Fiber Optic Series
PICO MACOM
PFT
he Pico Macom PFT Series of optical transmitters is available in nine output power levels, from 6 to 14dBm, allowing flexibility in numerous CATV applications. Each unit takes various combinations of input modulated RF signals and converts them
T
to light for distribution to nodes. With an optical wavelength of 1310nm and a bandwidth of 54~860MHz, the transmitter
supports transmission of NTSC and QAM RF signals over a single-mode optical fiber. The PFT Series optical fiber transmitters are
19˝ wide and rack mounted with a height of 1RU.
