Fiber Optic Series PICO MACOM
Rev. 9/07
The Pico Macom PON-2 and 2R are state-of-the-art two-output outdoor optical CATV broadband nodes with a 48dBmV
spurious-free output level. The RF output level, across the 54~860 MHz spectrum, is easily maintained with an optical
input level as low as -6dBm, because of the sensitivity and low noise threshold of GaAs amplifier modules used in the
unit design. Internal to the unit are plug-in equalizer, attenuator and diplexer filters, making the unit adaptable to current and
future CATV broadband services. The PON-2 and 2R have two balanced RF output ports, each with a forward bandwidth
of 54~860 MHz and a (PON-2R option) reverse path of 5~42 MHz. A 48dBmV RF output level is available on each port for
distribution into a CATV network. Both ports are bi-directional, capable of passing RF signals from and into the nodes.
PON-2/2R 2 Way Outdoor Optical Nodes
•Rugged, weather-resistant aluminum die-cast case
enables outdoor operation over extreme tempera-
ture ranges.
• Forward band 54~860 MHz; return band
5~42 MHz (PON-2R option) allows bi-directional
flow of data from customer to the headend.
• Wide optical window (-6dBm to 3dBm) provides
excellent operation at low optical input levels.
• Two GaAs double-amplifier modules provide
48 dBmV RF output levels with excellent C/N
performance to 860 MHz.
• Power factor corrected 60 to 90 Vac cable (line)
powering provides efficient and smooth power
regulation.
• Plug-in attenuator and equalizer pads for excellent
broadband amplifier linearity and signal balancing.
•Internally integrated surge-resistant circuitry
protects hybrid amplifier modules against damage,
guaranteeing long-term operation.
•15 amperes current passing capacity and
15 amperes surge survivability.
