Introduction and System Overview
Main functions and features
The CommScope C9500 10G OLT is a full-featured optical line terminal for use in today’s demanding Ethernet-
based PON networks. Designed with state-of-the-art PON technology, it supports downstream and upstream 1.25G
optical line service.
C9500 supports various functions above and beyond those found in existing Ethernet switches. The functions
include but are not limited to:
•Quality of Service (QoS) management
•Advanced system management which allows the operator to address system and subscriber issues quickly and
thoroughly
•Security protocols that safeguard system and subscriber information
•Subscriber management to ensure only approved users are able to access the system
Structure and function
The C9500 OLT connects to the Internet core network in the Central Office. It performs IP routing
and Ethernet switching, and provides a passive optical subscriber line.
The C9500 OLT can support an optical line split ratio up to 32:1 without the need for electric
power feed and management.
As a core part of the passive optical network, the C9500 OLT is part of a larger PON ecosystem
that includes:
Remote nodes (RN), typically consisting of an optical distribution network that uses passive
splitters instead of active switches to distribute traffic.
Optical network units (ONUs) that provide an interface between the PON network and its
authorized users and/or terminal devices.

System components
Main function and features
The C9500 delivers 10 gigabits per second (10 Gb/s) of downstream bandwidth and 10 (10 Gb/s)
or 1 gigabits per second (1 Gb/s) of upstream bandwidth over a single fiber.
The C9500 OLT platform consists of five major constituents:
•Switching & Control Unit (SCU)PON Interface Unit (PIM)
•Line Interface Unit (LIM)
•Clock Interface Unit (CIU)
•Platform Chassis
SCU
SCU is a module for packet switching and system management and up to two modules can be
installed in the platform based on active-standby redundant architecture to support fast failover
time(less than 1 second). The selective PON line redundancy is implemented as well.
PIM
PIM is a downlink interface module which supports either eight GEPON (i.e. PIM-8EB card) or
10GEPON (i.e. PIM-8XE card) interface slots. Up to ten PIM modules can be installed per
chassis as UNI (User-to-Network Interface). Two PON ports can be configured as active
standbyredundant combination to increase the availability of service so that C9500 can utilize
‘2:N’ split ratio rather than ‘1:N’ which can enhance the PON line interface availability and
reliability.
LIM
LIM provides service interface to upper layer network equipment that is typically connected to
the Backbone network. The LIM supports either 8-port 1000Base-X (i.e. LIM-8MP card) or 8-
port 10GBase-R (i.e. LIM-8X+ card) per module.Up to two modules can be accommodated in a
C9500 platform as NNI (Network-to-Network Interface).
CIU
CIM is a clock interface module to handle clock information from other clock source to

3
synchronize the time based on IEEE1588 or SyncE. It is an optional module and is not included
in this version of the installation guide. C9500 Installation Guide 13
5. Platform Chassis
Platform Chassis is a set of basic components including system shelf, fan modules and power
supply modules.
A. System Shelf
System Shelf consists of chassis and backplane board and provides slots to hold the above
major constituent modules such as SCU, LIM and PIM. Backplane is designed based on a single
bus architecture.
B. PSU
PSU is the power module for the C9500 and up to two modules can be installed in one platform
chassis. The Power modules ensure continuous operation without suffering system halt in case
of a power module failure.
C. FMU
Platform chassis is equipped with three fan modules (FMUs) to ventilate hot air from inside the
enclosure. Three FMU modules are used in a platform chassis.

Figure 2. Slot Layout
Caution You must install Interface cards in the relevant slots. A LIM card (LIM-
8M or LIM 4X) must install in the #5 or 6 slot and a PIM card (PIM-8G)
must install in the PIM slots.

Note
You can check the position of the PSU cards by the direction. Looking at the
front of the system, The left side of chassis is the left PSU and the right side of
chassis is the right PSU. You can also verify via the CLI (Command Line
Interface).

Fan Ventilation
The C9500 chassis incorporates three fan modules at the top of the chassis which drive the
heated air in the direction of ‘from bottom/front to top/rear’ flow. If air baffle is not applied, then
the air flow would be ‘from bottom to top/rear’. Please see Figures 12 and 13.
For your information, the heat dissipation value (the heat release in Watts per foot of frame
vertical height used) is 90W/ft2/ft.

Caution
The C9500 locates the Fan Module (FMU) on the top of the device.
Cooling is accomplished by making the hot air rise from the bottom
(convection cooling). Thus, if the top and the bottom of the device are
blocked, the internal warm air and the external cold air cannot be
circulated properly and the product could overheat.
Power Supply
C9500 uses a DC power source to supply power to the system. On the front side of the PSU
card there are two GND terminals as shown below.
Caution
Observe precautions for handling electrostatic sensitive devices.
