E8 Node


The E8 is a compact optical node, but there is much more than a neat appearance behind the simplified white finish. True excellence lies beneath the cover. These capable optical nodes combine outstanding performance and practical functionalities.
The E8 is a compact optical node with one active output. Based on the latest GaN amplifier technology, the E8 offers a high output level (CTB/CSO 116.5/116.5 dBμV) and supports 1.2 GHz/204 MHz bandwidth.
Features at a glance:
- 1.2 GHz 2nd generation GaN technology
- Return path supports 204 MHz bandwidth
- Optical AGC (OLC)
- Electrical adjustments with pushbuttons and display
- Selectable burst mode (RFoG)
- Automatic laser clipping mitigation
- Internal WDM filter option
- Power saving mode
- Excellent ESD and surge protection
- Optional PC, tablet or smartphone control via wireless BT or USB (E61 & E62)
- Optional RIS receiver for remote ingress switch control (E61 & E62)
- Optional lid sensor and monitoring transmitter (E62)
- Optional RF power measurement with automatic power save control and automatic alignment (E62)
