The Optilink 10×2 DC Optical Transmitter (10 dBm × 2 Outputs) featuring a 5-hour battery backup is a highly popular and practical choice for localized Cable TV (CATV) and FTTH network distributions. It serves as an excellent intermediate option, providing a longer uptime than the standard 4-hour models without requiring the bulkier battery casing of a 14-hour marathon variant.
Here is the complete technical information for this device:
⚙️ Technical Specifications
- Optical Output Power: 10 dBm × 2 Ports (Two separate high-intensity laser ports capable of driving clean signals to distant nodes or optical splitters).
- Operating Wavelength: 1310 nm (The industry-standard spectrum for single-mode fiber-optic analog and digital cable broadcasting).
- Operating Voltage: 12V DC input, minimizing current draw to stretch the battery life cycle as much as possible.
- Integrated Battery Backup: Equipped with a standard-plus Lithium-ion (Li-ion) rechargeable battery pack that provides a solid 5 hours of continuous field runtime during local blackouts.
- Frequency Response Range: 47 MHz to 1000 MHz (Fully compatible with all modern digital set-top boxes and high-definition analog channel layouts).
- Optical Interfaces: Dual SC/APC precise connection ports to ensure low back-reflection.
🛠️ Key Product Features
- Advanced Intelligent AGC: Houses internal Automatic Gain Control (AGC) circuitry. If incoming RF power fluctuates, the unit automatically compensates to maintain an identical, stabilized optical output power—preventing picture freezing or signal drops on customer televisions.
- Zero-Delay Auto Cut-over: The micro-switch mechanism senses a loss of mains electricity instantly. It shifts onto internal battery reserve in under a millisecond, guaranteeing zero downtime or reboot lag across your fiber loop.
- Convection Aluminum Shell: Built into a compact, heavy-duty aluminum die-cast frame that acts as a natural heatsink, eliminating mechanical cooling fans and preventing dust accumulation inside the components.
- Intuitive Troubleshooting Panel: Simple front LED lights visually monitor Laser Emission Status, Input Power Feed, Battery Charge Level, and low-battery warnings.
