Abstract

The important design considerations for a fiber-optic television trunk line using both analog and digital approaches are given. The decision processes for selecting the approach for a given application requirement are discussed. Important link model parameters for an actual 12 channel, 8 km CATV supertrunk are shown with photographs of operating commercial hardware.
