Abstract: Some OLT GPON CLASS B+ optical modules provided by SOURCE PHOTONICS may rarely
become faulty after long-term working at high temperature, resulting in unstable transmit optical power,
and ONUs being offline.
Product Line: Access network Product Family: OLT
Product Model: MA5600T, MA5603T, MA5680T, and MA5683T
[Problem Description]
Trigger conditions:
Optical modules have been working at the temperature higher than 60 degrees for a long term.
Optical modules are OLT GPON CLASS B+ optical modules of the SPS4348HHPCDE model provided by
SOURCE PHOTONICS.
When the above conditions are met, 0.143% of the optical modules may have unstable transmit optical
power, resulting in offline ONUs.
Symptoms:
Optical modules have unstable transmit optical power, resulting in offline ONUs.
Identification methods:
Method 1
If the ONU that connects to the PON port on a GPBD board is offline, perform the following steps to
check whether the cause is the involved optical module in the warning.
Check whether the optical module is working at high temperature and belongs to the
SPS4348HHPCDE model.
Run the command to check whether the optical module has been working at high temperature for a
long term.
Temperature(C) 60 —-Enclosure temperature of the involved optical module in the warning
exceeds
60 degrees.
Run the command or query the label on the top side of the optical module to check whether the
optical module is the SPS4348HHPCDE model.
Query using the command
Related optical module information in the query result is as follows:
Vendor PN SPS4348HHPCDE —-involved vendor PN
Vendor name SOURCEPHOTONICS —-involved vendor name
Query the label on the top side of the optical module.
The involved information is in red blocks on the label on the top side of the optical module, as shown
in Figure 1.
Label on the top side of the optical module
Check whether the optical module is the involved optical module in the warning based on the transmit
optical power.
If the transmit optical power not in the range from 1.5 dBm to 5 dBm after multiple queries
(using commands), the optical module is the involved optical module in the warning.
TX power(dBm) -10.61 —-The transmit optical power of the involved optical module
is generally less than
1.5 dBm and a negative number.

Method 2
Use the SMARTKIT inspector to query all optical modules. Manually collect information about
vendor PN, transmit optical power, and enclosure temperature in the query results, as shown in
Figure 2.
Characteristics of the involved optical module: The temperature is higher than 60 degrees, the
transmit optical power is not in the range from 1.5 dBm to 5 dBm, the vendor PN is
SPS4348HHPCDE, and the vendor is SOURCE PHOTONICS.
Information collection in the query results
Select the two check items as shown in the Figure 3.
Inspection template configuration
[Root Cause]
Some optical modules may rarely become faulty after long-term working at high temperature, resulting in unstable
transmit optical power.
[Impact and Risk]
When the problem occurs, corresponding ONUs are offline. According to the vendor, 0.143% of the optical modules
may become faulty at high temperature.
[Measures and Solutions]
Recovery measures:
Perform the following steps to cool the enclosure of the involved optical module.
Tune down the temperature in the equipment room.
If dust on fans or subracks results in weak heat dissipation capacity, urge customers to clear the dust. For details,
customers can refer to corresponding product documentation, such as the MA5600T&MA5603T V800R011C00
Product Documentation 03.
Manually accelerate the rotating speed of fans. (Long-term high-speed rotation shortens the useful life of a fan,
so this solution is just a temporary solution.) Setting examples are as follows:
For V800R005/V800R006/V800R007/V800R008:
MA5600T(config)#interface emu 0
MA5600T(config-if-fan-0)#fan speed mode manual
MA5600T(config-if-fan-0)#fan speed adjust 5
For V800R009/V800R010/V800R011/V800R012:
MA5600T(config)#diagnose
MA5600T(diagnose)%%fan speed mode manual 6
The digit in red in the command indicates the rotating speed level of the fan (the highest levels for V800R008 and
V800R011 are 5and 6 respectively), the higher the digit, the faster the rotating speed. It is recommended to tune up
the rotating speed to the maximum, and then gradually tune it down. Long-term high-speed rotation shortens the
useful life of a fan. Therefore, exercise caution when
adopting this solution.
Preventive measures:
Use the preventive maintenance inspection tool to check the enclosure temperature of optical modules on the live
network. For the site where the enclosure temperature of optical modules is higher than 60 degrees, urge customers
to improve equipment room environment.
The recommended temperature is about 23 (±1) degrees.
Solution:
When the problem occurs, perform the recovery measures to cool involved optical modules, and then perform the
following steps based on actual situations:
If the problem is solved, the optical module can be used but not used at high temperature.
If the problem persists (the hardware of the optical module is faulty), use a spare part to replace it. A small number
of faulty optical modules can be directly sent to Huawei for repair based on the specified procedure. A large number
of faulty optical modules are handled by corresponding regional service contact personnel.

The warning does not take effect when the trigger conditions are not met.
