3 Overview
3.1 Product Description
The 1550 nm Forward Transmitter - Performance (FT5P) is designed to plug into Technetix latest Advanced Intelligent Multi-
services Access platform (AIMA3000).
This series of modules includes Monolithic Distributed Bragg Reflector (DBR) laser with a Silicon Optical Amplifier and an
Indium- Phosphide (InP) Mach-Zehnder Modulator provide AIMA with a cost-eective system for 1550 nm transmissions for
DWDM applications when used for optical ITU frequency grids.
Technetix AIMA3000 FT5P series transmitter is designed for multi-service operators (MSOs) to increase network
capacity to satisfy an ever-growing subscriber demand for more bandwidth. The FT5P can be used with Erbium Doped
Fibre Amplifiers (EDFA) in short haul Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) applications and medium haul set-ups with a high RF
performance of up to 60 km.
All FT5P models can also be conveniently monitored and controlled through a computer connected to one of the Ethernet
ports or an Android mobile device via the ASMM module. All module settings are retained in non-volatile memory to
ensure trouble-free operation. Bulk updating, automatic uploading and downloading of configuration files can be done
when using Technetix NMSE web-based management system.
