The invention discloses a
wavelength division
multiplexing passive optical network optical line terminal having a shared protection function. The outside of the optical line terminal is provided with two ports, namely a primary port and a
backup port; the inside of the optical line terminal comprises a primary optical
transceiver module, a
backup optical
transceiver module and a control module as well as a 2*2
optical path switching module for
optical path selection and switching; wherein the control module is connected to the primary optical
transceiver module and the
backup optical transceiver module, the number of the optical transceiver units of the backup optical transceiver module is not more than that of the optical transceiver unit needed to be protected by the primary optical transceiver module, at least light sources of part of optical transceiver units are
wavelength-adjustable light sources; the primary optical transceiver module and the backup optical transceiver module are respectively connected with the primary port and the backup port through the 2*2
optical path, and the control module is also connected to a control end of the 2*2 optical path connected with the backup port; the control module is connected with the primary optical transceiver module and the backup optical transceiver module; and a
light source of at least part of optical transceiver units of the backup optical transceiver module adopts a
wavelength dimmablelight source. The optical line terminal provided by the invention can realize the protection to all wavelength optical transceivers in the
wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network optical line terminal at the low cost of a redundant device, can realize the fault protection switching to a
feeder line fiber and the local
recovery to local faults of a distribution
fiber, and even canrealize the
recovery of a plurality of concurrent faults in a network when used in the network having double-
fiber backups.
