Pro-grade RF over Fiber transmitters and transceivers

 

Our RF over Fiber link modules are trusted by industry leaders and are very cost-effective. Most of these analog over fiber links (one-way and two-way) can theoretically work for most applications, such as Satcom, GPS, WiMAX/LTE, and DAS, but we do have recommendations for their optimum application.

 

Analog RF over Fiber Application PDF
We also offer a full MNS allowing for multiple site management at no additional cost to our Optical Zonu customers. The NMS supports network overview and allows the user to drill down to specific modules with full web UI and GUI in addition to the SNMP that can be integrated with the customer’s existing infrastructure.


How RF over Fiber Links Work


Converting analog RF signals into light, then transporting the optical signal over fiber optic cable, is a complex process which requires a high degree of technical know-how and expertise. Incoming RF signals from the antenna or signal source are fed into Optical Zonu’s RF over Fiber Transmitter/Transceiver Module via the 50 Ohm RF connector. The Module contains RF signal conditioning and provides complex impedance matching between 50 Ohm input impedance and the Laser, Laser Bias Control, APC, Monitoring and Alarm electronics. The Transmitter Module utilizes an Intensity Modulation scheme to convert RF signals into light. This modulated light is then transported through an optical fiber to the Optical Receiver Module. The Receiver Module converts the modulated light back into an RF signal. The recovered RF signal is again complex impedance matched and amplified before it becomes available at the output of the Receiver Module.

 

All RFoF products come with...


1.  30 Day money back Guarantee.

2.  One Year Warranty.

3.  One year technical support.

GPS Over Fiber Transport

GPS systems typically consist of an active rooftop antenna, a GNSS / GPS receiver and a length of coaxial cable to connect them. A challenge arises, however, when the distance between the rooftop antenna and the cellular base station equipment (usually in the basement) is greater than 300 ft. Coaxial cable runs of over 300 ft are not practical for most GNSS / GPS receiver systems, so a fiber optic link is required at these or greater distances, and Optical Zonu’s fiber optic links are some of the most trusted and cost-effective links in the industry.
