1. Overview
1.1 About This Manual
This instruction manual is a complete guide to install and operate the (1RU)
1550nm external modulated optical transmitter. Please read the entire manual before
beginning installation.
This manual applies to the external modulated optical transmitter.
• Chapter 1 gives general information about the 1550nm external modulated optical
transmitter.
• Chapter 2 describes the complete technical specifications of the equipment.
• Chapter 3 describes the front/rear panel interfaces and menu system.
• Chapter 4 tells you how to install the external modulated optical transmitter.
• Chapter 5 tells you the communication setting of the equipment.
• Chapter 6 describes maintenance and what to do in the event of problems.
1.2 Product Description
This optical transmitter is a 1550nm DFB laser external modulated transmitter. It
is specially developed for the CATV signal that satisfies HFC network, and the
long-distance transmission of cable phone and cable data.
Working principle
It has 7 function modules: RF control, DFB laser, optical modulator, SBS control,
CSO control, communication/display control and power supply.
Automatic gain control circuit (AGC) or manual gain control circuit (MGC)
amplifies the RF signal. AGC or MGC control makes the optical modulator maintain a
suitable input level. Use the detected RF root-meansquare(RMS)-total power to
calculate the optical modulation index(OMI).
In general we recommend using the AGC function, and special users can use the
MGC function to adjust the CNR/CSO/CTB performance indexes.
The core of transmitter is the optical modulator. The 1550nm signal input the
optical modulator, make the laser intensity changed follow the external RF signal
voltage, and then generate the AM optical signal.

Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) occurs, when the optical input power is
greater than a certain threshold value. SBS generate the lower frequency
backscattered light which will attenuate the transmission light and return to the laser
while destroying its performance. Causing optical power fluctuation, generates large
noise, and seriously deteriorates the system carrier to noise ratio (CNR). To improve
the SBS threshold, this optical transmitter adopts SBS control technology which is
independent researched and developed by ourselves. The threshold value can be set up
to 19dBm.
The optical modulator has a two-way optical signal output. Parts of that signal
are routed to an InGaAs photodiode. This detection of the optical signal has two
functions:
1) Detect whether the laser is normal working. Once the output optical power is
2dB lower than standard power, alarm will be set off.
2) Detect CSO distortion to optimize the bias point of the optical modulator. For
working normal the detector circuit needs at least two carrier signal inputs with an
interval of 24MHz. There is a CSO initialization program in the boot process. If the
CSO install failed, the RF indicator will flash red, see details in 6.2 Troubleshooting.

3.4.5 AGC Mode
This mode is the recommended mode and also the standard operation.
The optical transmitter will automatically adjust to the optimal gain while the input
level is in the working range (see the technical data sheet). And the specified OMI
(rms) modulation index will be automatic gain control.
3.4.6 MGC Mode
Special users, who need to adjust system CNR/CSO/CTB performance indexes to
satisfy the specified requirements, can use this mode. The amplification gain
attenuation range 0-15dB.
(Not recommend).
3.4.7 Frequency Adjust ITU in DWDM
To help DWDM applications, it can adjust optical wavelength. The adjustable range is
±100GHz, 50GHz stepping. The button on the front panel or the Ethernet interface
will complete the adjustment.
λ=c/f, c is the speed of light. It is the constant value.
c=299792458m/s, f is the frequency, its unit is Hz; eg frequency 193400GHZ, the
corresponding wavelength is 1550.12nm.
In the 1545-1560nm band, the frequency distance and the wavelength distance is very
similar to linear relationship.
50GHz frequency distance reflects to wavelength is very approximate to 0.4nm width;

As the same, 100GHz frequency distance reflects to wavelength is very approximate
to 0.8nm width.
3.4.8 SBS Suppression Adjustment
SBS value is very important in 1550nm long-distance transmission system. Stable
continuous coherent light source, add +6 dBm optical power in the standard single
mode fiber may occur SBS phenomenon. Ultrahigh SBS threshold will reduce CNR
and CSO low-frequency indicators.
High SBS threshold will also influence self phase modulation (SPM) and reduce
high-frequency CSO indicator.
When meet the conditions, as far as possible to use a low threshold SBS.
4. Installing the Optical Transmitter
4.1 Receiving and Inspecting

4.3 Mounting the Equipment
4.3.1 Mounting the Equipment in the Rack
Mounting the Equipment in the standard 19 inch equipment rack:
1. Place the equipment in the rack.
2. Use four screws fixed the mounting lug on its front panel to the rack.
3. Reliably ground the equipment. The ground terminal is on the rear panel.
4. Visually inspect each key (button) on the front panel to ensure that it is not trapped
under the edge of its hole. If a key is trapped, tap the key to enable it to move freely.
4.3.2 Connecting the RF Cables
Verify the RF input F connector type according to the ordering information, then
screw on the matched RF cable.
4.3.3 Connecting the Optical Fiber Cables
It has two output optical connectors.
DANGER: The fiber carries invisible laser radiation. AVOID DIRECT
EXPOSURE TO BEAM. Never operate the unit with a
broken fiber or with a fiber connector disconnected.
1. Verify the matched its fiber cable connector type according to the ordering
information.
2. Verify that the fiber cable connector has been cleaned properly. If the fiber cable
connector needs to be cleaned, follow the cleaning procedure outlined in “Cleaning
Patch Cord or Pigtail Fiber Optical Connectors”.
3. Verify that the optical connector has not been exposed to any contamination.
NOTE: Any contamination of optical connector can significantly degrade
optical link performance. This degradation will most likely
manifest itself as poor signal-to-noise (SNR) performance.
4. Note to butt the nick of the connectors and align them accordingly.

4.3.4 Connecting the Ethernet Cable
You can connect it to your TCP/IP network in order to monitor and control the
transmitter remotely. After you complete the installation procedures described in this
chapter, you can use a network management system (NMS) to monitor and control the
equipment.
To connect the equipment, you must use a shielded and grounded Category 5 Ethernet
cable.
To connect the Ethernet cable:
1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the transmitter’s RJ-45 Ethernet port and to your
TCP/IP network. The Ethernet port is on the built-in transponder of the transmitter.
2. Verify that the green Link LED is illuminated, indicating that there is a connection.
The Link LED is above the Ethernet port on the rear panel.
4.3.5 Connecting Power
The is available in an AC power model or DC power model. After mounting the
equipment in a rack, follow the power connection procedure below for the model that
you are installing.
The AC-powered equipment has two optional power supplies 110V and 220V:
110V power supply has two 110 VAC (50/60 Hz) input connector that requires input
voltage from 90 to 130 VAC, at 50 to 60 Hz single phase. The AC power plug is
located on the rear panel.
220V power supply has two 220 VAC (50/60 Hz) input connector that requires input
voltage from 150 to 265 VAC, at 50 to 60 Hz single phase. The AC power plug is
located on the rear panel.
The DC-powered equipment has two -48 VDC input connectors that require input
voltage from -36 to -72 VDC. The DC input connectors are located on the rear panel.
Turn on the power source. It takes about 60 seconds for all systems to operate. When
connect one power supply, the power indicator is yellow; when connect two power
supplies, the power indicator is green.
