Fiber Optic Series PICO MACOM
Rev. 9/07
The Pico Macom models PFR-2 and PFR-4 professional series fiber optic receivers take an optical source from a forward trans-
mitter in the frequency range of 54~860MHz and convert to RF signals. The PFR series has one optical input and is available
in two and four-output versions. Employing state-of-the-art GaAs amplifier design, the PFR-2 and PFR-4 operate at a low
optical window with improved composite distortion performance. These optical receivers utilize a new low noise, impedance
matched, high efficiency 1310/1550nm broadband photodiode and advanced RF amplification circuitry to facilitate carriage of
critical upstream video, data, telephony and Internet traffic in an HFC broadband environment.
PFRSeries Optical Forward Receivers
•Available in 2 and 4 RF output configurations.
•Optical power monitoring.
•54~860MHz bandwidth allows operation for current and
future CATV broadband services.
•Operates at a high 45dBmV RF output at an optical
wavelength of 1310/1550nm, providing excellent C/N ratio.
•-20dB RF test point for convenient RF system monitoring.
•Low power consumption.
•Wide optical window -3dBm to 3dBm for improved system
performance.
•Adjustable equalization.
