Single Port RFoG Mini-Node (iTRVR-R)

Data Sheet

The QAMnet iTRVR-R is a bi-directional analog Optical Network Unit (ONU) designed for Deep Fiber and RFoG applications.

Product Overview

The QAMnet iTRVR-R is a bi-directional analog Optical Network Unit (ONU) designed for Deep Fiber and RFoG applications. Using Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology, a 1550 nm receiver and a 1310 nm or CWDM laser transmitter are combined into a common optical port. The iTRVR-R is a versatile, compact, and low cost mini-node. With standard HFC configuration of a forward receiver and a reverse transmitter, the iTRVR-R can provide the HD video and QAM data bandwidth capacity of a traditional HFC optical node, but at a fraction of the cost and size.

With its fast Burst Mode operation, the iTRVR-R Mini-Node is designed for next generation FTTH applications such as RF over Glass (RFoG) or Cable Passive Optical Networks (Cable PON). The return path bandwidth capacity of the RFoG systems can be increased by a factor of 8, by using return path laser with from 8 different CWDM wavelengths. Additionally, the iTRVR-R is well-suited for a node splitting solution of a deep fiber system that enhances an existing HFC infrastructure.
