Product Overview
PL160A-5 Indoor WDM FTTH mini node (optical receiver) is designed for RF overlay on XGSPON & GPON networks. It has built-in Pin Diode+ FWDM component, which are able to divide mixed wavelengths received into two groups. One is 1550nm wavelength optical signal that is converted it to RF signal to get TV picture, while the other are 1310/1490nm or/and 1270/1570nm for internet broadband access and VoIP service. PL160A-5 WDM FTTH mini node is placstic housing for indoor using.

Technical FAQ: PL160A-5 FTTH Mini Node
Q1: Why choose this ftth mini node for XGSPON network upgrades?
A: As networks transition to 10G-PON, standard WDM nodes often lack the isolation for the 1577nm wavelength. The PL160A-5 ftth mini node is specifically engineered to pass XGSPON+GPON signals to the ONU while extracting 1550nm CATV, making it a future-proof investment for RF overlay.
Q2: Can I adjust the RF output level during installation?
A: Yes. This unit features an integrated adjustable attenuator. This allows technicians to fine-tune the signal strength to match the subscriber’s home coaxial network, ensuring optimal performance for all connected TV sets.
Q3: Is the PL160A-5 suitable for all-in-one media boxes?
A: Absolutely. With its compact 94x60x24mm footprint and lightweight plastic housing, it is designed to fit into tight indoor environments like wall-mount media cabinets or behind-the-TV setups.
