What is the OLT?
An optical line termination (OLT), also called an optical line terminal, is a device which serves as the service provider endpoint of a passive optical network (From Wikipedia).
This image tells you where the OLT is in an EPON.
In short, OLT is like a commander, commanding each ONU soldier, to provide a low-cost and high-speed communication service, to connect life more closely on the planet, and technology to change life.

| Maximum Input Current | 60A | 60A | 40A | DC power supply: 20A AC power supply: 8A |
| Power Supply Modes | DC power support (dual for backup) | DC power support (dual for backup) | DC power support (dual for backup) | DC power support (dual for backup) AC power supply + battery for backup |
| Working Voltage Range | -38.4V to -72V DC | -38.4V to -72V DC | -38.4V to -72V DC | DC power supply: -38.4V to -72V AC power supply: 100V to 240V |
| Rated voltage | -48V/-60V | -48V/-60V | -48V/-60V | DC power supply: -48V/-60V AC power supply: 110V/220V |
| Ambient Temperature | -40°C to 65°C*. The EA5800 can start up at temperatures as low as -25°C. Note: The 65°C temperature refers to the highest temperature measured at the air intake vent of service subrack. | |||
| Ambient Humidity | 5% RH to 95% RH | |||
| Atmospheric Pressure | 70 kPa to 106 kPa | 70 kPa to 106 kPa | 70 kPa to 106 kPa | 70 kPa to 106 kPa |
| Altitude | 4,000m. The air density varies with altitude and will affect the heat dissipation of a device. Therefore, the working environment temperature of the EA5800 varies with altitude. | |||
