CAUTION: There are invisible laser emissions from Fiber 

output when the laser is active! It would be dangerous 

to point this port toward the human body, especially 

eyes, when equipment has power running through it!

Description:

Features:

• 

1218 MHz low-noise GaAs amplifier

• 

28 dBmV RF output at -1 dBm optical input

• 

High linearity photodiode

• 

Die-cast aluminum housing for indoor installation

2.1  Product Application & Description

Application:

The 

FTTB-1218-1W (One-Way Indoor Optical Node) 

converts the optical signal received from the headend into a +28 dBmV 

RF output with a -1 dBm optical input. The compact housing includes an optical receiver and wide bandwidth RF amplifier 

having a frequency range of 54-1218 MHz.

The 

FTTB-1218-1W

 node has one optical input, one RF output, one -20 dB RF test port, and one 12 VDC power socket. 

Optical input status of the node can be easily verified by the tri-color LED indicator.
Additionally, the node also features a calibrated DC test point for accurately determining the received optical input level 

with a common DC voltmeter, eliminating the need for a fiber power meter.

• 

Tri-color LED indicating optical input status

• 

Optical input power DC test point

• 

-20 dB RF test port

• 

Convenient 12 VDC powering
