Foxcom PL7330R10 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 up to an optical budget of 4 dB with the receiver PL7330R4 and 10 dB optical budget with the receiver PL7330R10.

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

Additionally, the automated, adjustable calibration system IMizer allows the user to match the IMD/CNR of the RF links to specific linearity requirements without the need for 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, ensuring optimal system availability. Each module contains its own processor to maximize specification performance at all times under demanding user applications.

The transmitters PL7330T and the receivers PL7330R4 / PL7330R10 are designed for mounting in the Sub-Rack chassis. The corresponding Platinum chassis, model PL7010, features 12 active slots, one main control processor (MCP) slot, and two redundant power supplies. Even with full Sub-Rack loading and full LNB power supply, no fans are required.
