FTTH CATV optical receiver
CRO-51
CRO-51 is RFTV broadcast receiver for FTTx optical fiber
networks.
This product adopts high sensitivity receiving components
and special low noise circuit.
Main product features:
z very low noise (3.8% modulation, -10dBm receive
level with CNR >45dB)
z receive optical power in range +3dBm to -12dBm
with good linearity
z inside 47 ~ 862 MHz, all have good flatness
FL=1.0dB
z metal shell, supply safeguards to opto-electrical sensing device
z high output level
z low power consumption

Back panel:
PAD – attenuation control. Note: PAD control not effective in model CRO-51 (PAD effective in
model CRO-51M, CRO-51AM).
RF OUT – output connector
Front panel:
FIBER IN: SC/APC connector, input for fiber optic signal
Status indicator LOW: LED off = signal low below -13dBm
LED green = signal ok, -12dBm ~ +3dBm
LED red = too high, more than +3dBm
POWER: power input 12V DC.
