Description

14dBm Optical Transmitter, APC – High-Power Fiber Signal Transmission for Long-Distance Applications

The 14 Dbm Optical Transmitter connector is a robust, high-output optical communication device designed for delivering strong, high-quality signals over long distances via single-mode fiber. Engineered for demanding applications such as CATV, FTTH, and broadband networks, this optical transmitter ensures superior performance with minimal signal loss and high stability.

With its advanced DFB (Distributed Feedback) laser technology and a 14dBm optical output, this transmitter is ideal for network operators, broadcasters, ISPs, and enterprises that require reliable long-range optical signal delivery. The APC (Angled Physical Contact) connector further enhances performance by significantly reducing signal reflections and ensuring long-term transmission integrity.


Product Overview

The 14dBm Optical Transmitter is built for high-performance networking environments where extended distance and consistent signal quality are crucial. Operating at 1310nm or 1550nm wavelength (depending on model), it is optimized for long-haul single-mode fiber applications. Its APC interface minimizes back reflections that can interfere with transmission, making it especially suitable for analog video, digital TV, and internet services.

This transmitter is available in a standard 1U or 2U rack-mounted format, suitable for headend installations and data centers. It integrates smart temperature control systems and a durable DFB laser, providing stable, continuous operation even in demanding conditions.


Key Features

  • 14dBm Optical Output Power
    Delivers high optical signal power, enabling transmission over long distances (up to 80–100 km with appropriate receivers).

  • APC Connector Interface
    Angled Physical Contact connector helps prevent back reflections, thereby maintaining high signal quality and laser protection.

  • Advanced DFB Laser
    Built-in Distributed Feedback laser offers high spectral purity, low noise, and stable performance across a wide temperature range.

  • Wide Wavelength Options
    Supports 1310nm or 1550nm wavelengths based on application requirements, with low dispersion and attenuation over single-mode fiber.

  • Excellent RF Linearity and Low Distortion
    Perfect for analog and digital signal applications such as TV broadcasting and IP-based data transmission.

  • Smart Cooling & Protection Circuitry
    Integrated temperature-controlled cooling fans, voltage protection, and auto shut-off features ensure device safety and durability.

  • Built-in Monitoring Interface (Optional)
    LCD panel or SNMP module for real-time monitoring of output power, temperature, and alarm status.
