Fiber Optic Series PICO MACOM
Rev. 9/07
The Pico Macom model PN-1 is a cost-effective and fully featured indoor optical node specifically designed for the delivery
of analog and digital video, high-speed data and telephony signals and future broadband services into homes. This unit
has diverse applications in MDU, industrial, government and educational institutions for broadband signal distribution
over hybrid optical networks. The optical core employed in the unit design is a 1310/1550nm optical receiver with a wide
optical input window of -6 to 3dBm for superb signal transmission. The PN-1 has an integrated optical attenuator and equal-
izer compensation circuit to guarantee excellent broadband signal delivery thereby eliminating signal overload distortions RF
output. The PN-1 employs GaAs amplifier technology for excellent low and high frequency RF performance and spurious-free
output. The unit is powered with a 120/240Vac internal power supply.
PN-1 Indoor Optical Node
•Rugged, 7˝ x 4˝ x 3˝ precision aluminum die-cast case
guarantees excellent mechanical integrity, ease of instal-
lation and shielding effectiveness.
• Bi-directional operation with forward bandwidth from
54~860MHz (analog and digital) and reverse bandwidth
from 5~42MHz.
• Wide optical window (-6dBm to 3dBm) provides excel-
lent operation at low optical input levels.
• Full 25dBmV typical RF output for superior C/N
performance.
• Return loss guarantees excellent impedance match
across the frequency band with minimal reflection and
cross coupling between ports.
• Input and output -20dB F-connector test points for
monitoring RF signals to prevent system overload.
PN-1 Indoor Optical Node
• Calibrated 1V/mW optical input into the receiver
and optical level out of the transmitter.
• Optical power monitoring for optimal optical input
and output power range indication.
•Equipped with internal 80~130 Vac power supply
with filter to eliminate hum modulation.
• Integrated high linearity optical receiver and
transmitter for two-way operation.
