Indoor Optical Node
T
he Pico Macom model PN-1 is a cost-effective and fully featured indoor optical node specifically designed for the delivery
of analog and digital video, high-speed data and telephony signals and future broadband services into homes. This unit
has diverse applications in MDU, industrial, government and educational institutions for broadband signal distribution
over hybrid optical networks. The optical core employed in the unit design is a 1310/1550nm optical receiver with a wide
optical input window of -6 to 3dBm for superb signal transmission. The PN-1 has an integrated optical attenuator and equalizer compensation circuit to guarantee excellent broadband signal delivery thereby eliminating signal overload distortions RF
output. The PN-1 employs GaAs amplifier technology for excellent low and high frequency RF performance and spurious-free
output. The unit is powered with a 120/240Vac internal power supply.
Features
•
Rugged, 7˝ x 4˝ x 3˝ precision aluminum die-cast case guarantees excellent mechanical integrity, ease of instal-
lation and shielding effectiveness.
• Calibrated 1V/mW optical input into the receiver and optical level out of the transmitter.
• Bi-directional operation with forward bandwidth from 54~860MHz (analog and digital) and reverse bandwidth from 5~42MHz.
• Optical power monitoring for optimal optical input and output power range indication.
• Wide optical window (-6dBm to 3dBm) provides excel-
lent operation at low optical input levels.
Equipped with internal 80~130 Vac power supply with filter to eliminate hum modulation.
• Full 25dBmV typical RF output for superior C/N
performance.
• Integrated high linearity optical receiver and
transmitter for two-way operation.
• Return loss guarantees excellent impedance match across the frequency band with minimal reflection and cross coupling between ports.
Ordering Information
• Input and output -20dB F-connector test points for
monitoring RF signals to prevent system overload.
