The OLSON TECHNOLOGY INC. LaserLite Model OTOR-300 is a high quality, cost
effective CATV Return Path Receiver which utilizes a new low noise, impedance
matched, high efficiency 1310/1550nm broadband photodiode and advanced RF
amplification circuitry to facilitate carriage of critical downstream video, data, telephony
and internet traffic in an HFC broadband environment.

The unit is ideally suited for direct fiber reception of CATV RF signals in FTTC, FTTH,
MDU, industrial, corporate, government, educational or other I-Net applications where
a high performance, compact, standalone downstream receiver is required for desk­top, shelf or wall-mounting.

The OTOR-300 is a rugged, self-contained device with external RF and optical con­nections and test points and internal 90-240 VAC power supply. The field-configurable
SC/APC (or optional FC/APC) optical input connector can be mounted on the front­panel or rear-panel of the unit. The unit is forced air cooled via an external high-MTBF
fan, which is designed to be field-replacable without interrupting operation.

The unit features a unique provision which allows the the OTOR-300 to perform as a
standalone downstream receiver -OR- as a rack mount return receiver with the addi­tion of the Model# OTLL-RMKIT (optional). Up to (3) OTOR-300’s can be can be
mounted in a 1RU (1.75") 19" EIA space with each kit.

The OTOR-300 is the perfect companion to other models in the Olson Technology,
Inc. LaserLite and LaserPlus product families, but is also designed to mate with opti­cal transmitters and receivers from most leading manufacturers. The OTOR-300 can
also be colocated with the Olson Model OTOT-1000-x Optical Transmitter to form the
headend side of a two-way “transceiver” configuration, when mated on the remote
subscriber end with the Olson Model OTPN-1000 indoor node or Olson Model OTMN­II outdoor 4-port node.
