Mini Optical Transceiver (mTRVR-1)

Data Sheet

The QAMnet mTRVR-1 is a mini optical transceiver designed for Node Splitting implementation in HFC networks.

Product Overview

The QAMnet mTRVR-1 is a mini optical transceiver designed for Node Splitting implementation in HFC networks. Using proven Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology, a 1550 nm forward receiver and a 1310 nm return transmitter are combined into a common optical input/output port. The mTRVR-1 is a versatile, compact, and a low cost module that has the performance of a optical node. With standard HFC configuration of a forward receiver and a reverse transmitter, the mTRVR-1 can provide the HD video and QAM data bandwidth capacity of a traditional HFC optical node, but at a small fraction of the cost.

Along with other QAMnet products, the mTRVR-1 is an ideal deep fiber solution for delivering Switch Digital Broadcasting (SDB), as well as high-speed QAM data services over existing HFC fiber infrastructure. Using a single optical input/output design, the mTRVR-1 can be easily integrated with the next generation HFC networks architectures, such as RF over Glass (RFoG) or Cable Passive Optical Networks (Cable PON). The QAMnet mTRVR-1 features an always-on (CW) configuration in return path, such that the optical transmission is maintained constant output, regardless of the RF input level.
