RF Fiber Optic Link
DATASHEET | OCTOBER 2013
SATCOM
EMCORE’s openGear^® OPG-1L RF Fiber Optic Links are optimized
to perform in the 50 MHz to 2.3 GHz frequency range providing
transparent signal transport for satellite antenna applications on an
open architecture platform.
The OPG-1L transmitter and receiver modules may be housed in the
same chassis as EMCORE’S openGear^® HD video, audio, serial data
and USB extension / distribution cards, allowing full monitoring and control of
each module via the DashBoard Network Management System (NMS).

System Design
The OPG-1L was designed to be fully compatible
with the openGear^® standard for terminal equip-
ment or cable headend design. This means that
when you install an openGear^® enclosure, you
can then purchase additional insert cards from
different manufacturers to be used in the same enclosure. The standard enclosure
is a 19” rack-mount frame that can hold up to 20 insert cards. A separate module
handles the management and control systems, and allows for local or remote
interfaces. Each enclosure utilizes 2 RU of rack space, maximizing the overall usage
of the equipment rack.
The OPG-1L’s Rear Interface Modules may be pre-installed with its cabling, with-
out corresponding PCBA cards. This allows the user to anticipate future expansion
needs without significantly increasing the intial investment, and without having to
access the rear panel and cabling once installed. The user simply purchases corre-
sponding PCBA cards on an as-needed basis then slides them into place from the
front of the frame, effortlessly locking them into the Rear Interface Module.
