  Fx-DS26XL  
 

Application

  • Electrical to optical conversion of multi-channel CATV signals like AM-VSB, FM and QAM signals
  • Electrical to optical conversion of SAT-IF video signals by separate input
  • Downstream transmission in HFC and RF Overlay networks with excellent performance
  • Externally modulated 1550 nm DFB laser transmitter
  • Enables the usage of optical amplifiers (EDFAs) as boosters or repeaters in order to realize large scale HFC networks

Features

  • 2 optical outputs with > 10 dBm optical output power each
  • Low noise, narrow linewidth CW DFB laser with DWDM wavelength according to ITU grid
    and adjustable wavelength
  • Bandwidth of 47…870 MHz for CATV and 950…2605 MHz for SAT-IF input
  • Separate RF input for SAT-IF signals
  • Automatic load control (ALC) for CATV signal input, separate ALC for SAT-IF signal input
  • Adjustable RF slope
  • Front panel CATV- and separate SAT-IF test point
  • Dual, hot-pluggable power supply modules for 100...240 VAC and ±48 VDC
  • Web and SNMP Interface (a-version)
  • LC display and LED status indication
  • General purpose I/O interface for remote functions
  • Very thin, only 1 U design for mounting into 19”, ETSI or JIS racks
