12 Input L-Band Fiber Optic Transmitter/Receiver
The L-Band Transmitter and Receiver pair are used for transporting (12) L-Band sources over a single fiber strand from the antenna to the satellite receiver.
- General Details
The 12 input L-Band Transmitter and Receiver pair are used for transporting (12) discrete L-Band paths over a single strand of fiber from the antenna’s to the satellite receivers. L-band RF signals have a very limited range over coaxial cable, typically no more than a few hundred feet. By transporting the L-Band over fiber this range can be extended from several hundred feet to over 25 miles. Transmitters provide optional 13/18V LNB power as well as Automatic Gain Control (AGC) to manage RF input level. Fiber optic transport of satellite signals is useful in many applications, such as transportation of signals from a remote satellite farm to a broadcaster or cable company’s Headend, uplink and downlink applications, and DBS services. Having the ability to place 12 intendent transmitters in one device using a single strand of fiber allows for maximum efficiency.
