What transmitter and receiver options are available?
Two transmitter gain configurations are offered. The receiver includes two output options to match downstream requirements.
Can the board be ordered for 50 ohm or 75 ohm systems?
Yes. Both 50 ohm and 75 ohm versions are available and use MCX RF connectors.
What controls are available during setup and verification?
AGC or MGC can be selected. Laser drive and RF output trim adjustments are provided for level alignment during verification.
What optical interface is used?
FC/APC at 1310 nm.
What range should be expected in typical installations?
The link is based on a 4 dB optical budget. Distance depends on total path loss, including fiber condition, connectors, and splices.
What are the power and size details for enclosure planning?
The board operates from 12.7 to 18 V DC and measures 105 × 50 × 15 mm. Optical and RF alarm outputs are available for host monitoring.
