CATV
The C-Type/J-Type/F-Type/S-Type Medallion 8100 Series
The C-Type, J-Type, F-Type and S-Type Medallion 8100 series is a family of
DOCSIS 3.1 complaint, state-of-the-art high-performance 1550 nm externally
modulated CATV fiber optic transmitters optimized for varying network
applications. The Medallion 8100 series leverages a breakthrough optical device
innovation at its core, the Linear Externally Modulated Laser (L-EMLTM), invented,
developed and manufactured exclusively at EMCORE. The L-EMLTM device
consists of a high-power, low-noise, narrow linewidth laser combined with a
proprietary highly-linearized modulator in a monolithic assembly.
Applications
High Power Distribution Networks
Redundant Ring Architectures
FTTx Networks
RFoG Applications
SAT-IF Transport
Packaged in a convenient 1RU 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 unique EMCORE optical modulator, combined with
proprietary predistortion 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 allows 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 marketplace.
DWDM Node Splitting
Features
Single or Dual Optical Output
QAM or OFDM loading to 1218 MHz
Dual Power Supplies and Fans,
Redundant & Hot Swappable
Front Panel RF Test Point
SNMP Control Interface
Single 10/100BaseT Ethernet

The J-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 3500 MHz band.
.
The C-Type and S-Type series transmitters are intended for use in node-splitting
architecture designs requiring cost-effective DWDM transmission over medium
length fiber distances. They can easily be configured to meet most HFC network
solutions requiring link lengths in the range of 0 to 65 kilometers with one EDFA
as well as links utilizing multiple EDFA’s.
Vacuum Fluorescent Status Display
OMI / RF Gain Adjustment
AGC Select: CW, Video, Manual (No
AGC)
Industry-Leading Field Adjustable SBS
Suppression
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).
Supports DOCSIS 3.1 standard
Backward compatible to DOCSIS 3.0
