For SFP+

A: SFP+ is a compact, hot-pluggable transceiver designed for telecommunications and data communications. It supports high-speed data rates of up to 10Gbps.  

ViewQwest provide the Huawei OptiXstar S800E – S800EXGS01, a miniature Optical Network Unit (ONU). This unit can be inserted into the SFP+ port of routers or network devices to enable 10-Gigabit-capable Symmetric Passive Optical Network (XGS-PON) access, suitable for high-definition video transmission or high-performance networking applications. 

A: Yes, SFP+ transceivers can connect directly to a fibre point (such as NLT Optical Termination Point) using the appropriate fibre optic cables. 

A: Typically, if you’re connecting SFP+ directly to a fiber point, you do not need a modem. The SFP+ transceiver itself acts as the interface for data transmission. 

A: While SFP+ is more commonly used in enterprise settings, it can be used in high-performance home networking setups, especially if your equipment supports it and you have a suitable fiber connection. 

A: Check the specifications of your switches, routers, or network interface cards (NICs) to confirm they have SFP+ ports. Look for labels or documentation that indicate SFP+ compatibility. 

A: The Huawei OptiXstar S800E is compatible with many routers and network devices that support GPON or XGSPON technology. However, it’s essential to verify compatibility with your specific equipment.  

A: The devices offered by ViewQwest that support the Huawei OptiXstar S800E include the Ubiquiti Dream Machine SE and the ASUS RT-AX89X. 

A: For Home Broadband with SFP+ bundle, we provide free delivery and the necessary cables. Customers will need to perform a self-installation of the device to connect to the NLT fiber point.
