High Sensitivity Receiver (HSR)

The new High Sensitivity Receiver (HSR) has been designed for high loss environments with lots of splices/interconnects or low quality fiber infrastructure. It mitigates or reduces the need for EDFAs, even working with CWDM and long distance systems where EDFAs are not available.

With excellent Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) and designed for optical losses between 22-32 dB, the HSR is a failsafe when the optical environment is not under the user’s control.

Enabler for high loss optical paths
L-Band HTS (700-2450 MHz)
Flat response 1 dB peak-to-peak
Wide wavelength response
Standard 5 year warranty

ViaLiteHD 1U rack chassis - populated with chassis cards

ViaLiteHD 3U Rack Chassis Demo video screenshot

The High Sensitivity Receiver (HSR) comes in ViaLiteHD chassis card format. It can be used in combination with Hyper Wide Dynamic Range (HWDR) cards for best performance in high optical loss situations.

Supports link losses equivalent to 140 km
Negates need for EDFA or optical Amp
Excellent SFDR with low optical input

Applications

70 km, 1310 nm, 90 dB SFDR unity gain link
CWDM (1270-1610) high optical loss links
140 km, 1550 nm, 90 dB high reliability SFDR link over dispersion shifted fiber
Point to multipoint ‘high optical fan-out loss’ distribution

Hardware formats

The link is available in several formats:

– Single rack chassis card / Dual rack chassis card (Rx/Rx, Tx/Tx or Tx/Rx)

A fully populated 19” 3U ViaLiteHD rack chassis supports up to 26 links and accepts 13 RF cards, plus an SNMP card and dual power supply modules. A 1U chassis accepts three RF cards or two RF cards with an SNMP card.

A range of support modules and accessories is also available, including indoor rack chassis units and weatherproof outdoor enclosures.
