2 Introduction 2.1 Overview The 1550 nm Forward Transmitter – Enhanced (FT5E) is designed to plug into the Technetix latest Advanced Intelligent Multi-services Access platform – the AIMA3000. The FT5E supports DOCSIS 3.1 technical standards. It allows for broadcast and narrowcast dual RF inputs, providing individual amplifying and transmission gain configuration for each circuit.
3. Two ports for NC inputsand two for laser RF level. 4. CNR/CSO/CTB are tested with 77 NTSC CW channels (55.25MHz-547.25MHz). MER and BER are tested with 110 QAM256. All parameters are measured using a Technetix reference receiver, 10 km fibre, and 0 dBm input level.
LC/APC FC/APC E2000/APC Bandwidth 45-1218 MHz 1. Default spacing is 200 GHz. For other wavelength configurations not listed, please contact Technetix. 2. Standard option. Contact a Technetix sales representative for availability of other options. Oct/2017 - V1 Technetix Group Limited...
