RF-over-fiber modules transport RF signals over optical links to reduce coax loss and extend distance, using linearized transmit/receive optical chains. They are specified by RF bandwidth, dynamic range, connectorization, and optical power. Each terminal contains an optical transmitter (Tx) that converts RF to an optical signal and an optical receiver unit that converts it back to the RF signal (Rx). The two terminals are connected through the customer's single mode fiber to complete the bidirectional RFoF link. The FiberLink plus series incorporates standard (non-redundant), N+1/N+2 and 1:1 redundant solutions suited for indoor and outdoor. RF over Fiber (RFoF) was developed to address the limitations of traditional coaxial cables in transmitting high-frequency RF signals over long distances with minimal signal loss and interference. These high-performance RFoF products are trusted by major satellite operators and broadcasters worldwide for reliable and scalable Radio over Fiber.
