Long, medium and short distance RF over fibre solutions

Depending on your application, ETL Systems can provide signal distribution solutions for

- Long distances via DWDM (up to 500km)

- Medium distances via CWDM (up to 50km)

- or short distances (up to 10km) 

 

DWDM Long Distance Fibre Transmission - Up to 500km

ETL Systems StingRay DWDM system transmits RF signals up to 500km in distance, for diverse sites. It comprises transmit modules and a multiplexer module to combine up to 40 wavelengths on to a single fibre cable at the transmission end.

An EDFA (Erbium-Doped Fibre Amplifier) is used to boost the signal at the receive end, to overcome excessive optical loss on long fibre runs. A DCF (Dispersion Compensation Fibre) module may need to be used for distances approaching 100km. A demultiplexer module and receive modules are then use to split the sperate wavelengths.

CWDM Medium Distance Fibre Transmission - Up to 50km

ETL Systems StingRay CWDM system transmits RF signals up to 45km in distance.

It comprises transmit modules and a multiplexer module to combine up to 8 wavelengths on to a single fibre cable at the transmit end. A demultiplexer module and receive modules are then used at the receive end to split the separate wavelengths.

Short Distance Fibre Transmission - Up to 10km

ETL Systems standard StingRay RF Over Fibre chassis and modules offer transmission distances up to 10km and are used as an alternative to copper coaxial cable. They convert high quality RF to optical signals over single mode fibre from, for example a satellite antenna to reception room, up to 10km away.

StingRay RF Over Fibre uses single-mode fibre, as the optical performance is improved over long distances and wider bandwidths. ETL's range of RF component standalone Fibre Optic modules provide a great space saving alternative, with optical input to 10MHz signal output for timing applications also available.
