RF-Design CompactLine 16 x 1 & 4 x 2+1 & 2 x 4+1 redundant RF-over-Fiber System in 1RU

The 16x1, 4x1:1, 4x2+1 and 2x4+1 redundant RF-over-Fiber system of our FiberLink CompactLine Series comes in a 1RU/19" chassis and an IP65 ODB. It is designed for flexible, high quality and secure optical transmission of up to 4x2 or 2x4 RF signals (LBand, Extended L-Band and Broadband 3,2GHt) over a distance of up to 20km.

This redundant RF-over-Fiber allows a quattro 2+1 /1:1 or a dual 4+1 redundant configuration and can be populated with 8/12 active optical TX/RX modules and up to 2/4 hot-standby TX/RX modules. The chassis are designed to allow a mixed population with TX/RX modules within the same chassis, while the chassis are equipped with corresponding RF ports (50Ohm or 75Ohm), which are used either as input or output port as per the individual configuration.

The system features automatic 2+1/4+1 redundancy switching as per preconfigured configurations. Once an error at a TX or RX module occurs, the system automatically activates a switchover to a backup TX or RX module thus ensuring an interference free signal transmission at any time.

Additionally, the system comes with beneficial features such as Laser/Link monitoring, status LED´s at any TX/RX module, variable gain control, RF power monitoring, hot-swappable TX/RX modules and 1:1 redundant dual power supply.

Configuration and monitoring is possible via the front panel LCDisplay while remote configuration and monitoring is available via its Ethernet-Interface (WebGUI, SNMP).
