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

Low Cost RF Fiber Break system for high security RF feeds. For short distance transport over fiber and for RF security to prevent any RF leaks. Prevents Coax from being used to transmit data in the return direction, using a Fiber Break Kit eliminates any possibility of your copper transmission returning on RF. Kit includes Transmitter, Fiber Jumper, and mini-Receiver.
Compact CATV RF receiver for use with Thor F-RF transmitter system. Fiber Input -CATV RF 45-870Mhz output
