NOTE: To be eligible for support by Harmonic, use qualified SFPs only.
An optical SFP has two LC sockets, Receive(Rx) and Transmit(Tx). Use Multimode or Singlemode
fiber optics to connect your Gigabit Ethernet switch to the Rx socket. If bi-directional topology is
used, connect the Tx socket back to the switch.
8VSB Modulation Card
The 8VSB modulation card is an RF input module that enables the reception of ATSC terrestrial
TV. It receives four independent ATSC 8VSB signals on the inputs and outputs from four MPEG-2
Transport Streams.
NOTE: The four inputs are enabled by optional firmware licenses.
