AIMA-FT5P-G2

1550 nm Forward Transmitter - Performance
AIMA-FT5P-G2

The AIMA FT5P-G2 is the second generation of the 1550 nm Forward Transmitter – Performance, which is designed to plug into PBN’s latest Advanced Intelligent Multi-services Access platform (AIMA3000).

The A-FT5P-G2 series transmitter is designed for multi-services operators (MSOs) to increase network capacity, satisfying an ever-growing subscriber demand for more bandwidth. It can work with Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFA) in short haul Fiberto- the-Home (FTTH) applications and medium haul setups with a high RF performance of up to 60 km.
