Product Description
The Thor 16MW 1310nm CATV RF Over Fiber Transmitter is a top - notch device designed for transmitting Television RF signals in the 45 - 870 MHz range. It directly converts incoming RF signals to optical RF, allowing all channels and programs to be transported over a single fiber. This transmitter is extremely versatile. It can be used for point - to - point connections, or combined with PLC couplers and fiber optic splitters for point - to - multipoint setups. It outputs industry - standard RFoG signals, which most fiber optic RF receivers from other manufacturers can accept. The front - panel LCD is easy to read, providing useful information and alarm data while simplifying configuration. It features a highly linear DFB laser with automatic adjustment circuitry and Automatic Gain Control. An optional second internal Power Supply Unit adds extra reliability. Key features include 16mW laser optics for an optical output power of at least +10 dBm, temperature - controlled optics for consistent power output, a broadband RF response for full - lineup TV RF transport, and the ability to transport any channels in the 45 - 870 MHz broadband range. Technical specs: Laser Power is 16mW, Optical Power is > +10 dBm, Fiber Connector is SC/APC, RF Input Power is 19 - 21 dBmV, RF Connector is Type - F 75 Ohm, Power Input is 120 - 240 VAC, Power Rating is 50W, Dimensions are 19 x 10 x 1.75 IN, Temperature range is - 5 - 65 C. The package includes an optical transmitter, a US power cable, and a user manual.
Using this Thor RF over fiber transmitter is quite straightforward. First, connect the RF input using the Type - F 75 Ohm connector. Make sure the input power is within the 19 - 21 dBmV range. Then, connect the fiber using the SC/APC connector. Plug the power cable into a 120 - 240 VAC power source. The front - panel LCD will show you important information and any alarm data. For point - to - point connections, just set it up as described. If you want to use it for point - to - multipoint applications, combine it with PLC couplers and fiber optic splitters. When it comes to maintenance, keep the device in a temperature - controlled environment between - 5 and 65 C. Check the power supply regularly, especially if you've opted for the second internal Power Supply Unit. Clean the connectors gently to ensure good signal transmission. Don't expose the device to extreme humidity or physical shocks. If you have any questions, refer to the user manual that comes with the package.
