CATV
Model 2804 Transmitter
The Force, Incorporated CATVLinx®Model 2804 110 Channel CATV
Professional Distribution System (PDS) transmitter is part of a robust system for
transferring up to 110 channels of VSB/AM modulated signals over a singlemode optical fiber. The system is also suitable for transferring 80 CATV channels along with 30 digital QAM channels in the upper frequency range. The
Model 2804 provides 40-860 MHz of usable bandwidth for video signals
stacked at 6 MHz intervals. A low loss single-mode fiber allows full channel
loading to beyond 20 km while maintaining a good carrier-to-noise ratio. A key
power lock ensures the transmitter cannot be accidentally turned off, and a blue
7-segment LED readout allows the user to monitor a number of system parameters. A-20 dB RF test point on the front panel provides a convenient avenue
for installing, commissioning, and troubleshooting the transmitter. The Model
2804 may be used with the Model 2807 mini-node receiver for use in return
path and multiple splitter applications or with the Model 2808 receiver for basic
110 channel CATV transmission. In all cases, the link provides excellent performance for many demanding applications such as broadband LANs, distance
learning, and multiple data services.
Features
• Transmits up to 110 channels over one single-mode fiber.
• VSB/AM transmission ensures compatibility
with standard CATV modulators, processors, etc.
• The transmitter includes a 7-segment LED
and other indicator LEDs that allow critical
system parameters to be accurately monitored.
• An integral -20 dB RF test port simplifies
installation, commissioning, and troubleshooting.
• Key lock power switch prevents accidental
power-down.
• Multiple laser output power options provide
complete system design flexibility.
• Excellent for medium to large campus video
distribution systems.
