INTRODUCTION
INSTALLATION / ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
The Olson Technology OTOT-1000C is a high performance indoor wideband laser
transmitter with an RF passband of 48 to 1,000MHz. The OTOT-1000C also offers
enhanced CATV performance. These transmitters are intended for indoor applications.
They combine the transmitter and universal AC power supply in one compact housing
that has a footprint of 6.5" x 5.5" x 1.4”. The optical output power and bandwidth of each
transmitter is as follows:
OTOT-1000C-3
+3dBm (2mW) Optical Output Power
OTOT-1000C-6
+6dBm
OTOT-1000C-8
+8dBm
OTOT-1000C-9
+9dBm
OTOT-1000C-10
+10dBm
OTOT-1000C-12
+12dBm
OTOT-1000C-13
+13dBm
OTOT-1000C-14
+14dBm
OTOT-1000C-15
+15dBm
The transmitter has an internal universal power supply that operates from 90 to 240V
at 50 or 60 Hz and consumes about 10 Watts.
The OTOT-1000C is an ideal forward signal source for the OTPN-2000C High
Sensitivity Indoor Node and will allow for an optical path loss of 21dB or more. Test
points are provided for laser output power and current to allow for historical review of
operating parameters. An RF test point is provided to allow proper setup and for
historical review. Positive cooling is provided by means of a small, high-MTBF fan,
which may be replaced in the field without interrupting the operation of the unit. The
OTOT-1000C has flanges on the bottom to allow mounting it to a flat surface. The
available OTLL-RMKIT-1 will allow mounting up to three of these units in a standard 19"
rack.
The OTOT-1000C transmitters are specified to operate from -10°C to +55°C. They
usually do not require an air-conditioned environment. They should be mounted in an
adequately ventilated area. Like all electronic equipment, it will generally have a
(4mW) Optical Output Power
(6mW) Optical Output Power
