SON Series Optical Node

Customized Specifications Available!!!
The SON Series Optical Node is a high performance, four output CATV optical node, offering the capability of greater than +50 dBmV output levels. This node benefits the system operator by extending overall path length, maximizing equipment usage, and reducing the number of network elements. Full RF output can be maintained with an optical input as low as -8 dBm. With system performance to 1.2Ghz, the SON Series Optical Node provides the idea platform for support of the evolving technologies and services in today¡¦s advanced HFC and PON networks. The SON Series Optical Node offers protection configurations which are ideal for critical analog and digital television, telephony, and data services. Utilizing extensive modular design with easy in ¡Vfield replacement , the SON Series Optical Node can meet any advanced broadband network requirement.
