The I-Type Medallion 6000 Series

The I-Type Medallion 6000 series is a family of state-of-the-art high-performance 1550 nm

externally-modulated CATV fiber optic transmitters optimized for International network

applications that employ an 85 MHz forward / reverse path split frequency. Packaged in a

convenient 1 RU housing, this line of optical transmitters couples high optical output power,

up to 10.0 dBm, with low optical linewidth resulting in unmatched performance. The optical

modulator, combined with proprietary pre-distortion circuitry, provides superior CTB and

CSO performance with adjustable SBS suppression levels of greater than 19 dBm.

The I-Type transmitter’s exceptional performance is enabled by EMCORE’s proprietary

high power, narrow linewidth CW (Continuous Wave) laser technology. When deployed

with one or more EMCORE optical amplifiers, transmissions of 150 km can be achieved.

The feature-rich WEB GUI and SNMP interface bring a whole suite of advanced operator

monitoring and configuration options to the platform, allowing for secure, simplified and

future-ready functionality for the next generation of intelligent networks.

Advanced features such as built-in field adjustable SBS control allow these transmitters to

be quickly optimized in the field for any link or application without the need to procure

specifically tuned transmitters.

I-Type transmitters are specially designed and optimized to support fiber optic links of up to

150 km for the international marketplace and other markets with similar requirements.

Monitoring and configuration is supported via a convenient front panel display, an RS-232

port, and an Ethernet port with SNMP, Telnet, and Web GUI. The platform is mechanically

designed for flexibility and space efficiency including universal rack-mount features,

modular front panel design, and optional front and rear port placement. Dual redundant

field-replaceable fans and power supplies are standard.
