HDO378 Transmitter
The HDO378 is a DWDM DFB laser transmitter for digital return path fibre optic links in CATV networks. The module has two return path inputs and one optical wavelength carries two RF return paths. HDO378 transmitter is available at different ITU wavelengths to support DWDM applications. Optical output connector can be factory installed at the rear or at the front panel. Other standard features include a field-replaceable fan unit and remote control of all adjustments.
