AT&T SLW2500 Installation and Operation Manual
Return Path
To meet future return-path requirements, you can upgrade the SLW2500 with various optical
transmitters to accommodate data and video signal transmission.
Signal levels are adjusted in the return path using model JXP-* attenuator pads. Units are
typically shipped with a JXP-6 (6 dB) attenuator pad at the input of the transmitter.
Optical Return Transmitters
Three optical return transmitters are available to meet the needs of most return applications.
The three optical return transmitters and their features are:
SG2-DFBT/*
(standard)
Uses an uncooled, isolated DFB laser operating at 1 mW for improved link performance. Carries a full 35 MHz of
digital data or up to two video channels.
SG2-DFBT/3
(optional)
Uses an uncooled, isolated DFB laser operating at 2 mW for improved link performance. Carries a full 35 MHz of
digital data or up to two video channels.
SG2-DRT
(optional)
Uses a digitally modulated laser housed in a module with an RF input port and analog-to-digital conversion
functionality.
All transmitters include thermal compensation circuitry to minimize the change in received
optical and RF signal level at the headend as the node temperature varies. An integrated optical
bulkhead connector and module status indicators enhance fiber management and reduce
troubleshooting time.
