Nokia 7368 ISAM ONT – Official Technical Overview & Hardware Datasheet

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Nokia 7368 Intelligent Services Access Manager (ISAM) Optical Network Terminal (ONT) portfolio represents the pinnacle of fiber access technology, engineered to deliver superior triple-play services with unprecedented bandwidth capacity to residential and business subscribers. As a cornerstone of the Nokia ISAM product family, the 7368 series demonstrates an unwavering commitment to carrier-grade performance, seamless interoperability with existing 7360 ISAM Optical Line Terminals (OLTs), and a forward-looking architecture that supports both GPON and XGS-PON technologies . This datasheet provides a comprehensive technical overview and hardware specification for the flagship models within the 7368 ISAM ONT collection, detailing their robust design, advanced features, and industry-leading compliance standards.

ARCHITECTURE & CHASSIS DESIGN

The Nokia 7368 ISAM ONT series is architected around a modular and scalable design philosophy, accommodating a wide range of deployment scenarios from dense urban high-rises to distributed campus environments . The portfolio is differentiated into two primary architectural classes: high-density enterprise models, such as the U-00160CP-P, and compact residential gateways, such as the XS-250WX-A and G-240G-C. Enterprise-grade units feature a 1RU rack-mountable chassis with a 16-port base configuration, expandable to 24 ports via pluggable interface modules, providing a non-blocking Layer 2 switching fabric . The chassis is engineered for passive cooling with smart fans that activate only under thermal load, ensuring silent operation and high reliability .

In contrast, residential models prioritize spatial efficiency and aesthetic integration, utilizing compact, fanless desktop or wall-mountable enclosures . The XS-250WX-A, for instance, integrates a complete residential gateway within a form factor measuring just 290.3mm x 190.3mm x 76.6mm, embedding advanced dual-band Wi-Fi and voice functions into a single, cohesive unit . All chassis variants are constructed with high-grade materials to meet IP30 protection ratings for indoor deployments, with temperature-hardened options (e.g., G-241G-A) available for extended environmental tolerances when housed in outdoor enclosures .

HARDWARE FEATURES

The 7368 ISAM ONT series integrates a rich set of hardware features designed to future-proof the access network. Key features include:

– **High-Density Port Configurations**: The U-00160CP-P offers sixteen 10/100/1000M Base-T Ethernet interfaces with IEEE 802.3af/at Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+), delivering up to 30W per port and a total budget of 370W . Expandable slots allow for an additional eight 1G/2.5G Ethernet interfaces .
– **Converged Connectivity**: Residential gateways like the XS-250WX-A combine four GigE ports, one 1/10 GigE port, and two POTS ports with integrated Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA) and 4×4 802.11ac Wi-Fi .
– **Advanced Optical Interfaces**: The ONTs feature pluggable SFP/SFP+ PON modules supporting both GPON and XGS-PON on a single device, facilitating a seamless upgrade path to 10G symmetrical services .
– **Comprehensive Management**: Full support for remote management via OMCI (ITU-T G.988) and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), ensuring FCAPS functionality .
– **Enhanced Security**: Physical tamper-resistance features, AES-128 encryption for downstream traffic, and advanced firewall capabilities for routed modes, ensuring network integrity .

COMPLIANCE & STANDARDS

The 7368 ISAM ONT portfolio complies with a comprehensive suite of international and industry-specific standards, underscoring Nokia’s commitment to global interoperability and regulatory adherence:

– **ITU-T Standards**: Full compliance with G.984.x (GPON), G.987.x (XGPON1), G.9807.1 (XGS-PON), G.988 (OMCI), and G.984.3 (TC layer) .
– **IEEE Standards**: Compliance with 802.3ah (Ethernet OAM), 802.1Q (VLAN), and 802.1p (CoS) .
– **Safety & EMI**: CE Mark, UL 60950-1, FCC Part 15 (Class A/B), VCCI, RCM, and CB Scheme certifications .
– **Environmental**: RoHS compliant, with operational temperature ranges from -5°C to 45°C for standard indoor units and extended ranges for outdoor enclosures .
