RF/CATV Wideband Receiver
The RFV-300RT/RCV is a high quality, cost effective CATV Return Path Receiver which utilizes a new low noise, impedance matched, high efficiency 1310/1550 nm broadband photodiode and advanced RF amplification circuitry to facilitate carriage of critical downstream video, data, telephony and Internet traffic in an HFC broadband environment. The unit is ideally suited for direct fiber reception of CATV RF signals in FTTC, FTTH, MDU, industrial, corporate, government, educational or other I-Net applications where a high performance, compact, stand alone downstream receiver is required.
System Design
The RFV-300RT/RCV is a rugged, self-contained device with external RF and optical connections and test points and internal 90-40 VAC power supply. The field-configurable SC-APC (or optional FC-APC) optical input connector can be mounted on the front-panel or rear-panel of the unit. The unit is forced air cooled via an external high-MTBF fan, which is designed to be field-replaceable without interrupting operation.
The unit features a unique provision which allows the the RFV-300RT/RCV to perform as a stand alone downstream receiver or as a rack mount return receiver with the addition of the Model# RFLL-RMKIT (optional). Up to (3) RFOR-300’s can be mounted in a 1RU (1.75”) 19” EIA space with each kit.
