The L-Type/D-Type/S-Type/F-Type/N-Type Medallion 6000 Series
The Medallion 6000 series is a family of state-of-the-art high-performance 1550
nm externally-modulated CATV fiber optic transmitters optimized for varying
network applications. Packaged in convenient 1 RU housing, this line of optical
transmitters couples high optical output powers, up to 11.0 dBm, with low optical
linewidth resulting in unmatched performance. The optical modulator, combined
with proprietary pre-distortion circuitry, provides superior CTB and CSO
performance with SBS suppression levels of greater than 21 dBm. Advanced
features such as built-in field adjustable SBS control and electronic dispersion
compensation allow these transmitters to be quickly optimized in the field for any
link or application without the need to procure specifically tuned transmitters. This
affords the system designer a level of flexibility previously unknown in the CATV
market place.
Applications
High-Performance Supertrunking Links
High Power Distribution Networks
Redundant Ring Architectures
FTTx Networks
RFoG Applications
SAT-IF Transport
The L-Type series are designed as a high-performance solution for applications
where the simultaneous transport of CATV and SAT-IF FM signals is required.
The SAT-IF signals can be applied anywhere in the 950 to 2800 MHz band.
DWDM Node Splitting
Features
The D-Type series are designed as a low cost, high-performance solution for
applications where the required fiber length is in the range of 20 to 50 kilometers.
Advanced, high power, DFB laser technology allows these transmitters to be
fielded without the use of EDFAs.
Single or Dual Optical Outputs
QAM Loading to 1003 MHz
Dual Power Supplies, Redundant &
Hot Swappable
The S-Type series transmitters are designed to be the most versatile models
within the Medallion 6000 series family. They can easily be configured to meet
most HFC network solutions requiring link lengths in the range of 50 to 70
kilometers with one EDFA as well as links utilizing multiple EDFA’s.
Front Panel RF Test Point
SNMP Control Interface
WEB GUI
The F-Type series transmitters are intended for use in FTTx and RFoG
architecture designs requiring high-quality transmission over varying transmission
lengths and EDFA output powers. These transmitters successfully support very
high optical launch powers while controlling the detrimental effects of Stimulated
Brillouin Scattering (SBS), group velocity dispersion (GVD), and self phase
modulation (SPM).

OMI / RF Gain Adjustment
AGC Select: CW, Video, Manual
(No AGC)
Industry Leading Field Adjustable
SBS Suppression
The N-Type series transmitters are intended for use in node-splitting architecture
designs requiring cost effective DWDM transmission over medium length fiber
distances.
