en.Wedoany.com Reported - RFOptic has recently launched an 8.0GHz Radio Frequency over Fiber (RFoF) link to meet customer demand for a compact and cost-effective solution. The product covers a frequency range up to 8GHz, making it suitable for 7.1GHz 5G band and C-band applications.

RFOptic Launches 8GHz RF over Fiber Link Supporting 5G and C-Band

"At the request of our customers, we have extended the frequency range of our programmable RFoF links to 8 GHz. This enables our customers to operate in the 7.125-8.400 GHz band, also known as the '6G golden band'," said Dr. Avner Sharon, CEO and CTO of RFOptic. "It allows operators to effectively balance capacity and coverage without incurring excessive infrastructure costs. They will be able to increase network capacity and improve coverage."

"With this new product, we have extended the bandwidth of our programmable links from 6GHz to 8GHz to address the needs of many applications requiring higher bandwidth," added Dr. David Gabbay, VP R&D of RFOptic. "Our 8GHz RF over Fiber link is particularly well-suited for customers looking for 5G, as well as C-band, applications. With its programmable flexibility and increased bandwidth, it is also an excellent choice for applications such as satellite communications, DAS, radar, ODL, and remote antennas."

The RF over Fiber link operates in the frequency range of 500MHz to 8GHz, enabling long-distance RF signal transmission over single-mode fiber. It is commonly used in L, S, and C band applications, such as point-to-point, Wi-Fi, 5G cellular and testing, DAS, and remote antennas. Its compact design and low power consumption make it suitable for both standalone and subsystem applications. The modules are available with FC/APC or SC/APC optical connectors and SMA RF connectors. Each link includes a transmitter and a receiver module, controllable via the RFOptic Configuration Tool application, which provides access to settings, features, and diagnostic parameters.

This software tool can activate built-in temperature compensation algorithms, RF level monitoring, automatic level control, and BIT and RF link test diagnostics. Troubleshooting guides and log files simplify on-site problem handling and support remote technical assistance. In addition to 5G and 6G, applications include drone control and video telemetry, extending DAS 5G coverage into shielded areas like buildings and tunnels. The RF over Fiber link is available as a standalone unit or as a set of links within a chassis.
