Fiber installation with SPF Module


I’ve been Odido customer for more than 3 years, my fiber connection is via Huwawei media converter. It’s been a while I’m thinking to switch to https://eu.store.ui.com/eu/en/products/uxg-fiber to upgrade my old ubiquity gear.

Anyone tried to install Fiber with SFP module directly to a router? 

At the moment, all I did was to set vlan-300 on my WAN, but I’m not sure if my own SFP and direct fiber would work.

Could someone please help?

Hallo ​@aliba-2 

That is possible. Do you have a XGSPON ONT?

Than you'll need this Zaram SFP for example. The moderators here can register the SFP for you.

Thank you so much. Do you know how I can check what kind of ONT I have?

Left is XGSPON and right is GPON.

Wow, thank you so much again. I think I’ve got the GPON based on the photos.

@aliba-2 

I see you are using the wrong connector for the ONT. It needs to be green instead of blue.

You may face problems with your connection.

Doesn’t that depend on the type of Huawei model it is? There are Huawei ONT models where the connection is blue. It should become more evident if you look at the color of the connection on the Huawei itself (green of blue).

@aliba-2 Anyway… you should be aware of the different color of connectors. For your Unify you should get the correct one on both sides (for the Unify side and for the side in the FTU, Fiber Termination Unit).

I didn’t do the installation for the Huawei. If you think this is a wrong installation, should I contact Odido support?

I just did check the color of the connector and it’s green on the Huawei side, I’ll check if I left fibers somewhere, maybe I can swap them myself.

No, first check the color of the connection on the Huawei itself (where the connector is inserted). Is it blue or green?

Yikes. Yes. That might be a problem.

Either way… if connecting your Unify you also need to recheck what kind of cable you need there.

I still don’t have the Unifi thingie yet. I was planning to do it later to simplify the network with less network equipment. 
 

  • I need to connect support because of wrong installation, I don’t have any fibers, If I’m not mistaken the technician took everything except Router stuff.
  • It’s like this since 4 years ago with Blue fiber on Green connector on Huawei.
  • Do you also know for GPON what kind of SFP+ module I should get?

@aliba-2 

On the Huawei side it needs to be a SC/APC (green connector). A moderator here can help you with this.

I found this SFP:

Wow thanks.Also this SFP requires registration later if I’m not mistaken. 

Regarding a moderator can help, whom I can connect? or do i need to make a new post on different section?

Great thanks to ​@Waqqas and ​@rvk01 for all your great help.

I just attach this photo here for further help from the moderator regrading the wrong installation by technician.
