What Is an Optical Transmitter and How Does It Work in Fiber Optic TV?

An optical transmitter is a device responsible for converting electrical television signals (SAT, DTT, DVB) into optical signals that can be efficiently distributed via fiber optics. Its main function is to deliver a high-quality signal from a central headend to multiple reception points—such as optical receivers—without quality loss or interference.

In professional environments such as residential buildings, hotels, hospitals, or shopping centers, optical transmitters are essential for ensuring stable and scalable TV content distribution.

 

Advantages of Using Optical Transmitters over Coaxial Systems

Compared to traditional coaxial systems, an optical transmitter offers several significant benefits:

· Longer transmission range (up to several kilometers without intermediate amplification)
· Immunity to electromagnetic interference—ideal for technical or industrial settings
· Lower cabling costs due to the lightweight and easy-to-install nature of fiber
· More efficient centralized distribution with minimal signal loss

These advantages make optical transmitters the preferred choice for projects that demand stability, image quality, and scalability.

 

Available Optical Transmitter Models for TV Networks

We offer a wide range of optical transmitters tailored to different needs:

· Optical output power ranging from 6 to 12 dBm for short or long-distance coverage
· Input formats: SAT (DVB-S/S2), DTT (DVB-T/T2), or combined
· Models with Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
· SC/APC or FC/UPC output connectors based on compatibility
· Various optical wavelengths λ (1310 nm, 1490 nm, 1550 nm, etc.)
· Power options including local power supply or PoE

Whether you're planning an FTTH installation, a community network, or distribution on a corporate campus, you’ll find the right model for your project.
