The OLSON TECHNOLOGY, INC. LaserPlus Model LP-x is a compact,
high density optical transmission system which allows hub, headend
and digital transport to coexist on a single, scalable platform. It pro­vides the outstanding performance, system design flexibility and scala­bility in almost any network architecture from traditional Hybrid Fiber
Coax (HFC) to the newer fiber-deep Targeted Service Delivery (TSD)
area topologies. As such, the LaserPlus is the ideal platform for the
transport of evolving services and resultant expanding bandwidth
requirements in today’s advanced HFC and PON networks.

The three (3) rack-unit LaserPlus chassis accepts up to fifteen “mix­and-match” applications modules and single or dual redundant inde­pendent power supplies (AC or DC), minimizing headend space
requirements. This fully-integrated, cost effective package utilizes many
of the very latest RF and optical design techniques to provide superior
system performance to beyond 1,000 MHz, while dramatically reducing
component size and minimizing system powering requirements, and
the costs normally associated with them.

The LaserPlus transmission platform is the perfect companion to opti­cal receiver/node products in the Olson Technology, Inc. MetroNode
Model OTMN-II and PremiseNode Model OTPN-x product families, but
is also designed to operate seamlessly with optical transmitters,
receivers and nodes from most leading manufacturers.

LaserPlus System

up to 13 chassis can be installed in a standard 70"
rack

• High Density: Up to 15 applications modules per
3RU 19" EIA chassis; 195 modules per 70" rack

• Scalable: Full lineup of application modules opti­mizes virtually any CATV system architecture, from
traditional 4:1 “blast-and-split” HFC configurations to
newer topologies with 1:1 forward path segmentation

• High Performance Fwd 1310nm Transmitters: 3dBm
to 15dBm outputs @ 1310nm; 195 per 70" rack

The Olson LaserPlus LP-OLAT Advanced LBand Transmitter offers a feature-rich, versatile system in a
compact rack-mount package. The Advanced L-Band Transmitter has been engineered to meet today's
high performance standards for LBand transport with an extreme bandwidth range that will also allow the
system to handle the next generation of satellite signals. The Advanced L-Band system is ideal for a wide
variety of communications applications, including L-Band satellite antenna remoting, trunking radio,
telemetry tracking, and time and frequency reference distribution. The extended frequency range to 4GHz
allows this system to accommodate additional transponders coinciding with common European satellite
communication applications.

The enhanced bandwidth to 4GHz is also unique in that it facilitates stacked LNB applications to accom­modate additional transponders containing enhanced DBS programming services (e.g., HDTV, local
channels, etc.) over single-mode fiber for DBS television distribution in campus, fiber-to-the-pre-mise
(FTTx), and multiple dwelling unit (MDU) environments. The transmitter is offered with 75 Ohm imped­ance using “F” RF connectors or 50 Ohms with SMA RF connectors. Optical connector op-tions include
SC/APC and FC/APC. Built-in test points, LED indicators and alarms allow the receiver to be easily set
up and maintained.

The LP-OLAT Transmitter is housed in a machined Aluminum enclosure that fits the standard LaserPlus
chassis allowing up to 14 or 15 modules in a 3RU space. (The exact number is determined by the num­ber of power supplies in the chassis, single or dual).

LaserPlus

1 GHz High Density Compact CATV Optical Transmission System

The LaserPlus Model LP-CH-16 Chassis fits into a 19­inch EIA rack, and holds up to 15 interchangeable, hot­swappable, plug-in application modules. Each
chassis requires one power supply & accepts a 2nd for
hot redundant backup, & has provisions for both local
monitoring & remote SNMP element management.

The chassis is very compact, occupying only 5.25” (3
RU) of rack space. Universal slots accept almost any
“mix-and-match” combination of Olson Technology, Inc.

LaserPlus Model LP-x transmitter, receiver, EDFA,
block downconverter, passive optical coupler or WDM application modules, to accommodate a limitless variety of service
delivery architectures and provide flexibility and scalability in headend/hub design and zone arrangements.

It also includes an integrated internal fiber management tray. The connecting optical fiber(s) can enter the chassis from the
front, or from fiber routing apertures located on either (or both) sides of the chassis. Once the fiber connection is made, the
fiber cable can be secured in an integrated fiber management tray, located above the application modules. Drop slots are
conveniently placed along the tray to assure minimum fiber clutter in front of the modules. The application modules slide into
the chassis from the front of the rack, and all RF coaxial cables are connected at the rear.

A single AC or DC power supply module plugged into the primary power supply slot# 16 is sufficient to power a fully loaded
LaserPlus chassis; two power supplies (in slots# 15 & 16) may be used to provide hot-redundant backup. For maximum fail­safe protection, an AC module can be used in combination with a DC module to provide simultaneous AC and DC powering to
the LaserPlus chassis.
