Optical receiver ARCOTEL GA8045 (OR) is designed to work in the optical parts of cable TV networks. Basically it is modern FTTB, FTTC (fiber to the building and fiber to the curb) network.
This receiver converts the input optical amplitude-modulated signal into a radio frequency (RF) broadband signal and performs its gain for further distribution over coaxial cable.
High output level of the RF signal permits to minimize the number of home amplifiers used in the network.
Main features:
- High sensitivity and wide range of input optical signals
- Electronic control of level and slope
- Improved AGC of the input optical signal
- Modern GaAs output amplifier provides high output level (up to 116 dBmkV) with minimal distortion under multi-channel transmission
- Control of the input optical signal, of output RF signal, temperature, power supply voltage
- Two RF outputs, swapped output splitter
- Switching power supply, low power consumption
- Rugged die-cast housing
- Output 8/5 «connectors with adapters for F type

Notes:
- The maximum operating range of the AGC system
- FC / APC connector on request
- Adjustment is carried out with step of 1 dB
- Typical value when the level of input signal is 2 dBm. C/N ratio of the optical transmission line depends on several parameters: on the input optical power , on the optical
