10MHz Reference Signal RF Link | PL7130T1550 / PL7130R10
Global Foxcom’s Platinum 10 MHz link is a compact, modular RF over fiber solution. Paired with the PL7130R10 receiver, the system supports a 10 dB optical budget for extended distances beyond 40 km while preserving reference purity in space-limited racks.
Features & Benefits
- Designed to transfer 10 MHz reference sine signals
- Supports distances of more than 40 km
- 2nd harmonic filter for cleaner reference purity
- Front-panel LCD and rack-mounted SNMP management
- Variety of RF and optical connectors
Built for high-availability timing networks, the PL7130T1550 transmitter and PL7130R10 receiver carry a clean 10 MHz reference over long fiber paths with stable, repeatable performance. Compact, low-profile modules slot into the Platinum PL7010 chassis and are hot swappable to keep systems online. Redundant power and fan-free operation support continuous service. Local or remote controls streamline commissioning and maintenance without service interruption.

What connector and impedance options are available?
You can use 50 ohm or 75 ohm systems with common RF connectors including F, SMA, BNC, and N. Optical connectors are FC APC or SC APC with an E2000 option.
What input level should I feed into the transmitter?
The recommended total RF input is between minus 10 dBm and plus 5 dBm. The input can tolerate up to plus 20 dBm without damage.
Can I sample the signal without interrupting service?
Yes. A front panel test port provides a sample around 20 dB down so you can verify levels during operation.
What optical budget and distance does this version target?
When paired with the PL7130R10 the link supports a 10 dB optical budget and is suitable for distances beyond 40 kilometers.
What operating environment does the hardware support?
Hardware support ambient conditions from 10 degrees below zero to 55 degrees Celsius with 95 percentage humidity non-condensing.
