RF-Design FCLR1811S4 FiberLink CompactLine 8 x 1:1 redundant TX/RX RF-over-Fiber

The 8 x 1:1 redundant RF-over-Fiber system of the FiberLink CompactLine Series is housed in a compact 19″ / 1RU chassis and enables the flexible, high-quality and secure optical transmission of up to eight 1:1 redundant RF signals (L-Band, Extended L-Band and Broadband up to 3.2 GHz) over distances of up to 20 km.

In addition to the redundant links, the system supports four additional TX/RX RF-over-Fiber links without redundancy within the same device. This allows the platform to combine 8 redundant RF links and 4 additional bidirectional RF-over-Fiber paths in a single chassis, providing maximum flexibility for various system architectures and applications.

The modular chassis can be populated with up to 24 active optical TX/RX modules. It allows a mixed population of TX and RX modules within the same chassis, while the system is equipped with corresponding RF ports (50 Ohm or 75 Ohm) that can be used either as input or output ports depending on the individual configuration.

The system features automatic 1:1 redundancy handling and switching for the eight redundant links. Splitter and switching modules, as well as the TX and RX cards, are hot-swappable, ensuring high system availability and easy maintenance.
