Foxcom PL7330R16 IF Fiber 70/140 MHz Optic Link

The Platinum IF products from Global Foxcom are designed to meet the growing demand for modularity and high performance in a compact format for superior long-distance transmissions. With high RF input power and a wide dynamic range, the links provide full specification service with an optical budget of up to 16 dB for the receiver PL7330R16, and 10/4 dB for the receivers PL7330R10 and PL7330R4.

By utilizing Global Foxcom’s DigiRF technology, the user has full control over all key functions for setup, operation, and analysis either via the front-panel LCD display or via the associated sub-rack SNMP functionality.

Additionally, the automated, adjustable link calibration system IMizer allows the user to match the IMD/CNR of the RF links to specific linearity requirements without having to perform a two-tone test. The user can select the desired IMD for the optical transmitter either locally or remotely, and IMizer automatically adjusts the laser driver to meet the IMD requirements.

Each slim individual transmitter or receiver can be hot-swapped in the sub-rack chassis to ensure optimal system availability. Every module contains its own processor to maximize specification performance even under demanding user applications at all times.

The transmitters PL7330T and the receivers PL7330R4 / PL7330R10 / PL7330R16 are designed for mounting in the sub-rack chassis. The associated Platinum chassis, model PL7010, features 12 active slots, a main control processor (MCP) slot, and two redundant power supplies. Even with a fully loaded sub-rack and full LNB power supply, no fans are required.
