User manual - TXFOT1SWB
Version 1
System Operation:
Fiber-optic distribution has as its head plant a traditional type of receiving system and thus antennas, dishes
and Wideband LNBs and any signal equalization and amplification stations; TV and Sat signals are sent to an
optical transmitter that transforms electrical signal variations into light signal variations, effectively adapting
the signals to be transferred remotely over fiber optics. Fiber is deputed to carry the signals. Whenever there
is a need to divide this signal into several lines on a par with traditional installations, a device called an op-
tical divider or optical splitter is used, which splits the signal into several optical transport lines without loss
of quality, albeit with calculated attenuation. Once in the vicinity of the unit to be served, the optical signal is
converted back into a traditional signal by the optical receivers on their outputs generate RF signals, which
are made available to the end user via traditional components (coaxial cables, multiswitches and demixed
sockets).
1.3 Product Installation
CAUTION: A direct optical connection cannot be made between TXFOT1SWB, RXFOT1SWB and RXFOT-
1DCSS.
This is only possible by using optical line attenuators as the maximum input power to the optical receiver
cannot exceed -8 dBm. Check the optical signal level on the fiber using an optical meter before connecting it
to the TXFOT1SWB, RXFOT1SWB and RXFOT1DCSS receivers.
2. Grounding
Make the grounding connection of the device before powering it.This procedure is necessary to avoid dama-
ge to the lasers.
3. Power supply
First connect the female Jack connector of the external power supply to the DC IN input of the TXFOT1SWB
transmitter, then connect the external power supply to the power supply.
3.1 Optical fiber connection
The transmitter has an optical SC/APC connector as well as SPxVSCA, FRWxxSCA and MSP1Xxx series
optical splitters, couplers and attenuators. Use the CSxV, ATSCxx, SC/APC suspenders (item BSCAxxx) and
adaptor sockets (item ASCAPC) to connect the optical equipment to the passive optical distribution.Maxital
provides fiber optic suspenders pre-tested with BSCAxxx series SC/APC connectors of different lengths for
connecting the splitters and couplers via ASCAPC adaptor sockets.
