Abstract
A system for transporting a plurality of analog and/or digital signals over an optical fiber can include one or more master modems for modulating digital signals and/or RF inserters modulating video signals. The RF signals from the modem(s)/RF inserters are up-converted resulting in frequency bands that are non-overlapping and are spaced apart within a single sub-octave. The sub-octave signal is then converted into an optical signal and directed onto an end of an optical fiber. At the downstream end of the optical fiber, the received optical signal is converted to an RF signal at an optical receiver. The RF signal is then filtered, down-converted and directed to a selected coaxial distribution unit. From the coaxial distribution unit, the RF signal is demodulated, e.g. at a slave modem, to recover the initial analog and/or digital signal.
