Global Foxcom are one of the leading RF over Fibre (RFoF) Converter manufacturers from Israel. These Links are used to transport down-converted IF signals from a satellite signal feed. Our RF Optic solutions are capable of transporting signals ranging from DC-18GHz catering to a wide range of applications over long distances. Typically, RFoF links receive the down-converted satellite signals from a remote Antenna.
RF over fiber (or Radio over Fiber) refers to a technology whereby light is modulated by a radio frequency signal and transmitted over a fiber optic cable. Optical fiber operates by transmitting light along a dielectric glass fiber, rather than electrical signals over copper. The main technical advantages of using fiber optical links are lower transmission losses, immunity to noise and electromagnetic interference, flexibility and ease of installation.
Global Foxcom’s Flagship Platinum product line is designed to meet the increasing requirements for modularity and high-performance in a small form factor for superior long-distance transmission. Each low profile individual transmitter or receiver can be “hot swapped” in the sub-rack chassis maintaining the highest quality subsystem uptime capability. Each module contains an individual processor to maximize performance at all times. Global Foxcom’s high dynamic range DFB laser delivers exceptional signal quality for the most demanding of applications.
Global Foxcom’s RFoF converters can be categorised into Platinum series and Gold Series.
