IF Fiber 70/140 MHz Optic Link | PL7330T / PL7330R4
The PL7330T transmitter and PL7330R4 receiver deliver high-performance IF signal transmission in a compact sub-rack chassis design. The system enables stable RF performance with high input power handling and supports up to a 4db optical budget for long-distance applications.
Features & Benefits
- IF frequency range from 10–200 MHz
- Supports transmission distance up to 10 km
- DigiRF™ management through front panel LCD and SNMP
- IMizer™ automated calibration for IMD and CNR alignment
- User-defined IMD configuration for linearity control
- Hot-swappable modules for continuous system operation
- Multiple RF and optical connector configurations
- 1550nm and CWDM variants for extended fiber reach
Basic Details
The PL7330T and PL7330R4 are designed for modular IF applications that require stable operation and sub-rack chassis deployment. Each transmitter and receiver module can be hot-swapped within the sub-rack chassis to maintain subsystem uptime during servicing, and each module contains an individual processor to maintain specification performance under demanding user applications. The associated PL7010 chassis includes 12 active slots, one main control processor slot, and two redundant power supplies. No fans are required even under full sub-rack loading and full LNB powering.
