TN12FIU overview
TN12FIU fiber interface unit applied to OptiX OSN 8800.
The OptiX OSN 8800 Intelligent Optical Transport Platform (OptiX OSN 8800 for short) is a new generation of intelligent MS-OTN product. The OptiX OSN 8800 can interconnect with any product from the OptiX OSN product series, such as the OptiX OSN 1800, to form an end-to-end OTN network. The OptiX OSN 8800 T32/T16 supports unified switching and control based on ODUk, VC, and packets, achieving unified switching and transmission for multiple services on a single multi-service optical transport network (MS-OTN). The OptiX OSN 6800 Intelligent Optical Transport Platform (OptiX OSN 6800 for short) is referred to as Huawei next generation intelligent optical transport platform. The OptiX OSN 6800 is for area backbones, local networks, metropolitan convergence layers and metropolitan core layers. It may also work with other WDM, SDH/SONET equipment to offer a complete Metro WDM solution.

This is a great breakdown of how multi-gigabit PoE switches are reshaping network infrastructure. The combination of high-speed data and power delivery over a single cable really solves some of the biggest pain points in modern enterprise setups, especially with the growing adoption of Wi-Fi 6/7 and IoT devices.
At AeroMesh Systems, we’ve seen firsthand how integrating multi-gigabit PoE switching with advanced mesh networking can dramatically improve performance across distributed environments. The flexibility and scalability these switches offer make them a smart investment for organizations that need to balance cost, efficiency, and future growth.
It’s clear that as networks continue to evolve, solutions like these will be key to maintaining both speed and reliability without overhauling entire infrastructures.
