The FIBT-S3A and MIBT-S3A Series of transmitters provides a robust system for transferring broadband CATV signals over single mode optical fibers. Both series have a a frequency bandwidth of 45- 860 MHz that accommodates a variety of different modulation formats such as AM/VSB, 8VSB, QAM, QPSK, etc. FIBT/MIBT-S3A series transmitters use high-power, low noise 1310 nm distributed feedback (DFB) laser diodes. An optical isolator protects the laser from optical reflections in the transmission path. This ensures high CNR, excellent linearity and consistent link performance. The FIBT transmitters are EIA 19" wide rack mountable with a height of 1.75". The MIBT transmitters utilize the MIRC-12V rack chassis and MIPS-12C power supply for mounting. Each MIBT-S3A occupies 2 slots within the MIRC chassis, therefore up to six (6) MIBT-S3A transmitters can be installed in 2 RU's. Both the FIBT and the MIBT's use efficient switching power supplies that accept utility power from 90 to 260 VAC and 50 to 60 Hz.

The FRRA is a fiber optic receiver module integrated with a rack mounted broadband distribution amplifier (RMDA). The FRRA is used as a launch amplifier in a coaxial distribution sub-system fed from a single mode broadband fiber network. The FRRA's optical receiver section provides exceptional CNR performance at low optical input levels. This feature is also a cost saving one, since it permits the use of lower optical power transmitters. The FRRA is available in two models with RF bandwidths of 550 MHz and 860 MHz. Both models feature power doubling hybrid amplifier technology for high RF output levels and low distortion. The FRRA operates with the FIBT Series of transmitters as well as those from other leading manufacturers.

The FOCN-20X Series is a low-cost, compact 2-way node designed to deliver the full array of CATV services presently available and those planned for the future. These services include video (analog and digital), high speed data and telephony. The FOCN has applications for the direct fiber transmission of CATV RF signals in MDU, industrial, government and educational facilities, or wherever a high performance compact indoor node is required. The unit is constructed with high quality components enabling it to meet or exceed its performance specifications in an uncontrolled indoor environment with wide temperature variations. The FOCN-20X is available in 5 models. All models have at their core a 1310/1550 nm optical receiver with exceptional optical sensitivity and 28 dBmv RF output at an optical input of -1dBm. The differences between the models pertain to return path operation.

Models are available in both 1-way or 2-way configurations. The 2-way models are availabe with either a 1310 nm FP laser or a 1310 nm or 1550 nm DFB laser. All 2-way models have a return RF bandwidth of 5-42 MHz. Other standard features include LEDs for optical input and laser status. Powering is via a 12 VDC supply and can be accomplished in either of two ways. To power locally, a separate power connector marked "+12 VDC power in", is provided. Alternately, the unit can accept 12 VDC from its RF output connector, thus permitting remote powering by diplexing the 12 VDC supply onto the RF output.
