Model 2808
110 Channel CATV Optical Receiver
DATASHEET | JANUARY 2012
FIBER OPTICS
Features
Wide Bandwidth of 40 to 860 MHz
Accommodates up to 110 Channels on
All Models.
Provides Excellent Picture Quality with a
CNR up to 54.5 dB, CSO of -63 dBc,
and CTB of -66 dBc.
RF Output up to +28 dBmV Allows a
Greater Number of Drops or Splits.
Wide Optical Input Range of -8 dBm to
+4.5 dBm Permits the Use of a Lower
Power Transmitter, Reducing System
Cost.
Built-in, Universal AC Power Supply
Frees System User from Bulky Wall-
Mount AC Adapters.
The Model 2808 110 Channel VSB/AM Fiber Optic Receiver provides CATV distribution
headend operators with an extensive array of features that offer a low-cost solution to
increase system performance. The receiver provides an RF output of +28 dBmV allowing
multiple RF splits without the use of an external RF amplifier. The Model 2808 is equipped
with a manual gain control that allows the user to adjust the RF output level for optimum
performance. Additionally, the receiver’s ability to operate over a wide optical input range of
-8 to +4.5 dBm allows for a variety of system designs without degrading performance. The
Model 2808 can transport up to 110 CATV channels using the entire high-frequency
bandwidth, or alternatively, it can transport up to 80 channels of standard analog CATV
signals while utilizing the remaining high-frequency bandwidth to transport 30 digital QAM
channels. The receiver includes a universal AC power supply, freeing the user from a bulky
wall-mount AC adapter. The streamline design of the Model 2808 offers the flexibility and
performance demanded by today’s broadband professional.
