Thor Broadcast F-NODE Compact Clam Shell Outdoor Weather Proof Fiber Optic Receiver for CATV 45-1000Mhz

The Thor Fiber RF fiber transport systems are made to easily suppor the transport and distribution of CATV RF signals over single mode fiber optic cable. This F-NODE is used as an outdoor receiver in a specail clam shell style weather resistant enclosure for easy drop locations outside of a building. Relying on the incoming signal from the Thor Fiber RF Transmitter of your choice, this CATV mini receiver is used as a low-cost end point when rack equipment is not needed or when the conditions require a professional installer to mount the unit on the side or roof of a building. This particular model is made for a single mode fiber input, has a test node inside for RF output, and on the opposite side has two RF F-Type connectors that you can easily connect your RF cable to for easy output drive to your headend to RF architecture. 

Use to easy, compact design, and powerful enough to drive the RF signal to numerous endpoints with it's inherent dual output design. The F-NODE requires single mode fiber like all RF devices, and utilizes the industry standard SC/APC fiber connector. SC/APC is a staple of RF distribution over fiber to limit and reflections to create a solid point to point connection. Also included is AGC (automatic gain control) and the highest degree of processing creating a very powerful and useful tool for anyone that necessitates a great receiver that can be used in any installation. 

NOTE: it is very important to interface unit with SC/APC - Angle Polished Connector to avoid any light reflections.

If your fiber is terminated with the  SC, ST, FC /PC flat connector, you need to use an optical jumper from PC type to SC/APC for proper conversion.
