Description
The SPECTRALinx Model 2990 provides an economical solution for transporting digital signals for numerous satellite distribution applications, including headend relocation, distribution of digital broadcast systems (DBS), and distribution for personal communication services (PCS). The system utilizes a cost-effective coax cabling configuration to distribute the RF signals from the dish to the transmitter and from the receiver to the headend. The single-mode optical fiber between the 2990 transmitter and receiver allows transmission distances to 35 km for the 1310 nm version, and the 1550 nm transmitter allows transmission distance over 60 km. Furthermore, using LNB power from the transmitter decreases the need for additional equipment at the dish site. RF alarm and indicator LEDs allow for a quick assessment of the link’s operational status. The SPECTRALinx Model 2990 L-Band Transport System, whether used in an antenna remoting application or in a satellite distribution role, provides for transmission of the entire DBS spectrum in a simplified, flexible installation environment at one of the lowest costs found in today’s market.
