Forward/8-Channel GEPON Multiplexer (GP-MUX-8)

Data Sheet

The QAMnet GP-MUX-8 series Multiplexer is designed specifically for integrating GEPON transceivers with forward path optical signal in HFC networks.

Product Overview

The QAMnet GP-MUX-8 series Multiplexer is designed specifically for integrating GEPON transceivers with forward path optical signal in HFC networks. Housed inside a 1U rack-mount frame, GP-MUX-8 combines / multiplexes 8 independent GEPON (1310 nm/1490 nm) channels with a common 1550 nm forward-path optical input.

Utilizing a state of art DWDM filter technology, the GP-MUX-8 provides a proven performance of low insertion loss, high isolation and a broad bandwidth operation. It features a single input for 1550 nm analog/HDTV/QAM-based digital channels. The forward 1550 nm input is split internally into 8 ways and then combined with 8 separate channels of GEPON input.

Applications

  • HFC
  • FTTH
  • RFoG

Features

  • Low insertion loss
  • High isolation value of 30 dB
  • 8 channel of multiplexer in single unit
  • Broad operating wavelength range
  • Operating temperature range -10°C to +65°C
