LT1550

19’’ 1RU 1550nm Laser Transmitter
LT1550

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.
