1.2 Description
The SPL 7110-Exx transmitter is a compact plug-in module designed for use in the Harmonic
HLP 4200 and 4800 equipment platform. An HMC 4001 module carrier is needed to mount
the transmitter in the platform. Harmonic has optimized the SUPRALink family of transmitter
modules for high-performance transmission of RF broadband information over optical fiber
networks.
The SPL 7110-Exx has the following key features:
■
Selection of eight DWDM wavelengths
■
Transmission bandwidth from 50 to 1003 MHz
■
Electronic dispersion compensation for high channel loads with minimal fiber-induced,
second-order distortion
■
Compensation up to 40 km, with up to 950 MHz total RF load
■
SPL7110S-EXX is optimized for NTSC channel loading: 78 NTSC (System M) analog
channels plus 75 channels of QAM256 digital loading
■
SPL7110C-EXX is optimized for Cenelec channel loading: 41 Cenelec analog channels
plus 56 channels of QAM256 digital loading
■
Internal monitoring and control using 32-bit microprocessor
■
Local control of operating parameters—provided by the HLP 4200 and 4800 platform
■
Remote control and monitoring—provided by NETWatch Site Controller
■
Autosetup feature that adjusts RF pad for optimum modulation performance
■
Automatic gain control and manual gain control modes of operation
