Technical FAQ: PL2000H CATV Optical Amplifier
Q1: What makes the PL2000H “Back Reflection” function unique?
A: Unlike standard EDFAs, the PL2000H monitors optical return loss in real-time. If a connector is damaged or disconnected, the system triggers an alarm to protect the high-power pump laser from back-reflection damage, significantly extending device lifespan.
Q2: Can I manage the amplifier from a Linux or Mac system?
A: Yes. The PL2000H features a built-in universal Web browser interface. Because it is web-based, you can manage and check all operational statuses from any OS (Windows, Linux, macOS) using a standard web browser without installing additional drivers.
Q3: What is the maximum output power per port for the 128-port version?
A: The PL2000H can reach a total output power of ≤40dBm. For a 128-port configuration, typical output power is optimized for RF Overlay requirements, ensuring high CNR and low distortion across all ports.
Q4: Does this CATV amplifier support SNMP for network integration?
A: Absolutely. It supports SNMP v1/v2c, allowing seamless integration into your existing Network Management System (NMS). It also features a color touchscreen LCD for local on-site monitoring.
Q5: Is the power supply redundant?
A: Yes. The PL2000H supports dual hot-pluggable power supplies (AC 95~264V or DC 36~72V). In the event of a power module failure, the secondary module takes over automatically to ensure 24/7 uninterrupted service.
Integrating CATV with GPON，XGSPON or 50GPON?
If your network requires Triple Play service by combining CATV with GPON, XGSPON or 50GPON signals (1310/1490/1270/1577nm…..), we recommend our PON WDM EDFA Series
with integrated combiners for seamless OLT integration and simplified FTTx deployment.
