19’’ 1RU 1550nm Laser Transmitter

LT1550 (New Version)

About the Product

The full-spectrum enhanced forward transmitters LT1550 engineered for multi-services operators (MSOs) to increase network capacity to satisfy an ever-growing subscriber demand for bandwidth.

LT1550 operating wavelength conforms to ITU standards and works with PBN’s Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier Module (EDFA). It allows for fullspectrum analog/digital broadcast and narrowcast channels, providing the utmost flexibility for MSOs during the transition to all-digital.

It employs an advanced RF circuit design and a high quality / low-chirp laser. The module offers a superior frequency response, as well as low distortion and noise characteristics. In addition, it has a cutting-edge optoelectronic design for the delivery of high-quality transmissions, in both analog and digital formats, over passive fiber optic networks.

The standard 19” 1RU rack chassis provides simple installation. Integrated WEB server help users finish the operation and maintenance easily and remotely.

  • DOCSIS 3.1 Compatible with operating bandwidth up to 1218 MHz
  • High quality 1550 nm low-chirp analog DFB laser
  • RF amplifier gain blocks with advanced GaAs technology for better performance
  • Conforms to ITU wavelength DWDM standards
  • Frequency response of 45 MHz to 1218 MHz for both broadcast and narrowcast applications
  • Automatic gain control (AGC) for a consistent optical modulation index (OMI)
  • Automatic thermo-cooler control (ATC) for a consistent laser temperature
 
  • Automatic power control (APC) for a consistent optical output power
  • Self-contained 19” sub rack 1 RU with integrated universal mains power supply
  • RF input test points
  • Status LEDs indicate module condition and simplify troubleshooting
  • Ethernet port for SNMP/HTTP network management
  • Remote firmware upgrade and auto upload/download of configuration files through integrated web interface or using PBN’s NMSE
