CATV Optical Transmitter 
Manufacturer
in China

Premlink plays a vital role in designing and manufacturing CATV optical transmitter.

Premlink – Premium CATV Optical Transmitter

CATV Optical Transmitter is a device that converts an RF digital TV signal or an analog TV signal at a frequency of 47 MHz-1002 MHz or 1218 MHz to an optical signal by using a high-performance DFB laser as a light source to produce a 1310 nm or 1550 nm wavelength for long-distance optical transmission.

Premlink CATV optical transmitters use our self-designed RF power automatic processing technology and advanced digital RF pre-distortion circuit, ensuring high machine performance and making them the top choice for large-scale HFC network deployment.

1310nm optical transmitter (direct modulation)

It is direct modulation type, however, usually people doest put “direct modulation” into it. The working wavelength is 1310nm as it’s light source, 1310nm transmitter regular that works for long years in the past.

1550nm direct modulation optical transmitter

DFB laser inside, works with wavelength 1550nm as it’s light source. At present, the most transmitter is 1550nm. As the network is more complex, 1310nm is for GPON that cannot exist 2nd 1310nm in one fiber. 

1550nm externally modulation optical transmitter

It has optical modulator inside that make the performance much better. It has one output and two output version for different applications. It is the ideal equipment to transmit optical signal for a long distance.

High Grade Materials in Use

CATV optical transmitter is an important device in optical communication systems, transforming electrical signals into optical signals for transmission via optical fibers. Its main components are a light source and a driving circuit, which work together to assure the quality and stability of the optical signal.

Premlink CATV Optical Transmitter has high quality materials in use. The key important light source- DFB laser, we adopt famous EMOCRE DFB lasers. and the high reliability- power supply module, we use the RUBYCON-Black Gate capacitor, which helps our CATV optical transmitter works for a very long time. 

More than 15 years improvement, the design becomes perfect. It is highly reliable by using imported high performance DFB laser. It can work long-term years without any stopping.

CATV Optical Transmitter Applications

CATV Optical Transmitter Applications

1. CATV Optical Backbone Network

When combined with a 1550nm external modulation optical transmitter, it was principally used in CATV optical backbone systems with transmission distances of up to 200 km.

2. Multipoint Distribution Network

When using 1310nm and 1550nm direct modulation optical transmitters, combine with CATV EDFA to create a distribution system. As the cost of external transmitters decreases, they become increasingly desirable for deployment in large multipoint distribution networks.
When a 1550nm direct modulation optical transmitter is used with several channels, it causes distortion in the receive signal. When applied with CATV EDFA, additional distortion may occur if the maximum launch power requirements are not reached. Non-linearity reduces performance. As the transmission distance increases and more channels are added, distortion may grow. The 1550nm external modulation CATV optic transmitter solves these issues.

Benfits of Premlink CATV Optical Transmitter

Improve Signal Quality

One of the most significant advantages of CATV optical transmitters is the ability to retain good signal quality. Unlike typical copper cables, which suffer signal deterioration over extended distances, optical fibers retain the transmission bright and clear.

Long Transmission Distance

CATV optical transmitters shine when it comes to distance. They can transmit signals over kilometers without losing quality. This is particularly useful for cable companies that need to serve vast areas without refreshing or boosting signal strength repeatedly.

Excellent Budget-Friendly

We made it into cost-effective from design to production. Its affordability provides the most efficient and practical use of the budget that is likely to support your brand promotion and projects.
