Aurora AT3510 Analog DWDM Narrowcast Transmitters (1GHz)

The AT3510 series high performance Analog Narrowcast Transmitters are a key element of Aurora Network's Passive HFC architecture and are designed for Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) applications for forward path transmission of narrowcast digital services. Each transmitter's wavelength is specified as one of 40 wavelengths on the 100 GHz DWDM ITU grid (ITU-T G.694.1). AT3510G transmitters incorporate advanced predistortion circuitry to enable transmission of up to 16 or 32 QAM modulated channels per wavelength. Transmitter output power is 10 dBm for maximum network performance and application flexibility.

The unique mid-plane packaging of the AT3510G features both a compact one-module-width design and an integrated ''back plate'' multiplexer which eliminates the need for a separate platform or shelf for a typically packaged multiplexer.

This high density packaging enables network operators to install up to 14 transmitters per 3RU chassis, all of which can be monitored remotely or locally from the power supply module. The compact design minimizes rack space requirements in headends or hubs and enhances deployment of traditional HFC, passive HFC and fiber to the home (FTTH) networks.
