Chapter 3_Overview
3.1Product description
The 1550 nm Forward Transmitter Module - Standard series
(FT5S) is designed to plug into Technetix latest generation
Advanced Intelligent Multi-services Access platform - the
AIMA3000.
Technetix AIMA3000 FT5S is available in single, dual, and
quad laser congurations. It features advanced forward
transmitters engineered for multi-service operators (MSOs)
to increase network capacity to satisfy an ever-growing
subscriber demand for more bandwidth. The module’s
operating wavelength conforms to ITU’s standards and works
with Technetix Erbium Doped Fibre Amplier Module (EDFA).
It allows for fullspectrum broadcast and narrowcast channels,
providing the utmost exibility for MSOs during the transition
to all digital.
The FT5S series employs an advanced RF circuit design and
laser with high-quality and low-chirp characteristics. The
module oers a consistent optical modulation index (OMI)
and ensures high-index optical power output. In addition, it is
a cutting-edge optoelectronic design for the delivery of high-
quality transmissions, in both analogue and digital formats
over passive bre optical networks.
All FT5S models can also be conveniently monitored and
controlled through a computer connected to one of the
Ethernet ports via the ASMM module. All module settings
are retained in non-volatile memory to ensure trouble-
free operation. Bulk updating, automatic uploading and
downloading of conguration les can be done when using
Technetix NMSE web-based management system.
