Differences between Huawei MA5683T and MA5608T
Comparison Dimension | MA5683T (Medium-capacity) | MA5608T (Mini-type) |
Device Positioning | Medium-capacity aggregation OLT for central offices | Compact Mini-OLT suitable for remote deployment |
Chassis Height | 6U chassis (approx. 263 mm high) | 2U chassis (approx. 88 mm high); more space-efficient |
Service Slot Count | 6 service board slots | 2 service board slots |
System Switching Capacity | 1.5 Tbit/s | 720 Gbit/s |
Main Control Board Switching Capacity | 960 Gbit/s | 512 Gbit/s |
Max. GPON Ports | 96 | 32 |
Power Supply | Supports -48V DC only | Supports DC or AC power supply |
Typical Application Scenarios | Integrated access sites: Core or aggregation offices serving large user bases with diverse services (e.g., simultaneous broadband, voice, and leased line services) | Edge or small-scale access points: Scenarios requiring rapid deployment in locations with limited space and fewer users, such as towns, industrial parks, or individual buildings; can also function as a Mini-DSLAM |
If you need to support thousands of users at a single node, handle complex services, and require high scalability—and if the equipment room provides a standard -48V DC power supply—then the MA5683T is the more suitable workhorse.
If your scenario involves a relatively small number of users (e.g., a few hundred households), limited space in the equipment room, or the absence of a -48V DC power source (requiring direct use of 220V AC power), then the MA5608T’s compact size and support for AC power are significant advantages. It can even be installed in base stations or outdoor cabinets.
