The L-type/D-type/S-type/F-type/N-type Medallion 6000 Series
This product line is a family of state-of-the-art high performance 1550 nm
externally modulated CATV fiber optic transmitters optimized for varying network
applications. Packaged in convenient 1RU housing, this line of optical transmitters
couples high optical output powers, up to 11.0 dBm, with low optical line width
resulting in unmatched performance. The optical modulator, combined with
proprietary pre-distortion circuitry, provides superior CTB and CSO performance
with SBS suppression levels of greater than 21 dBm. Advanced features such as
built in field adjustable SBS control and electronic dispersion compensation allow
these transmitters to be quickly optimized in the field for any link or application
without the need to procure specifically tuned transmitters. This affords the system
designer a level of flexibility previously unknown in the CATV market place.
The L-type series are designed as a high performance solution for applications
where the simultaneous transport of CATV and SAT-IF FM signals is required.
The SAT-IF signals can be applied anywhere in the 950 to 2800 MHz band.
The D-type series are designed as a low cost, high performance solution for
applications where the required fiber length is in the range of 20 to 50 kilometers.
Advanced, high power, DFB laser technology allows these transmitters to be
fielded without the use of EDFAs.
The S-type series transmitters are designed to be the most versatile model within
the Medallion 6000 series family. They can easily be configured to meet most
HFC network solutions requiring link lengths in the range of 50 to 70 kilometers
with one EDFA as well as links utilizing multiple EDFA’s.
The H-type series transmitters are optimized for single EDFA fiber links in the 70
to 90 kilometer range. These transmitters take advantage of our advanced fiber
dispersion compensation circuitry to provide exceptional CATV performance.
The F-type series transmitters are intended for use in FTTx and RFoG
architecture designs requiring high quality transmission over varying transmission
lengths and EDFA output powers. These transmitters successfully support very
high optical launch powers while controlling the detrimental effects of Stimulated
Brillouin Scattering (SBS), group velocity dispersion (GVD), and self phase
modulation (SPM).
The N-type series transmitters are intended for use in node-splitting architecture
designs requiring cost effective DWDM transmission over medium length fiber
distances.
