The F-MININODE is an HFC return path transmitter and RF optical reciever for use in fiber to the home applications. The unit has 45-870MHz RF outputs for digital TV as well as an optional optical transmitter for the 5-45MHz cable modem return path. We carry two fiber units as well as WDM single fiber units. The F-MININODE has many applications in Hybrid Fiber Coax systems and for Fiber to the home applications. This is a compact and highly reliable unit for use with analog, digital video, and bi-directional data transmission in HFC networks.
Thor has a dedicated team for FTTx applications. Every Fiber Optic cable system is different. We can provide a wide variety of OLT and ONU units to meet your FTTx and GPON needs. Contact a sales engineer today for help in determining what equipment is needed for your fiber optic system.
• Excellent linearity and flatness
• Extremely good return loss
• Compact construction, lower power consumption
• WDM option to achieve single fiber bi-directional transmission
• Multi-communications transmitting wavelength and power optional
IMPORTANT NOTE*** (it is very important to interface our unit with SC/APC - Angle Polished Connector to avoid any light reflections.
If your fiber is terminated with the SC, ST, FC /PC flat connector, you need to use an optical jumper from PC type to SC/APC for proper conversion.
• F-MININODE-1RT Receiver and Return Path Transmitter over single fiber
• F-MININODE-2RT Receiver and Return Path Transmitter over 2 fibers
