PICO MACOM
PN-1
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
T
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.
Indoor Optical Node
Features
• Rugged, 7˝ x 4˝ x 3˝ precision aluminum die-cast case
guarantees excellent mechanical integrity, ease of instal lation and shielding effectiveness.
• Bi-directional operation with forward bandwidth from
54~860MHz (analog and digital) and reverse bandwidth
from 5~42MHz.
• Wide optical window (-6dBm to 3dBm) provides excel-
lent operation at low optical input levels.
• Full 25dBmV typical RF output for superior C/N
performance.
• Return loss guarantees excellent impedance match
across the frequency band with minimal reflection and
cross coupling between ports.
• Input and output -20dB F-connector test points for
monitoring RF signals to prevent system overload.
• Calibrated 1V/mW optical input into the receiver
and optical level out of the transmitter.
• Optical power monitoring for optimal optical input
and output power range indication.
• Equipped with internal 80~130 Vac power supply
with filter to eliminate hum modulation.
• Integrated high linearity optical receiver and
transmitter for two-way operation.
