The Motorola SG4000 1 GHz modular optical node
supports the migration from traditional Hybrid Fiber
Coax (HFC) networks to more advanced Fiber Deep
architectures. The SG4-OA* series of optical
amplifiers is designed exclusively for the SG4000
optical node, and occupies a single unused RF
module location. The SG4-OA* is a high-power,
Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) that allows
operators to use 1550 nm Dense Wave Division
Multiplex (DWDM) transmitters over longer
distances.
With an adjustable output and three nominal powers
(13 dBm, 16 dBm, and 19 dBm), the SG4-OA*
accommodates a variety of link budgets. The
SG4-OA* operates from –40 °C to 60 °C, providing a
practical and cost-effective alternative to remote
hubs or Optical Transport Network (OTN) terminals.
Equipped with four operating modes, the SG4-OA*
satisfies a wide range of system design
requirements. The SG4-OA* is gain-flattened for
optimum performance in broadcast, narrowcast, or
return path designs.
The SG4-OA* front panel provides SC/APC or E2000
bulkhead fittings for optical input and output,
up/mode and down/enable switches, LED status
indicators for the various operating modes, and
input and output test points.
A new high-power EDFA module enables advanced architecture solutions for
Motorola's 1 GHz SG4000 modular node.
