RF-Design, a developer and manufacturer of RF amplifying and monitoring products for the satellite communications ground infrastructures, has introduced the FiberLinkplus a 1:1 redundant RF-over-Fiber solution. It is designed for flexible, high-quality, secure and stable optical transmission in a 1:1 redundant configuration for up to 16 RF signals (10 MHz, IF, L-Band, Extended L-Band and Broadband) over a distance of up to 20 km.
This RF-over-Fiber system is available in 1RU/19” and 4RU/19” rack mount designs. The 1RU/19” chassis can be populated with 2 TX/RX modules for a single 1:1 redundant or 4 TX/RX modules for a dual x 1:1 redundant operation. The 4RU/19” chassis can hold up to 32 TX/RX modules for max. 16 x 1:1 redundant operation.
All available chassis are designed to allow mixed population with TX/RX modules within the same chassis, while the chassis are equipped with corresponding RF ports (50 Ohm or 75 Ohm), which are used either as input or output port as per the individual configuration.
Once an active TX or RX module fails, the corresponding hot-standby TX or RX module becomes active, thus ensuring an almost interference-free signal transmission at any time. Additionally, the system comes with beneficial features such as Laser/Link monitoring, status LEDs at any TX/RX module, variable gain control, RF power monitoring, switchable LNB-supply, hot-swappable TX/RX modules, and 1:1 redundant dual power supply.
Configuration and monitoring are possible via the front panel LC-Display or 7" touchscreen, while remote configuration is available via its Ethernet interface (WebGUI, SNMP).
The FiberLinkplus professional 1:1 redundant RF-over-Fiber system stands for perfect RF performance, secure signal distribution and is perfectly suited for Teleports, Satellite Earth Stations, Broadcasting and Cable/IPTV operations.
