Overview
Finisar’s XFP-RF transmitter is a small form factor hot-pluggable optical module
that is compliant with interface specifications developed by the Society of Cable
Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE). It can be fully loaded with analog carriers from
50 MHz to 3000 MHz in order to enable operators to effectively utilize a broad range of
frequencies when designing distributed antenna systems and RF Over Fiber networks.
The small XFP module significantly reduces power consumption and increases density for
downstream transmitters.
The transmitter wavelength can be tuned to any of the 43 different Dense Wavelength
Division Multiplexing (DWDM) wavelengths across the entire C-band in less than 500
ms. This increases operational efficiencies in deploying DWDM networks and reduces
inventory of transmitters at different fixed wavelengths. Wavelength tunability also opens
the possibility of novel HFC architectures that can dynamically route services and increase
bandwidth capacity in the cable operator’s access network.
Key Advantages
2x to 4x density improvement over current transmitter solutions
At least 50% less power consumption per transmitter
Enables future HFC architectures to route services dynamically by changing the
wavelength of the transmitter
Enables pluggable optics to be utilized directly in next-generation Cable Modem
Termination Systems and QAM modulators
