Toner Cable Medallion 6000 User Manual

The L-Type/D-Type/S-Type/H-Type/F-Type/N-Type Medallion 6000
series product line is a family of state-of-the-art high performance 1550
nm externally modulated CATV fiber optic transmitters optimized for
varying network applications. Packaged in a convenient 1RU housing,
this line of optical transmitters couples high optical output powers, up
to 11.0 dBm, with low optical linewidth resulting in unmatched perfor­mance. The optical modulator, combined with proprietary predistortion
circuitry, provides superior CTB and CSO performance with SBS sup­pression levels of greater than 20 dBm. Advanced features such as
built in field adjustable SBS control and electronic dispersion compen­sation allows these transmitters to be quickly optimized in the field for
any link or application without the need to procure specifically tuned
transmitters. This affords the system designer a level of flexibility previ­ously unknown in the CATV market place.

MEDALLION 6000 Series

1550 nm Externally Modulated Transmitter

The L-Type series are designed as a high performance solution for applications where the simultaneous transport of CATV
and SAT-IF FM signals is required. The SAT-IF signals can be applied anywhere in the 950 to 2800 MHz band.

The D-Type series are designed as a low cost, high performance solution for applications where the required fiber length is
in the range of 20 to 50 kilometers. Advanced, high power, DFB laser technology allows these transmitters to be fielded with­out the use of expensive and performance degrading EDFAs.

The S-Type series transmitters are designed to be the most versatile model within the Medallion 6000 series family. They
can easily be configured to meet most HFC network solutions requiring link lengths in the range of 50 to 70 kilometers with
one EDFA as well as links utilizing multiple EDFA’s.

The H-Type series transmitters are optimized for single EDFA fiber links in the 70 to 90 kilometer range. These transmitters
take advantage of our advanced fiber dispersion compensation circuitry to provide exceptional CATV performance.

The F-Type series transmitters are intended for use in FTTx and RFoG architecture designs requiring high quality transmis­sion over varying transmission lengths and EDFA output powers. These transmitters successfully support very high optical
launch powers while controlling the detrimental effects of Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS), group
velocity dispersion (GVD), and self phase modulation (SPM).

The N-Type series transmitters are intended for use in node-splitting architecture designs requiring cost effective DWDM
transmission over medium length fiber distances.
