I know that this topic may be discussed several times but I didnt find any solution in existing topics and all of them are old. judging by the subject, You can guess that this topic is about GPON and MikroTik. Currently I have HPSP2120 Huawei SFP module and I wanted to use it with mikrotik in several places instead of Huawei HG8245H Router. I have tried this module with RB953GS (Do I need some other Routerboard?) and it gets recognized but I dont get link up and running… When I plug the optical cable in it I get a checkbox in the SFP page of the interface which says “RX LOSE”. At that moment RX Power is about -20 dBm. Is there something I am missing here? There may be something I don’t understand or something to configure in the module itself but I have no idea how. Please check the attached photo (optic cable was disconnected when the screenshot was captured). Can someone help me a little bit with this?
The HPSP2120 is designed for use with Huawei multi-dwelling switches. This module by itself is useless without Ethernet bridge or GPON logic.
It will not work in 3rd party switches like Mikrotik that do not have circuitry to support “dumb” GPON SFP ONUs.
If you want SFP that works, get a GPON Stick with embedded OS like
MA5671A for Huawei
G-010S-P / G-010S-A for Nokia/Alcatel
or recently popular modules built on Realtek SoC RTL9601C
