RF/CATV Wideband Transmitter
The RFV-870/XMT is a high quality, full featured, cost effective CATV transmitter designed around the latest optical component technology to reliably deliver a full slate of multiplexed video, high speed data and telephony services in an HFC broadband environment.
A comprehensive lineup of DFB laser offerings provides superior performance over a wide range of optical budgets to 21-25dB, allowing unrepeated spans of over 60-70km (38-45 miles) when used in conjunction with high performance, high-sensitivity node receivers like the RFV 100ND/RCV. The unit is ideally suited for direct fiber transmission of CATV RF signals in FTTC, FTTH, MDU, industrial, corporate, government, educational or other I Net applications where a high performance, compact, standalone transmitter is required.
System Design
The RFV-870/XMT is a rugged, self-contained device with exterior RF and optical connections and test points. The field-configurable SC-APC (or FC-APC) optical output connector can be mounted on the front or rear-panel. The RFV-870/XMT is forced air cooled via an external high- MTBF fan, which is designed to be field-replacable without interrupting operation.
The unit features a unique provision which allows the unit to perform as a stand alone transmitter or as a rack mount transmitter with the OTLL-RMKIT (optional). Up to (3) OTOT-870’s can be mounted in a 1RU (1.75") 19" EIA space with each kit.
