Our point2point
range is a versatile fibre optic link system for use in a wide
range of test and instrumentation applications such as EMC
testing and High Energy Physics diagnostics. Modules are
available in a range of configurations, data formats and
frequency ranges.
The point2point system handles any
combination of bandwidth or data formats. The 19” chassis
accommodates up to 10 plug-in modules while individual remote
modules are available in standard or electromagnetically
shielded housings.

System Configuration
A typical point2point link configuration consists of
a Transmitter connected to a Receiver via a Fibre Optic Cable. The
user can apply an electrical signal to the Transmitter which
converts this to an optical signal for transmission to the
Receiver. At the Receiver, the signal is converted back into
an electrical signal.Transmitter and Receiver units can be supplied
in Remote, Shielded Remote or in Rack Mount Module
options.

- High speed serial and parallel digital transmission
- Portable, transportable and fixed installations
- Transmission of control signals
- Long haul transmission distances
(>10km)
Benefits of
Fibre Optic Links
-
Immunity to
electrical interference
-
Non-conductive – does not conduct interference and
provides high voltage isolation Highly flexible and small
diameter cable
-
Advantages over coaxial cable:
-
Lower cost
-
Very low loss
-
Small size and weight
-
Modular concept for maximum flexibility.
-
Multiple channel 19" Rack Case for up to 10 plug-in
modules.
-
Standard and Heavy Duty Fibre Optic Cable options.
-
Rack Mount or compact Remote and Shielded Remote
Module housing options.
-
Shielded Remote housings offer very high electrical
shielding. |
