4 LNB Feeds Over Single Fiber DWDMSatellite TV over fiber system for MDU or Municipal FTTx
distribution systems. Integrates four independent L-Band
optical DWDM transmitters with optical multiplexing filter
Combines up to four coax feeds from LNB to a single fiber
with four RF carriers on C-Band optics for use with EDFA.
Application Drawing: DWDM + EDFA = FTTx
This platform is available with multiple output power options as well as different DWDM passive and fiber options. The chassis
can be ordered without internal passives for use with an external DWDM. Thor provides full system design and integration
services for any scale system. This platform can also work with GPON or AE systems to provide internet and telephone
service in addition to Satellite TV over a single fiber. When used with EDFA optical amplifiers and PLC splitters, this transmitter
can deliver service to up to 512 optical receivers. For systems requiring more subscribers, Thor offers externally modulated
systems by request. Alternately, multiple transmitters can be used. All configuration settings are power levels can be
managed through the web interface, and SNMP is available. Rear panel switches are used to set polarity tone and LNB power.

4 LNB Feeds Over Single Fiber DWDM
Thor Integrated DWDM receivers combine optical filters
with 4 discrete L-Band outputs. These subscriber units
can be customized for any optical channels or signal types.
In addition to L-Band, cable TV RF (45-900MHz) can also
be added as an option. By incorporating the DWDM
seperation filter into the chassis, only one fiber is needed
to carry all necessary satellite sources and polarities. RF
outputs are provided on standard 75 Ohm Type-F
connectors. This system is designed to connect directly to The customer premise equipment, such as an MDU distributor or single wire multiswitch. This platforms low cost point makes it
useful for both large MDU installations as well as municipal scale fiber to the home deployments. Suitable for long fiber runs,
Thor RF receivers have high sensitivity diodes that function down to -12 dBm optical power level. This high sensitivity allows
longer fiber runs with more splits and splices. In addition, the use of C-Band DWDM optics allows for EDFA in line
amplification. Thor DWDM L-Band systems are designed for large installations requiring scalability. Additional EDFA
amplifiers can be added at any time to increase subscriber capacity without requiring a substantial expense. Thor provides
complete solutions for all FTTx applications, and offers on site optical engineering service, 24/7 support, and 5 years warranty.
