Fiber-optic transmitter

Nov 1st, 1997

Fiber-optic transmitter

The maxlink, a high-power 1550-nm transmitter, is available in two models: the 750-MHz bandwidth hlt 7709 and the 870-MHz hlt 7809. The transmitters provide optical output power to 9 dBm from each of the dual complementary outputs. Total power output is 12 dBm, which allows dense distribution without an optical amplifier. Both models come with integrated netwatch element-management functionality for network reliability and control.
