Fiber Optic Series PICO MACOM
Rev. 10/07
The Pico Macom PRR series optical return receivers are densely populated receiver units that take an optical input from a
return transmitter and convert it to a 5~200MHz RF signal. Designed to meet CATV applications, each PRR Series receiver
has a wide (-2dBm to 0dBm) optical input range that enables it to maintain a high-output RF level with negligible distortion.
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 downstream video, data, telephony and Internet traffic in an
HFC broadband environment.
PRRSeries Optical Return Receivers
•Available in 1, 2 and 4-receiver configurations.
•  Optical power monitoring.
• 5~200MHz return bandwidth for CATV return path.
•  High 45dBmV RF output at an optical wavelength of
1310/1550nm provides excellent C/N ratio.
• -20dB RF system test point to monitor the RF output of
the receiver.
•  Low power consumption.
•  Wide optical window of -2dBm to 0dBm for improved
system performance.
