD-G control boards, which also serve as uplink (upstream) boards. Each board features 4 SFP+ slots that can function as uplink or cascade ports. These ports support transmission speeds of 1 or 10 Gbps. Additionally, the board is equipped with an RJ45 console port, a BITS/TOD port, two RJ45 alarm ports, and an extra Ethernet port for communication.

PISB Power Board (AC)

When purchasing the product, you receive a PISB power board equipped with a standard computer-type power connector and a 3V3 DC port. The board supports standard 220 / 110 V AC input, while the second connector allows for the connection of an external battery. This enables you to provide backup power to the entire system—in the event of a power outage, the OLT will automatically switch to battery operation. The 3V3 DC input supports a voltage of 48 V DC.
