HSGQ/ ODI SFP GPON STICK

[kuduku]

For the uninitiated if one intents to use this which is recommended option to try this one
Saw mini PCs being used with this stick and Broadcom BCM57810S also being recommended as the NIC card
So what does one require ?
& Whats recommended hardware to get ?

How much is current Rx?

Right now -23

Broadcom BCM57810S

This sfp nic support 2.5G.

 

[guest_999]

Right now -23

Didn't someone mention earlier that Rx till -26 is optimum & someone else mentioned getting 400mbps at -30dBm?

Check ont spec.

 

[guest_999]

Check ont spec.

You mean manufacturer ont/ony model specs but that only mention the lowest signal limit in dbm beyond which connection is considered as "unstable" (for some huawei model I saw -27dBm)?

-27 is last ... check starting dbm ....

 

[rockyo27]

Right now -23

That seems fine

 

[SayantanGR]

That seems fine

lol

lol

-23dbm is more than fine. Local fiber operators typically target -25dbm (which is a lower power level compared to -23) and I get 900d/800u+ mbps in BLR with that.

Which budget card supports 1Gbps? Broadcom BCM57810S is too expensive.

I have a Connectx-3 and it works

This is more expensive than Broadcom BCM57810S. I should have clarified, I have a 200Mbps connection so which card supports that.

 

[Pauljacob750]

Hmm can you describe the setup you plan to use the ONU in?

 

[transform878]

Wdym? I am planning to get an optiplex and install opnsense with this pcie card connected to Airtel.

 

[Pauljacob750]

A SFP fiber converter like this: https://amzn.in/d/3qnwIXb should be cheaper than a NIC. You can then connect it to the PC.

I already have something like this tplink xz000 g3 v1 but im thinking of upgrading my setup due to some reasons

 

[DigitalDude]

will this work for hathway fiber? (I mean a combo like this SFP + Mikrotik Hex S (or better) + a good wifi router). I want to just switch off the wifi router alone at times without switching off wired network and be able to upgrade it if needed.

will going with a pfsense/opensense/openwrt setup with SFP be too costly? (instead of Mokrotik Hex S)
