Forward Optical Receiver
Operation Manual
Chapter 1 Introduction
Overview
The CATV fiber optic receiver uses a high linear InGaAs PIN diode as light detector, converting the optical
signal from transmitter into RF signals. The RF signals are then distributed to the end users. There are two
front-end opt ical rece ivers in th e units, and s hare the sam e RF signal am plifier, two receiv ers could prov ide
redundancy function in network. The main applications are as follows:
• Head-end broadcasting
• Head-end to head-end program exchange
• Transmission of video and sound through Hybrid Fiber Coaxial (HFC) networks
In order to achieve maximum performance and confidence by the customer, we detail the characteristics,
applications, and operating instructions in the following chapters. We expect to satisfy the needs of the
customer and provide quality service.

RS-485Interface Pin Definition
This RS-485 is full duplex type, so master and slave pin assignment is not the sa me. The connector definition
should be as following.
Master:(PC side)
1、 Receive+
2、 Receive3、 Transmit4、 Transmit+
Slave:(TX side)
1、 Transmit+
2、 Transmit3、 Receive4、 Receive+
Please make sure AC power is off when replacing new fuse.
