Innbox C30
Fiber Termination Unit with CATV receiver
To secure investments in access fiber plants, traditional user segment should be taking into account
as well. When it comes to deploying the video service over fiber, video is transmitted to radio
frequencies (RF) and signals are then carried across the fiber network as RF over fiber. The least
expensive solution is to broadcast analog video over the fiber infrastructure in the same manner as
an analog cable system. One advantage is the cost: a wealth of analog cable products are available
at a low price to build out the head-end. Also, no set-top boxes are required to decode the video
inside the customer’s home, further reducing the cost of implementation.
Fiber Termination Unit (FTU) Innbox C30 with RF Fiber-Coax converter introduces the flexible housing with
fiber optic CATV receiver and fiber cord amortization. It is designed to be used at end user site in fiber CATV
distribution network. The CATV receiver receives the optical signal and converts it into standard analog or
digital DVB-C TV signal.
The flexible housing enables easy integration with Iskratel IP Network Termination (e.g. Innbox F20, Innbox
F28) or Home Gateway (e.g. Innbox F60). Unit enables direct powering with external power supply adapter
or indirect powering through NT or HGW attached. In addition Innbox C30 provides storage for redundant
fiber optic cable (up to 10m) and special designed splice cassette to enable welding and fixing optical pigtail
with connectors.
