Description

The Zhone 281X Series FiberJACK® GPON ONTs are optimized for Enterprise and Hospitality deployments requiring secure, zero-footprint wideband access. The FiberJACK wall-plate style ONTs offer full RG functionality in a low-profile package that keeps power and fiber connections safely hidden within the wall, preventing loss of service due to accidental disconnection, tampering or theft. Rental Housing (Apartments, Condos), Hospitality (Hotels, Motels, B&Bs), Campus deployments (Dorm rooms, Assisted-Living Facilities, Barracks) and any other type of temporary housing will benefit from this robust and low maintenance ONT. The Zhone 281X Series FiberJACK GPON ONTs provide customers with one POTS port and two 10/100/1000BaseT LAN ports with PoE capability, allowing for convenient connections to IP phones, switches, and PCs. Configurable per-port PoE limits help direct PoE power where it is needed. Optional RF Video port and/or dual-band WiFi on certain models. Being able to provision the on-board radio for 2.4GHz or 5.0GHz allows the operator to provide full coverage of both frequency bands without needing different ONT models. All Zhone 281X Series FiberJACK GPON ONTs mount in a standard single-gang wallbox and are available in two powering versions: AC models are wired directly to the 120/240 VAC supply while DC models may be powered via a dedicated CAT5 link from the wiring/powering closet. DC models may also be powered over a 2-wire feed from an in-house 48V distribution system that may also provide battery backup. DC/DC conversion in the ONT ensures that the PoE voltages are presented within spec even when longer 2-wire power feed runs incur significant voltage drops.

Hospitality installations will appreciate the guest-friendly LED indicator modes (Day, Night, Off) on the Zhone 281X Series FiberJACK GPON ONTs. Extensive diagnostics in the ONT (run locally on the ONT or remotely from the NOC) reduce service call disruptions. A silent alarm is triggered upon removal of the ONT faceplate. With LLDP-MED support for voice VLAN advertisement and Zhone’s Dynamic VLAN Mapping capability for handling complex sets of packet classification rules, operators can expertly manage traffic on each ONT LAN port to provide optimum customer experiences. The Zhone 281X Series FiberJACK GPON ONTs comply with standard OMCI definitions, and are manageable at remote sites supporting the full range of FCAPS functions including supervision, monitoring and maintenance. Flexible management means the Zhone 281X Series FiberJACK GPON ONTs may be provisioned using the same intuitive Web interface and CLI as the Zhone 2400, 2600, 2800, and 4200 Series ONTs, as well as through GPON-standard OMCI, USP (Unified Service Provisioning), the Zhone Network Management System (ZMS), or using a TR-069 compliant ACS. Software upgrades and configuration backups can be handled automatically by the ZMS using the CPE Manager feature.
