1550nm FTTH Passive Optical Receiver – Fibre to RF Converter

Tuoying RX-16 Passive Optical Receiver – Fibre-Optic to RF Signal Conversion

The Tuoying RX-16 1550nm Passive Optical Receiver is a compact, high-performance analogue optical receiver designed for FTTH (Fibre to the Home) and Cable TV (CATV) networks. It seamlessly converts incoming optical signals to electrical RF signals, making it an essential component for modern broadband and cable distribution systems — no external power supply required.

Key Features

• Passive Design: No power supply needed — simple, reliable, and cost-effective for last-mile fibre installations.
• Wide Frequency Range: Operates across 45–1000 MHz, supporting a full range of analogue and digital cable TV channels.
• 1550nm Wavelength: Optimised for standard single-mode fibre FTTH networks at 1550nm.
• Optical Receive Range: –10 to +2 dBm input optical power, ensuring stable performance across varying signal levels.
• High Output Level: Delivers a typical output of 40 dBµV at Popt = –10 dBm / 550 MHz.
• Excellent Flatness: Frequency response flatness ≤1 dB across the full 45–1000 MHz band.
• Compact Form Factor: Ultra-small 35 × 13.2 × 14.2 mm body fits neatly into enclosures and distribution boxes.
• SC/APC Input Connector: Industry-standard SC/APC optical fibre input interface for low-loss connectivity.
• F-Type RF Output: British-system male F connector for direct connection to CATV splitters, amplifiers, or set-top boxes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the Tuoying RX-16 1550nm Passive Optical Receiver used for?

A: The RX-16 is used to convert optical signals from a fibre-optic network (at 1550nm wavelength) into electrical RF signals for Cable TV (CATV) or FTTH distribution. It supports a frequency range of 45–1000 MHz and requires no external power supply, making it simple to integrate into any HFC or FTTH network endpoint.

Q: Does the passive optical receiver require a power supply?

A: No — the RX-16 is a fully passive device. It draws no external power, which simplifies installation significantly and eliminates the need for a power outlet near the receiver location.

Q: What connectors does the RX-16 optical receiver use?

A: The optical input uses a standard SC/APC connector for low-reflection fibre-optic connection, while the RF output uses a male F-type connector (British system), compatible with standard CATV coaxial cable infrastructure.

Q: What optical input power range is supported?

A: The RX-16 supports an optical receive range of –10 to +2 dBm, providing reliable performance across typical FTTH and CATV signal levels delivered from optical line terminals (OLTs) or optical amplifiers.
