The Platinum IF platform is engineered to meet the growing demand for modular, high-performance IF transport in a small form factor. Supporting optical budgets of up to 4 dB (PL7330R4) and 10 dB (PL7330R10), it delivers reliable, full-spec performance over long distances — up to 10 km (and up to 15 km with the PL7330T1550).

Powered by DigiRF™ technology, users can configure, monitor, and analyze all key system functions locally via a front-panel LCD or remotely through SNMP. The integrated IMizer™ calibration system automatically optimizes IMD/CNR linearity without requiring two-tone testing, ensuring peak performance with minimal setup effort.
Each transmitter and receiver module is hot-swappable, features an independent processor for maximum uptime, and is designed for easy installation in the PL7010 12-slot sub-rack chassis. The chassis includes a main control processor and dual redundant power supplies, and its efficient thermal design eliminates the need for fans, even under full load.

What is the maximum transmission distance supported by the PL7330T and PL7330R10 system?

The system supports fiber runs of up to 45 kilometers when using a 16 dB optical budget. Lower budgets, such as 10 dB or 4 dB, support distances of up to 25 kilometers and 10 kilometers respectively.

Can I monitor and control the system remotely?

Yes. The system includes a DigiRF interface that supports both local LCD control and full remote monitoring and management via SNMP through the rack-mounted sub-system.

What is IMizer and how does it help with calibration?

IMizer is an embedded link calibration system that automatically adjusts intermodulation distortion (IMD) levels. It eliminates the need for traditional two tone testing by allowing users to set IMD targets locally or remotely.

Does the system require fans or active cooling?

No. The PL7010 chassis is designed to operate without fans, even when fully loaded with active modules and delivering LNB powering.

What frequency range does the IF fiber optic link support?

The 70/140 MHz IF Fiber Optic Link supports an input frequency range from 10 to 200 MHz, making it suitable for various intermediate frequency transport applications.
