Passive RF & Optical Cards

This new range of carrier cards, from ViaLite, has been designed for RF and/or optical devices. The cards offer expanded capabilities and simple, streamlined integration in rack-mounted applications. Numerous small form-factor passive devices are often required for complex RF over fiber systems and the Passive RF and Optical Cards allow for their easy management. Configurations available include: 5 MHz to 1 GHz Splitter, L-Band Splitter, CWDM Multiplexer, Dual 10 MHz / L-Band Diplexer.

Expands capabilities for the 3U rack chassis and ODE-B3U enclosure
Space-saving; reduces the need for external modules
Designed for Satcom – connections to the rear IO panel
Allows connectivity for Monitoring & Control (M&C)
New devices can be added to the range with minimal effort
-10 to +70 °C operating temperature
5-year warranty

Passive RF and Optical Cards Range

A range of carrier cards are available as follows.

HRG-1-AA

RF 5 MHz to 1 GHz Combiner/Splitter.
Signals pass between the common and IO ports and the two IO ports are isolated.

HRG-1-AB

Extended L-Band (400-3000 MHz) Combiner / Splitter.
Signals pass between the common and IO ports and the two IO ports are isolated.

HRG-7-AA

Optical CWDM multiplexer with 1 common port and 5 wavelength specific ports.
Wavelengths filtered: 1310 nm, 1470 nm, 1510 nm, 1550 nm, 1590 nm.
Uses free-space optics to achieve very low loss and channel selection ensures excellent isolation between them.
All connections at the rear interface are LC/APC.

HRG-S-AA

Dual 10 MHz / L-Band diplexer.
Often used in various Satcom configurations for applying 10 MHz along with RF to a BUC and LNB.
Uses SMA connections for all ports.

As well as Satcom, these cards are also suitable for defense, GPS/GNSS, disaster recovery, public utilities and marine applications.
