Chapter 3_Overview
3.1 Product description
The RT5S, 1550 nm return transmitter - standard series, is
a high-density module with one or two lasers. It is designed
to plug into Technetix’s latest Advanced Intelligent Multi-
services Access (AIMA) platform - the AIMA3000. Technetix
RT5S is currently available in either a single or dual transmitter
conguration. It features a full-spectrum advanced return
path transmitter designed for multi-service operators (MSOs)
to increase network capacity to satisfy an ever-growing
subscriber demand for bandwidth. The module’s operating
wavelength conforms to ITU standards and it can work with
Technetix Erbium Doped Fiber Amplier Module (EDFA). It
provides the utmost exibility for MSOs during the transition
to all-digital.
The RT5S employs an advanced RF circuit design and is
available with either one or two high quality independent low-
chirp lasers. In addition, it has a cutting-edge optoelectronic
design for the delivery of high-quality transmissions, over
passive ber optic networks.
All RT5S 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
block diagram downloading of conguration les can be
done when using Technetix NMSE web-based management
system.
