Product Description
Global Foxcom’s Platinum Wideband products are designed to meet the increasing demand for modularity and highperformance in a small form factor for superior long-distance transmission. With high RF input power and wide dynamicrange, the link is designed to provide full specification service up to a full 10 dB optical budget with the PL7440R10receiver.
Utilizing Global Foxcom’s DigiRF technology, the user has full control of all important functions for setup, operation, andanalysis via the front panel LCD or via the associated sub-rack SNMP capability.
In addition IMizer, an automated adjustable link calibration embedded system enables the user to align the RF links
IMD/CNR to specific linearity performances without a two-tone test. Select the desired IMD for the optical transmitter,either locally or remotely, IMizer automatically adjusts the laser drive to meet the IMD requirements. The IMizer requires
the use of a correction factor table above 2.5 GHz.
Each low profile individual transmitter or receiver can be “hot swapped” in the sub-rack chassis maintaining the best
subsystem uptime capability. Each module contains an individual processor to maximize specification performance at all
times under demanding user applications.
The PL7440T transmitter and PL7440R10 receiver are designed for chassis mounting. The associated Platinum chassis,
model PL7010, has 12 active slots, one main control processor (MCP) slot and two redundant power supplies. No fans arerequired even under full sub-rack loading and full LNB powering.
