The Mini Indoor Receiver Passive Node is a compact, unpowered device that combines a passive optical splitter with an integrated receiving element. It is designed to terminate a downstream optical signal, perform a basic level of optical-to-electrical conversion passively, and provide a low-level RF output. Its key advantages are its simplicity, lack of need for external power, small form factor, and low cost. This device is typically used in point-to-multipoint RFoG (RF over Glass) architectures and certain FTTH (Fiber-to-the-Home) setups, often located at the customer premises to provide a basic signal interface for a single subscriber unit.
Characteristics - Boosts weak optical signals using Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) technology for long-distance transmission
- Supports 1550nm band, ideal for CATV and broadband applications
- Minimizes signal distortion to maintain high-quality video/audio output
- Automatic Power Control (APC), Stabilizes output power dynamically to prevent signal fluctuations
- Delivers up to +20dBm or higher for multi-user distribution
- Simple installation with standard SC/APC or FC/APC connectors
- Small form factor with low power consumption for household use
