Prisma II 1310 nm High Density Transmitter and Host Module 
 
 
 
 
Description 
The Prisma II optical network is an advanced transmission 
system designed to help optimize network architecture and 
increase reliability, scalability, and cost effectiveness.  The 1310 
nm High Density Transmitters (HDTx) are designed for use in 
the standard Prisma II chassis* and utilize standard power 
supplies and fan tray.  The ability to mix high-density transmitter 
modules with other PII modules in the same chassis greatly 
enhances the flexibility of the platform.  Up to 26 transmitters 
can operate in a standard 6 RU Prisma II Chassis effectively 
doubling the density for 1310 nm transmitters in the chassis.  
The transmitter has 1 GHz passband which greatly increases 
the bandwidth for high definition TV and other advanced 
services.  Microprocessor control allows ease of installation and 
flexibility of application.  The transmitters are offered in a wide 
range of output powers, from 3 dBm to 15 dBm. 
Prisma II Chassis 
 
 
The Prisma II High Density Platform consists of the following modules: 
 
Premium 1310 nm High Density Transmitters 
 
Two HDTx in Host Module 
The premium 1310 nm HDTx offers superior performance for either high power 
HFC application or forward path segmentation.  Transmitters are offered in 4 
dBm to 15 dBm output powers and deliver both analog and digital signals. 
 
Standard 1310 nm High Density Transmitters 
The standard HDTx offers a cost-effective solution for forward path 
segmentation.  Transmitters are offered in 3 dBm to 12 dBm output power and 
deliver both analog and digital signals. 
 
High Density Host Module 
The host module is designed to double the density of the standard PII chassis. 
It provides two slots for the high density modules for each current Prisma II 
slot.  The simple design provides an efficient route of RF and electrical signal 
between the backplane and the high density module. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
* In a 28 connector Prisma II chassis, only the HDTx Broadcast Input port is available.  The Prisma II 56 connector chassis is required to utilize 
both the Broadcast and Narrowcast inputs on the HDTx.
