Keopsys Launches CATV Amplifier

PITTSTOWN, N.J. -- Keopsys is proud to announce the launch of its new generation of high power optical fibre amplifiers based on uncooled pumping technology intended for CATV applications. An output power of 31dBm can be delivered via up to 16 fiber ports with an excellent port to port uniformity, allowing cable television providers to service larger networks with substantial cost savings per subscriber. CATV amplifiers with integrated power splitters and configured with 8 x 20dBm output ports or 16 x 17dBm output ports are readily available for system deployment.

These compact - 200x120x25mm3 - and economical optical amplifier designs are based on the use of efficient double clad fibres. Thanks to the use of uncooled pump lasers these OEM devices offer one of the best power consumptions on the market over an extended operating temperature range, and provide both increased wall plug efficiency and reduced thermal management. In addition, our carefully designed optical amplifier topology enables low noise figure (NF) values, while preserving the quality of the analog signal transmission .

These OEM modules include embedded electronics with full control of the optical amplifier in automatic current control (ACC) and automatic power control (APC) modes. An RS232 computer interface and analog monitoring outputs are offered as standard features.

Products with standard specifications are available off-the-shelf, while customized versions can be engineered rapidly for your particular systems’ requirements.
