Description The Light Link Series 2 optical transmitter model employs a high performance thermally stabilised, DFB, low-chirp, isolated laser to transmit CATV signals. Operating on a specific optical wavelength in the ITU- DWDM grid, the unit suits single mode optical fibre networks with or without dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM). The unit can optionally be equipped with an integrated erbium doped fibre amplifier (EDFA) for fibre to the home (FTTH) applications. Designed for high channel loading and superior performance, this transmitter can achieve distances of up to 10 km on standard fibres and up to 30 km on 1550 nm dispersion shifted fibres. optical transmitters incorporate a comprehensive alarm and status monitoring system of all laser operating parameters such as DC Laser Bias Current, Cooler Current and Optical Output Power. The data is available simultaneously on a front panel LCD display, on a USB connector, and optionally via a HTTP/SNMP network module. Features Analog InGaAsP DFB low-chirp laser with optical isolator and thermoelectric cooler. Handles legacy analogue cable television as well as digital DVB-T or DVB-C formats. 45 MHz to 1000 MHz forward path RF amplifier with automatic gain control (AGC) for a constant optical modulation index (OMI). Automatic Peltier thermo-cooler control and automatic laser power control for constant laser temperature and optical output. Option for integrated Erbium Doped Fibre Amplifier (EDFA) to achieve the very high optical power levels as required for FTTH systems. Self-contained 19 subrack 1 RU with integrated universal mains power supply. Backlit LCD display provides status monitoring and control. Front panel mounted USB craft port with optional Ethernet port on the rear panel for SNMP/HTTP network management. PBN. - Datasheet V5e - Released - 21 Sep 07.doc - Page 1 of 5

Back-scatter can significantly reduce CNR and CSO performance. Hence the models with 80, 100, 120, 160, 200 and 250 mw power output should be ordered with the appropriate split, keeping the power per port at a more manageable and safe level.
