FIBER OPTICS
The 7840A DOCSIS 3.1 Low Noise CATV Optical Receiver is a singlemode fiber pigtailed
module featuring a low-noise, impedance-matched broadband photodiode and RF
amplification.
The device receives optical analog and/or digital signals for a range of video broadcast
options, and delivers the corresponding RF electrical output. The wide bandwidth supports
the delivery of up to 110 CATV analog signals or a combination of analog and digital
channels (80/30 for example), including HDTV broadcast.
The 7840A DOCSIS 3.1 exhibits excellent distortion performance with values well above
standards over the entire bandwidth and case temperature specifications (40 MHz – 1200
MHz, -30 °C to +85 °C).
Moreover, the proprietary impedance-match circuitry between the photodetector and RF
amplification stages resolves a number of OEM design obstacles with very low noise
performance value, typically less than 4.5 pA/√Hz.
The 7840A DOCSIS 3.1 Low Noise CATV optical receiver can be used in both 1310 nm
and 1550 nm applications being useful at different points of a given network.
The 7840A DOCSIS 3.1 is compliant with all criteria of the Restriction of the Use of
Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS) guidelines
2002/95/EC.
