EX-XFP-RF | Tunable Pluggable XFP for HFC

Exoptronics XFP-RF transmitter is a small form factor hot-pluggable optical module that is compliant with interface specifications developed by the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE). It is fully loaded with digital QAM channels from 50 MHz to 1218 MHz to enable cable operators to more effectively segment their serving groups and offer more services to their subscribers. The small XFP module significantly reduces power consumption and increases density for downstream transmitters. It can be integrated into Hybrid Fiber Coaxial (HFC) and converged access platform (CCAP). The transmitter wavelength tuned up to cover the Dense Wavelength Division multiplexing (DWDM) wavelengths across the entire C-band. This increases operational efficiencies in deploying DWDM networks and reduces inventory of transmitters at different fixed wavelengths. Wavelength tunability also opens the possibility of novel HFC architectures that can dynamically route services and increase bandwidth capacity in the cable operator access network.
