HALNy HLX-SFPX XGS-PON 10G SFP+ Transceiver SC/APC

The HALNy HLX-SFPX is an XGS-PON Optical Network Terminal (ONU) integrated into an SFP+ module form factor, purpose-built for 10G FTTH and FTTx deployments. Rather than relying on a traditional external ONT appliance, the HLX-SFPX plugs directly into any SFP+ port on a compatible router, switch, or security gateway, collapsing fiber demarcation and host equipment into a single slot. Operating on XGS-PON Class N2, it delivers up to 9.953 Gbps symmetrical throughput and complies with ITU-T G.9807.1 and G.988 standards. Advanced Layer 2 capabilities including VLAN translation, QoS, and IGMP snooping, combined with AES encryption and Forward Error Correction, make the HLX-SFPX a disciplined choice for residential broadband operators, enterprise fiber access, ISPs, and multi-dwelling network environments where space, power efficiency, and operational simplicity are priorities.

Key features & benefits

• XGS-PON ONU in SFP+ Form Factor — Full Optical Network Terminal functionality is integrated directly into a standard SFP+ module, eliminating the need for a separate external ONT device and reducing both equipment footprint and power draw.
• Symmetrical 9.953 Gbps Throughput — Delivers up to 9.953 Gbps on both downstream and upstream paths over an XGS-PON Class N2 WAN connection, supporting the full bandwidth envelope of modern 10G FTTH service tiers.
• ITU-T G.9807.1 and G.988 Compliance — Adherence to these ITU-T standards ensures interoperability with standards-based OLT infrastructure and simplifies OMCI-based provisioning and remote management across multi-vendor networks.
• SC/APC WAN Fiber Interface — The XGS-PON WAN port uses an SC/APC connector with a receive sensitivity of -27 dBm, a receive overload of -8 dBm, and a transmit power range of +4 to +9 dBm, aligning with Class N2 optical link budgets.
• Flexible LAN Speed Support — The SFP+ LAN interface auto-negotiates at 10G, 2.5G, or 1G, providing compatibility with a wide range of host devices without requiring dedicated 10G-only switching infrastructure.
• Advanced Layer 2 Networking Features — Built-in support for VLAN translation, QoS prioritization, and IGMP snooping enables service differentiation and multicast management directly within the module, reducing reliance on upstream configuration.
• AES Encryption and Forward Error Correction — AES encryption protects subscriber traffic on the PON segment, while Forward Error Correction maintains link integrity and reduces retransmission overhead at the physical layer.
• OMCI Provisioning and Remote Management — Support for OMCI (ONU Management and Control Interface) allows service providers to provision and manage the HLX-SFPX remotely through standard OLT management platforms, streamlining large-scale deployments.
• 1 GB Onboard Flash Memory — Integrated 1 GB flash provides ample storage for firmware, configuration, and feature updates throughout the product lifecycle without hardware replacement.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range — Available in a standard module rated 0°C to 70°C or an I-Temp variant rated -40°C to +85°C, covering both climate-controlled indoor deployments and demanding outdoor or industrial enclosures.
