AIMA-FT5S

About the Product

The 1550 nm Forward Transmitter Module - Standard series (FT5S) is designed to plug into PBN's latest generation Advanced Intelligent Multi-services Access platform - the AIMA3000.

PBN’s AIMA3000 FT5S is available in single, dual laser configurations. It features advanced forward transmitters engineered for multi-service operators (MSOs) to increase network capacity to satisfy anever-growing subscriber demand for more bandwidth. The module’s operating wavelength conforms to ITU’s standards and works with PBN’s Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier Module (EDFA). It allows for full-spectrum broadcast and narrowcast channels, providing the utmost flexibility for MSOs during the transition to all digital.

The FT5S series employs an advanced RF circuit design and laser with high-quality and low-chirp characteristics. The module offers a consistent optical modulation index (OMI) and ensures high-index optical power output. In addition, it is a cutting-edge optoelectronic design for the delivery of high-quality transmissions, in both analog and digital formats over passive fiber optical networks.

All FT5S models can also be conveniently monitored and controlled through a computer connected to one of the Ethernet ports via the ASMM module. All module settings are retained in non-volatile memory to ensure trouble-free operation. Bulk updating, automatic uploading and downloading of configuration files can be done when using PBN's NMSE web-based management system.
