P r oduct Description
Harmonic’s METROLink HLD 7805 is a family of high
performance DFB laser transmitter modules designed for forward
path narrowcasting applications. The DFB laser’s wavelength is
stabilized and aligned to one of eight wavelengths on the ITU grid
with 200 GHz (1.6 nm) spacing. Using Dense Wavelength Division
Multiplexing (DWDM), digital narrowcast services can be carried
on a single fiber and targetted by wavelength. The HLD 7805
transmitters can operate alone in local distribution and
narrowcasting applications or in combination with Harmonics
METROLink family of gain flattened optical amplifers, wavelength
selected broadcast transmitters and multiplexers and de-
multiplexers for complete system solutions.
The HLD 7805 transmitter modules are compact, intelligent and
easily configurable by means of the user-friendly interface, allowing
for set-up in minutes. The transmitters can be set up via the HLP
4200WD platform front panel menu, the module front panel
function slide switch and set-up adjustment, or via the
NETWatchElement Management System.
Continuous high performance and reliability of the transmitters are
assured by a microprocessor and associated firmware which control
and monitor all vital functions. Monitored functions include laser
temperature and operating point, optical power, module
temperature and composite RF drive level.
The optical components within the HLD 7805 transmitter module
have been designed for ease-of-use and maintenance. The module
features an optical connector on a removable plate on the back of
the unit, facilitating simple cleaning and maintenance.
A d v a n t a g e s
The innovative design of the HLD 7805 transmitter and
Harmonic’s complete line of METROLink products offer many
advantages to address the needs of today and tomorrow, making it
the industry’s leading solution for narrowcasting applications:
Multiple wavelengths combined on a single fiber result in
efficient fiber usage and cost and space savings.
The passive optical network (PON)architecture increases
system reliability, reduces downtime and minimizes hub space.
Shares common platform with the METROLink gain flattened
EDFA, return path transmitter and wavelength selecte broadcast
transmitter.
Single node receiver detects analog broadcast and digital
narrowcast on separate wavelengths.
Integrated RF pre-amplifier reduces transmitter drive level
requirements.
Integrated element management with SNMP compatibility.
Microprocessor control of all key parameters provides consistent
and optimum product performance and monitoring.
860 MHz bandwidth provides flexibility in RF channel
allocation.
Simple “plug and play” operation reduces time and cost
of installation.
