Description
Product Summary
ZTE C300 is a compact, high-density Optical Line Terminal (OLT) designed for next-generation FTTH and business access networks. Delivering up to 400Gbps backplane capacity, it supports 8 or 16 GPON/XG-PON combo ports, redundant AC/DC power supplies, and hot-swappable fan trays. The C300 meets ITU-T G.984/G.987 standards and enables smooth migration from GPON to XG-PON on the same chassis. Ideal for carriers demanding carrier-grade reliability, low latency, and future-proof 10G PON readiness.
Product Overview
As a mature yet high-performance platform, ZTE C300 serves as the aggregation hub for up to 4,096 ONUs per rack. Its 3U height fits standard ETSI/19-inch racks, while the 400Gbps switch fabric eliminates bottlenecks during peak hours. The system supports Type B/C protection, graceful restart, and non-stop routing. From a procurement perspective, ZTE C300 offers flexible licensing: base software includes L2/L3 VPN, IGMP snooping, and VLAN stacking; advanced features (e.g., MLAG, MPLS-TP) are activated via time-based or perpetual licenses. Global lead time is 10-15 working days for standard configurations, with an extended 2-year hardware warranty and optional 24/7 on-site support via ZTE’s global partner network.
Key Features & Benefits
- High-Density GPON & XG-PON Combo: Supports up to 16 PON ports in a single chassis – mix GPON (2.5G down/1.25G up) and XG-PON (10G down/2.5G up) on the same port.
- 400Gbps Switching Capacity: Non-blocking fabric ensures wire-speed forwarding for 8,000+ concurrent 4K video streams.
- Carrier-Class Reliability: Redundant power modules (1+1), hot-swappable fan trays, and Type B/C protection switching (<50ms).
- Flexible Software Licensing: Perpetual or subscription-based licenses for advanced routing, MPLS-TP, and eMDI video SLA assurance.
- Global Logistics & Support: 10-15 day lead time, 2-year standard warranty, optional 24/7 RMA and on-site technical assistance.

Application Scenarios
The ZTE C300 excels in three primary deployments:
1. Urban FTTH – High-Density MDUs: With 1:128 split ratio per GPON port, it serves 2,048 households per chassis. Combo ports allow gradual 10G upgrade without replacing fibers.
2. Enterprise & Campus LAN: Provides symmetrical 1G/10G leased lines, L2 VPN isolation, and 802.1X authentication for business parks.
3. Backhaul Aggregation for Mobile Fronthaul: When paired with XG-PON optics, the C300 aggregates 4G/5G small-cell traffic with nanosecond-level sync via SyncE/1588v2.
Product Q&A
- Q1: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) and typical lead time for ZTE C300?
- A: MOQ is 1 unit. Standard lead time is 10-15 working days after payment confirmation for the base chassis with 2 PON cards. Bulk orders (≥10 units) can reduce lead time to 7-10 days.
- Q2: Does the ZTE C300 support both GPON and XG-PON on the same PON port?
- A: Yes, using ZTE’s Combo PON cards (model C300-COMBO8). The same OLT port can serve legacy GPON ONUs and next-gen XG-PON ONUs simultaneously via different wavelengths (1490nm/1577nm).
- Q3: What is the software licensing model? Are there recurring fees?
- A: Base L2/L3 switching and GPON management are perpetual, no fee. Advanced features (MPLS-TP, eMDI, MLAG) require separate perpetual or 1/3/5-year subscription licenses. All licenses are node-locked to the chassis serial number.
- Q4: How is after-sales support handled for international buyers?
- A: We provide global 24/7 ticketing support via ZTE’s partner portal. Hardware RMA is processed within 5 business days from regional hubs (USA, Netherlands, Singapore). On-site service is available as an add-on contract.
- Q5: Does the C300 support redundancy with another unit for hitless failover?
- A: Yes, two C300 chassis can form a Type C protection group. The backup OLT automatically assumes control with <50ms switchover time, preserving all active PPPoE/IPoE sessions.
