An OLT Console Cable is a
specialized cable used to establish a direct communication
link between a computer (or terminal device) and an Optical Line Terminal (OLT) for configuration,
monitoring, and troubleshooting purposes.
This type of cable is commonly used by network administrators and technicians in telecommunications
environments, particularly in Passive Optical
Network (PON) setups such as GPON (Gigabit-capable Passive Optical
Network) or EPON (Ethernet Passive Optical Network).
