Description

The Fiber Optic Interface (FOI) converts the RF signals into modulated laser light. The module is equipped with WDM technology allowing uplink and downlink to reside on the same single-mode fiber. The four independent receivers on the board allows each link to be adjusted independently. With this 4-way optical unit there is no need to have different wavelengths in the uplink of the up to 4 remote units that can be connected to it.
