Product Overview
The OPTIX remote antenna distribution system eliminates the need for expensive, fragile, and lossy coaxial cable by converting RF signals into light. Unprecedented runs of up to 10,000 meters are possible with nearly lossless transmission over 1310nm singlemode fiber cable. OPTIX works with any simplex (one-way) 50 ohm radio device between 100 MHz and 850 MHz. Each OPTIX system includes a transmitter and receiver (or two of each for the diversity/double SKU). The transmitter is deployed at the remote antenna site and converts incoming RF from the antenna into optical signal. The signal travels via fiber optic cable to the OPTIX receiver module placed near the rack. The receiver converts the optical signal back to RF, and outputs to a BNC connector. With appropriate in-line attenuation and re-amplification, it can be used for transmit applications as well.
