Description
The Calix E5-FTA is a compact, high-performance Ethernet Service Access Node (ESAN) designed for fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) and Ethernet over copper deployments. Housed in a durable, weather-resistant chassis, it supports outdoor installations in harsh environments without the need for additional enclosures. The unit features eight Gigabit Ethernet ports and two 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplink ports, enabling high-speed data transport and flexible network configurations. It is ideal for service providers looking to extend broadband access with minimal infrastructure investment.
This model supports advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 capabilities, including VLAN tagging, IGMP snooping, QoS, and multicast support, making it suitable for delivering triple-play services. Its passive cooling design reduces power consumption and enhances reliability in remote or space-constrained locations. The E5-FTA includes integrated management via Calix Management System (CMS), allowing for streamlined provisioning and monitoring. When purchasing used, buyers should verify the condition of the SFP ports, power modules, and mounting hardware to ensure complete functionality.
