CT-205 Optical Receiver – Reliable Signal Reception for High-Performance Networks
The CT-205 Optical Receiver is a high-performance optical receiver node designed to deliver exceptional signal quality and reliability for fiber optic networks. Serving as a critical component in fiber-to-the-home (FTTH), cable television (CATV), broadband internet, and other fiber-based services, the CT-205 ensures efficient optical-to-RF signal conversion with minimum loss and distortion.
With its robust features, the CT-205 Optical Receiver is ideally suited for both residential and commercial network applications. Whether you’re upgrading existing infrastructure or deploying a new network, the CT-205 offers unmatched flexibility, performance, and ease of use.
Key Features of CT-205 Optical Receiver
1. High Sensitivity and Wide Optical Input Range
The CT-205 is designed to handle a wide optical input range of -9 dBm to +2 dBm, ensuring it can reliably receive optical signals even in challenging network conditions. This broad input range provides flexibility and ensures the receiver performs well in both high-traffic and long-distance optical networks.
2. Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
Equipped with automatic gain control (AGC) technology, the CT-205 automatically adjusts the RF output level based on fluctuations in optical input power. This feature ensures that users always receive a consistent and stable signal, even when there are variations in the incoming optical signal strength.
3. Dual RF Outputs
The CT-205 Optical Receiver is equipped with dual RF outputs, allowing multiple devices or locations to be serviced from a single receiver. This is especially useful in environments like multi-dwelling units (MDUs), apartment buildings, and commercial spaces, where multiple endpoints need to access the optical signal simultaneously.
4. Broad Frequency Range
With a frequency range spanning from 47 MHz to 1000 MHz, the CT-205 supports both standard CATV services as well as broadband data transmission. This flexibility ensures that the receiver can be used across various applications, from basic TV services to high-speed internet and data distribution.
5. Compact and Robust Design
The CT-205 is housed in a compact, durable enclosure, making it easy to install in both residential and commercial settings. Its rugged design allows it to operate reliably in diverse environmental conditions, from temperature extremes to areas with high humidity or dust.
6. Easy Monitoring with LED Indicators
The CT-205 features LED indicators that provide real-time feedback on the power, optical signal status, and output RF signals. These indicators simplify installation and troubleshooting, ensuring quick diagnosis and minimal downtime.
Applications of CT-205 Optical Receiver
1. Fiber to the Home (FTTH)
The CT-205 plays a vital role in FTTH networks, where it converts optical signals into RF signals for end-user devices like televisions, broadband routers, and set-top boxes. Its wide optical input range and AGC ensure that even long-distance connections maintain excellent signal quality.
2. Cable Television (CATV)
The CT-205 is widely used in CATV systems, offering a stable and high-quality signal conversion for analog and digital TV services. With its high RF output level and dual RF outputs, it can serve multiple TVs or outlets from a single optical input.
3. Broadband Internet Networks
In broadband networks, the CT-205 ensures that the incoming optical signal is converted to the correct RF or Ethernet signal for internet modems, routers, and other networking equipment. This conversion is essential for delivering high-speed internet services to homes and businesses.
4. Small to Medium-Sized Installations
The CT-205 is ideal for small and medium-sized network installations, such as apartment buildings, small offices, or rural areas. With its ability to power multiple devices from a single node, it reduces the need for multiple receivers, simplifying installation and maintenance.
