VS1310TX - 1U 1310nm Transmitter

VS1310TX - 1U 1310nm Transmitter

The standard rack-mounted VS1310TX series 1310nm optical transmitters are designed for HFC and fiber to the home (FTTH) network applications. These AM modulated transmitters have a wide bandwidth from 45 to 870MHz and can be used for both analog and digital signals transmission. The VS1310TX series transmitters employ high performance 1310nm MQW DFB lasers with integrated optical isolator. These lasers operate at a wide range of optical output power from 6 to 20mW, providing system designers a flexible loss budgets.

The VS1310TX series features an integrated advanced pre-distortion circuit which achieves superior CSO and CTB performance. The embedded MCU circuit monitors and controls full status parameters and remote communications. All parameters can be accessed either through the front panel LCD or RS232 or RS485 interface located on the rear panel of the transmitters.

Features

  • High performance cooled DFB laser with integrated optical isolator
  • 19" standard 1U rack design
  • Bandwidth 45~870MHz
  • 6/8/10/13/16/20 mW optical output power
  • Automatic/manual gain control(AGC/MGC)
  • RF input test point
  • LCD display/control functions
  • LED status indicator lights

VS1550TX - 1U 1550nm Transmitter

VS1550TX - 1U 1550nm Transmitter

The VS1550TX series is a family of high performance 1550nm externally modulated analog transmitters. These optical transmitters are packaged in a 1RU 19’’ standard chassis and are available in several configurations to meet various network requirements. There are two versions of the VS1550TX series transmitters ---- fixed SBS version and adjustable SBS version, both providing a minimum optical output power of 7 dBm from 2 ports. The VS1550TX series transmitters feature high carrier to noise ratio (CNR), superior flatness, and low power consumption. With integrated proprietary pre-distortion circuit, the VS1550TX series transmitters provide excellent CSO and CTB performance.
