The Teko Telecom TTRU4W-E-M is a fiber optic transmitter/receiver module designed for use in Teko (now part of JMA Wireless) active Distributed Antenna System (DAS) master units. It performs RF-to-optical and optical-to-RF conversion for distributed radio coverage applications in public venues, campuses, tunnels, and large buildings.The module features a 1 Tx + 4 Rx configuration with WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) technology, allowing bidirectional communication over a reduced number of optical fibers. It supports up to 10 dB optical loss budget, enabling flexible placement of remote units at distances suitable for typical DAS deployments. The optical interface uses SC-APC connectors for low-reflection performance and stable long-term operation in single-mode fiber links.
On the RF side, the module includes SMA(f) connectors. The four receiver paths allow independent downlink signal handling from multiple remote units, while the transmitter path distributes the uplink-combined signal. Built-in monitoring ports on the RF receive paths enable live monitoring of each connected remote unit from the master unit without interrupting service. This feature simplifies troubleshooting, power balancing, and performance verification in multi-remote DAS architectures.
The TTRU4W-E-M is engineered for integration into Teko master unit chassis, where it interfaces with the system controller, power supply, and other active DAS components. It supports ultrawideband or multi-band operation depending on the host system configuration, making it suitable for multi-operator or multi-technology environments (2G/3G/4G/LTE).
Key operational characteristics include high linearity to maintain signal integrity, low noise figure for uplink sensitivity, and automatic gain control or manual attenuation options for link optimization. The module reports status and alarm information (optical power, RF levels, temperature, etc.) to the centralized management system via the master unit backplane.
Environmental specifications follow carrier-grade DAS requirements with a standard operating temperature range suitable for indoor rack-mount installations. The compact plug-in design allows easy insertion and hot-swap in redundant or expandable master unit configurations. Proper installation requires attention to fiber cleaning (SC-APC), correct WDM wavelength pairing with remote units, and compliance with optical power levels to avoid saturation or damage.
This fiber optic transmitter/receiver module is intended for telecommunications operators and system integrators deploying or maintaining Teko/JMA active DAS solutions. It provides a reliable, scalable, and maintainable optical transport layer between the master unit and multiple remote antenna units, ensuring high-quality RF signal distribution and collection with minimal fiber infrastructure.
