The Cisco® Prisma® II 1.2 GHz High Density Long Reach Multiwave (HD-LRMW) Transmitter (Figure 1) is the CATV industry’s first monolithic hybrid optical source module. Based on quaternary indium phosphide semiconductors, it separates the functions of light generation from RF modulation. The result is a smaller size, lower cost, narrow linewidth component providing performance more often associated with discrete external modulator technologies. Longer distance transmission without the linearity degradation of directly modulated sources is possible, expanding the capabilities of dense wavelength division multiplexed (DWDM) optical links to facilitate best-in-class architectures with unprecedented versatility and flexibility. Consistent with other Prisma II transmitters, the HD-LRMW offers 1.2 GHz of RF spectrum and transports a multiplex of analog, quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), and orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) channels with unmatched performance for node segmentation, fiber reclamation, and fiber deep architectures. The features, characteristics, and value position this transmitter to address the broadest range of applications in the fluid broadband access market.

NOTES
1. These ITU channels constitute the iWDM plan. See table 2 for the part numbers associated with the particular wavelengths.
2. Level shown represents the total power of a 192 MHz wide OFDM signal. This is equivalent to the power per 6 MHz CEA (Consumer Electronics Association) channel + 10*log10 (Number of occupied CEA channels); that is [12dBmV + 10*log10(32)] = 27 dBmV
3. Specifications are based on a single transmitter.
4. Input level to read 0 dB in the GUI or CLI parameter table.
5. The test link setup is shown in figure 2. The receiver has an efficiency of 0.95 A/W and a noise equivalent power of 3.9 pA/√Hz.
6. Test loading may substitute SC-QAM for OFDM signals.
7. Received power is -5 dBm for all digital load and 0 dBm for mixed analog and digital load.
