FAQ

RFoF Link Selection

What is an RF over fiber converter?

An RF over fiber converter changes an electrical RF signal into an optical signal for transmission over fiber. At the receiving end, the optical signal is converted back to RF, allowing radio frequency signals to be transported over longer distances with lower cable loss than conventional coaxial links.

Can RF over fiber replace coaxial cable?

Yes. RF over fiber can replace long coaxial RF runs when cable loss, electromagnetic interference, weight or routing distance becomes a concern. The RF signal is converted to optical transmission over single-mode fiber and recovered at the receiving end.

Which RFoF link should I choose?

Choose RFoF-C when remote control and monitoring are required, the Compact Analog/Digital RFoF for space-constrained analog or digitally modulated RF integration, and the Plug-and-Play Analog RFoF for straightforward fixed-gain analog transmission without external control.

What signal formats does the Compact Analog/Digital RFoF support?

It supports analog and digitally modulated RF signals from 5 MHz to 6 GHz, with 1310 nm or 1550 nm wavelength options.

What can be controlled and monitored remotely with RFoF-C?

Through its RJ45 Ethernet interface, RFoF-C supports 0–31 dB programmable attenuation in 1 dB steps, LNA ON/OFF control, and real-time monitoring of RF level and temperature.
