10MHz Reference Signal RF Link | PL7130T1550 / PL7130R4
Global Foxcom’s Platinum 10 MHz link is a compact RF over fiber solution for distributing 10 MHz reference sine signals over long distances. With wide dynamic range and support for runs beyond 15 km within a 4 dB optical budget, it provides stable, high-purity timing in space-constrained deployments.
Features & Benefits
- Designed to transfer 10 MHz reference sine signals
- Supports transmission distances of more than 15 km
- 2nd harmonic filter for cleaner reference purity
- DigiRF™ management via LCD and SNMP
- Variety of RF and optical connectors
- Front-panel test port for quick signal checks
Engineered for dependable reference distribution, the PL7130T1550 transmitter and PL7130R4 receiver provide clean, linear transport of a 10 MHz sine reference over long fiber runs. The link offers high input headroom and wide dynamic range to preserve spectral purity and timing stability. Low-profile modules mount in the PL7010 chassis, which integrates redundant power supplies and fan-free cooling for continuous service, supporting high-availability deployments in teleports, gateways, and timing distribution systems.

Can the modules be replaced without downtime?
Yes. The low-profile transmitter and receiver are hot swappable in the PL7010 chassis for maximum uptime.
How is the system managed and monitored?
Operators can configure and monitor status via the front-panel LCD or through the rack’s SNMP interface.
Which chassis is supported?
The PL7130T1550 and PL7130R4 are installed in the Platinum PL7010 chassis.
What is the benefit of the 2nd harmonic filter?
It suppresses harmonic content around the 10 MHz tone, improving spectral purity and helping downstream equipment maintain stable timing.
Are fans required for operation?
No. The PL7010 chassis provides fan-free cooling for continuous service.
