Electroline’s Multiple Dwelling Units (MDU) solutions are available in various configurations that drop easily into FTTH, RF over Glass (RFoG), and traditional HFC architectures. The EDX optical min-node product line includes configurations available to service the following networks:
HFC – return lasers available in CWDM, 1550nm, 1310nm (DFB or FP)
GPON & other FTTP – Input fiber carries 4 wavelengths: 1550nm & 1490nm downstream, with 1590nm & 1310nm return. Second fiber connection after triplexer routes 1310nm & 1490nm to the data OLT.
RFoG (RF over Glass) – 1590nm or 1310nm RF return laser carries return traffic from cable modem and STB.
With the combination of EDX optical nodes and the SuperCAT Addressable product line, MDUs serviced by data PONs can now have single or multi-tier video control to each apartment. (see Addressable Taps).
The EDX series Mini nodes are designed to offer optical node application flexibility in an extremely compact housing. They are also ideal for advanced fiber-to-the-building and FTTH applications for CATV and telephony networks. The EDX series nodes provide a high RF output level up to 1GHz (1003MHz) which will reduce or eliminate the need for post-node amplifiers in the network. These mini-nodes have the unique combination of high output (50dBmV), 1GHz operation, and wide selection of return lasers including CWDM to overcome fiber bottlenecks.
The EDX series Mini nodes are ideal for use in high-density applications: MDUs, and commercial complexes such as universities, hospitals, and business parks. The mini node boasts a 50 dBmV output to handle any size establishment. Return transmitters can be added and ordered as either 1310nm or 1550nm depending on the system requirements. Optional WDM technology allows two-way operation on a single fiber. CWDM return transmitters are offered to combine multiple two-way nodes on a single fiber for ultimate fiber utilization, up to 8 buildings on a single fiber.
