Table of Contents

The PM7516-R0 is a Symmetric Passive Optical Network (XGSPON) Bridge Optical Network Terminals

(ONT) with one 10G Ethernet port.

The Ethernet port on the Zyxel Device acts as a bridge. You can connect a switch or router to it. In the

example figure below, the service provider (OLT) uses one physical fiber line to provide service for the

Ethernet port on the Zyxel Device. The PM7516-R0's Ethernet port provides a 10G service to the devices

behind a switch or router.

Your Zyxel Device provides Internet access by connecting a fiber optic line provided by the Internet

Service Provider (ISP) to the PON port. It supports OMCI (ONU Management and Control Interface) for

provisioning and management by the ISP's OLT (Optical Line Terminal).

A 10 Gigabit Ethernet port supports speeds of 10 Gbps if the connected device supports 10 Gbps and a

Cat 6a (up to 100 m) or Cat 6 cable (up to 50 m) is used.

Some network devices such as gaming computers, servers, network attached storage (NAS) devices, or

access points may have network cards that are only capable of 2.5 Gbps or 5 Gbps connectivity.

If these devices are connected to a 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps Ethernet port, they can only transmit or receive

at up to 1 Gbps as speeds of 10 Gbps cannot be attained. Moreover, if network devices with 10 Gbps

network cards are connected to a 10 Gbps Ethernet port, you must use Cat 6 or better Ethernet cables

to achieve 10 Gbps speeds.
