F-RFOF-TXRX - Overview

The Thor Fiber F-RFoF-TxRx Forward RF 45-1000Mhz containing CATV Channels 2-135 is being sent from the Headend to the endpoints. The second component is a Return Path 5-42Mhz containing Data, being sent from endpoints to the headend.

Since Cable TV over coax cable service is actually Bi directional communication on different frequencies, forward path and return path.

Copper Coax is a great transmission medium, but it is losing a lot of transmission power over long-distance runs, single mode fiber solves that problem.

Thor has a solution for it and provides TX and RX devices, to replicate and simulate the bi-directional RF Point to Point over 2 Fibers.

Very useful for extendeding point to point, any CATV interactive service and Fast Cable Internet Service where bi-directional signals are being sent back and forth.

These devices convert electrical RF to optical in both directions simultaneously, it supports encrypted CATV, Clear QAM, and ATSC modulated RF.

It also supports Analog modulated RF PAL and NTSC.

Compatible with Cable TV and Internet Coax services like Comcast, Spectrum, Charter, Xfinity, Cox Communications and more.
Unit requires 2 single-mode fibers, and need to be interfaced with SC/APC fiber connectors to eliminate any reflections.

The F-RFoF-TX is a dual-purpose device; Forward RF 45-1000Mhz fiber optic TX on one fiber, and also CATV RF Return Path 5-42Mhz RX on the second fiber.

The F-RFoF-RX does the opposite; Forward RF 45-1000Mhz fiber optic RX on one fiber and Return Path 5-42Mhz TX on the second fiber.

Using in pairs allows you to replace Coaxial Cable for long-distances up to 10Km. Can also be used as a Fiber Break for copper to fiber isolation for secure areas (ie a SCIF room)

- Bi-directional RF communication
- Replicates, simulates copper Coax RF communication over two singlemode fibers
- A Side sends forward RF and receives return path RF, B side receives Foward RF and sends back return path

Please Note! This system requires Singlmode SC/APC Duplex cable!. Please inquire about our "Custom Fiber Shop" if you need a specific length of fiber cable.
