CWDM RF Over Fiber Link System

SKU: CRFO

The RF over Fiber (RFOF) Link Series is designed for high-fidelity transmission of analog and digital RF signals up to 3 GHz over distances of up to 1 km. The system converts electrical RF signals into optical signals using a directly modulated laser at the transmitter. At the receiver, a high-linearity photodiode and low-noise amplifier convert the optical signal back into an RF signal, providing a transparent and high-performance data transmission channel. This series supports all 18 CWDM wavelengths specified by the ITU, ranging from 1271 nm to 1611 nm. When paired with a CWDM multiplexer, multiple independent channels can be transmitted over a single shared fiber link. Additionally, an optional bidirectional RF communication feature enables two-way transmission over a single fiber strand using adaptors. To enhance performance, low-noise RF amplifiers and optical amplifiers can be integrated to reduce the noise figure.
The system is housed in a network-ruggedized rack-mount case that includes four pluggable modules and 100-240 VAC power input. The design is highly flexible and scalable. This compact design is ideal for applications requiring cost effective and efficient multi-channel RF signal transport over fiber.
