Features

The PAS7401 is PMC-Sierra's second generation GPON ONT System-on- Chip (SOC), dedicated for use in a GPON (ITU-T G.984) network. The PAS7401 is an optimized device for building a high-performance, extremely low-power and low-cost GPON ONT in Single Family Unit (SFU), Multiple Dwelling Unit (MDU), or similar configurations. The PAS7401 integrates the GPON SERDES, MAC and packet-processing functions, together with an integrated ARM9 controller and a dual Gigabit Ethernet user interface.

The PAS7401 is based on PMC-Sierra's field-proven GigaPASS networking architecture, which provides market-leading throughput and quality of service (QoS). The PAS7401 provides simultaneous and sustained 2 Gbit/s downstream and 1.244 Gbit/s upstream throughput at all packet sizes. The GigaPASS networking engine provides TR-101 based networking features, compliant with FSAN CTS specifications, including 802.1p/q bridging, packet classification, filtering and queuing, traffic shaping and policing.

PRODUCT BENEFITS

  • Full ITU-T G.984 GPON ONT functionality with integrated CPU and a comprehensive software package
  • GigaPASS Wire-speed performance - Simultaneous 2 Gbit/s downstream and 1.244 Gbit/s upstream sustained throughput at any packet size.
  • Advanced classification engine - supports classification, mapping and filtering according to L2/L3/L4 fields, double-tagged VLANs, MLD and IGMP multicast.
  • Advanced QoS features - flexible queuing features enable queuing per user/service with WFQ/SP scheduling, shaping, and policing per queue
  • Power down modes - supports SuperSave power down mode, which enables up to 95% ONT power reduction during power outages and standby periods
  • High Integration and RBOM optimization
  • Interoperability - PAS7401 uses PMC field-proven GPON protocol stack and is guaranteed to provide the highest level of interoperability
  • Low Power - Typical 1 W at 1 Gbit/s throughput
