Product Summary
The ZTE F660 is a high-performance GPON Optical Network Terminal (ONT) engineered for carrier-grade fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and small office deployments. Delivering up to 2.488 Gbps downstream and 1.244 Gbps upstream, this unit integrates a 4-port Gigabit Ethernet switch, 2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, VoIP (FXS), and an optional CATV RF port. With an industry-leading MTBF of over 100,000 hours, the ZTE F660 ensures last-mile reliability for triple-play services (data, voice, video).

- Legacy & Future-Proofing: Simultaneous support for POTS (VoIP), 10/100/1000Base-T, and USB 2.0 for storage or LTE dongle failover.
- Seamless Interoperability: Fully OMCI-compliant with major OLT brands (ZTE, Huawei, Nokia, FiberHome).
- Lifetime Technical Support: Dedicated account manager + 24/7 NOC-level assistance. Firmware customization available for regional ISPs.
Product Overview & Capabilities
The ZTE F660 is built around a robust GPON Media Access Controller (MAC) bridge with hardware-based QoS. Its passive cooling architecture and broad operating temperature range (-5°C to 45°C) allow deployment in uncontrolled environments like MDUs or street cabinets. The device supports full L2 bridging and L3 routing modes, including VLAN tagging/transparent transmission, IGMP snooping for IPTV, and 802.1p QoS prioritization. The integrated 2x2 MIMO antenna array delivers up to 300 Mbps Wi-Fi coverage, reducing external CPE needs. For triple-play integrity, the POTS port guarantees T.38 fax support and G.711/G.729 codecs, while the optional RF overlay provides analog CATV bypass with

Application Scenarios
FTTx / Enterprise Core
In a high-density apartment building (MDU), the ZTE F660 acts as the customer premises endpoint. It connects to a 1:64 splitter from a centralized OLT (e.g., ZTE C300). Four GE ports serve IPTV set-top boxes, VoIP gateways, and guest Wi-Fi networks simultaneously. The USB port enables local SMB backup or 4G failover, ensuring zero downtime for SOHO finance transactions. For rural FTTH, its extended optical budget (Class B+) allows termination up to 20 km from the central office with a 28 dB link loss budget.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the typical lead time for bulk orders (500+ units) of ZTE F660?
- For quantities of 500-2000 units, we maintain regional warehouse stock in Rotterdam and Los Angeles, enabling 2-3 day delivery within EU/NA. For 5000+ units, lead time is 15-20 working days ex-works Shenzhen. Air freight expediting is available. Please request a quote for your exact volume to see current stock levels.
- Is the ZTE F660 compatible with non-ZTE OLTs (like Huawei or Nokia)?
- Yes. The ZTE F660 is fully OMCI-compliant and has been tested successfully with Huawei MA5600T, Nokia 7360 ISAM, and Calix E7-2. Custom OMCI MIB files can be provided upon request to ensure provisioning auto-detection. We recommend a small batch interoperability test before final deployment.
- What is the warranty and RMA process for international buyers?
- The ZTE F660 carries a standard 24-month manufacturer warranty from the date of shipment. Our advanced replacement RMA program ships a replacement unit within 48 hours of remote fault diagnosis (validated by our NOC team). No restocking fees for DOA units reported within 14 days of delivery.
- Does this model support the CATV overlay independently without using an Ethernet port?
- Yes. The ZTE F660 includes a dedicated RF coaxial connector that directly outputs analog CATV (47-862 MHz) from the incoming GPON signal. This bypasses the data path entirely, providing a pure RF signal with +2 dBmV output level. Note: This requires the P5C hardware variant and specific optical splitter configuration. Verify with your sales rep at order placement.
- What is the maximum concurrent PPPoE session and NAT throughput?
- In routed mode, the ZTE F660 supports up to 200 concurrent PPPoE sessions with hardware NAT acceleration yielding 940 Mbps upstream/downstream (tested with 1518-byte packets). With 64-byte packets, throughput sustains at 350 Mbps. This makes it suitable for small business environments with up to 50 active users.
