The OLSON TECHNOLOGY, INC. LaserPlus Model LP-x is a compact,
high density optical transmission system which allows hub, headend
and digital transport to coexist on a single, scalable platform. It pro-
vides the outstanding performance, system design flexibility and scala-
bility in almost any network architecture from traditional Hybrid Fiber
Coax (HFC) to the newer fiber-deep Targeted Service Delivery (TSD)
area topologies. As such, the LaserPlus is the ideal platform for the
transport of evolving services and resultant expanding bandwidth
requirements in today’s advanced HFC and PON networks.
The three (3) rack-unit LaserPlus chassis accepts up to fifteen “mix-
and-match” applications modules and single or dual redundant inde-
pendent power supplies (AC or DC), minimizing headend space
requirements. This fully-integrated, cost effective package utilizes many
of the very latest RF and optical design techniques to provide superior
system performance to beyond 1,000 MHz, while dramatically reducing
component size and minimizing system powering requirements, and
the costs normally associated with them.
The LaserPlus transmission platform is the perfect companion to opti-
cal receiver/node products in the Olson Technology, Inc. MetroNode
Model OTMN-II and PremiseNode Model OTPN-x product families, but
is also designed to operate seamlessly with optical transmitters,
receivers and nodes from most leading manufacturers.
LaserPlus System
Features
• Compact: Space-Efficient 3RU footprint means that
up to 13 chassis can be installed in a standard 70"
rack
• High Density: Up to 15 applications modules per
3RU 19" EIA chassis; 195 modules per 70" rack
• Scalable: Full lineup of application modules opti-
mizes virtually any CATV system architecture, from
traditional 4:1 “blast-and-split” HFC configurations to
newer topologies with 1:1 forward path segmentation
• High Performance Fwd 1310nm Transmitters: 3dBm
to 15dBm outputs @ 1310nm; 195 per 70" rack
• Triple Return Receivers: Up to 45 fully independent
1310/1550nm receivers per chassis; 585 per 70"
rack
• Other Modules: 1550nm Fwd FTTP Tx;
CWDM/DWDM R-Tx; DWDM QAM Tx; Block Down
Converter
• Return Path Segmentation: via 2:1 or 4:1 (5-42/65
MHz) block downconverters; Field-proven since 1999
• Remote Monitoring and Control: Optional network
management interface supports SNMP via Ethernet
port
• Local Status Monitoring: Rear chassis DB-25 con-
nector outputs individual module summary alarms via
contact closures, and LEDs on each module indicate
general operating status & key operating parameters
• Convenient Test Points: Optical and RF test points
are located on the front panel of each module
• Powering Redundancy: Fully independent, universal
90-264VAC and/or ±48VDC power supplies
• Power Efficiency: < 150 Watts per fully-loaded chas-
sis; Runs cooler, reduced power costs & longer life
• Thermal Efficiency: Four hot-swappable fans in chas-
sis plenum creates more airflow than module-based
fans
• Integrated Fiber Management Tray: Inside the chas-
sis, above and in front of the application modules
• Plug-in, Modular Front-Access Design & Hot-Swap
Module Capability: Easy replacement & configuration
• Very Cost-Effective
