WIDEBAND fibre optic solutions

WIDE FIBRE is the new family of optical transmitters and receivers, entirely designed and manufactured by Fracarro, able to manage the signals available from satellite and terrestrial antennas, exploiting the potential of WIDEBAND technology.

The number of coaxial cables connecting the satellite signals to the input of the optical transmitter is halved and it is possible to serve large networks without compromising the quality of the signals available at the outputs of the optical receivers.

The Fracarro WIDE FIBRE range currently includes solutions for distributing a complete satellite position plus terrestrial signals but, very soon, solutions capable of managing up to two complete satellite positions plus terrestrial signals will be available.

WIDEBAND optical transmitter

  • Dual DC-in connectors for a redundant power supply: continuity of service
  • AGC on all coaxial inputs: maximum operating stability
  • Laser dedicated to each SAT and TV section: maximum quality of the RF signal
  • Status LEDs for each input: instant diagnosis of the signal input levels

WIDEBAND optical transmitter for the distribution of 1 complete satellite (V-1310nm, H-1330nm) and terrestrial signals (1550nm).

WIDEBAND optical receivers

  • Extremely compact dimensions
  • Integrated AGC: maximum stability of the RF output signal
  • LED indications for each output: instant diagnostics of the received optical power
  • Extended optical input range (-5dBm to -16dBm): high versatility with 1×64 optical splitting possible
  • Dedicated optical wavelength for each SAT polarity and TV band: maximum RF signal quality
