RF Venue OPTIX Remote Antenna RF to Optical Cable Extender Set (6.2 mi)

The Optix remote antenna distribution system eliminates the need for expensive, fragile, and lossy coaxial cable by converting RF signal into light. Long runs of up to 10,000 meters are possible with nearly lossless transmission over 1310nm single mode fiber cable. Optix works with any simplex (one-way) 50 ohm radio signal between 450 MHz and 850 MHz.

Each system includes a transmitter and receiver. The transmitter is deployed at the remote antenna site and converts incoming RF from the antenna into an 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, through a BNC connector.

Optix is primarily designed for wireless audio receive applications. It has been used in a wide range of signal chain configurations. With appropriate in-line attenuation and re-amplification, it can be used for transmit applications as well. The dynamic range of 60 dB is more than adequate for most applications as long as the user does not exceed the dynamic range limits.
