Product Description
The OZ600 is a cost-effective broadband (30MHz ~3GHz) RF over Fiber compact standalone flange mount module that can be configured as a transmitter, a dual transmitter, a receiver, a dual receiver, or a transceiver (transmitter + receiver) based on the application requirement. Fiber links can be configured for unidirectional or two-way bidirectional RF to Optical and Optical to RF link.
The OZ600 is an excellent alternative to using coaxial cable systems as it offers a wide dynamic range and supports RF transport in situations where transport distance or flexibility of cabling may prohibit the use of coaxial cable. The OZ600 provides significant improvements in the transport of high frequency RF signals in their native format reliably across a broad range of frequencies. It has low Noise Figure (NF) and high Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR), with operational frequencies from 30 MHz to 3.0 GHz, or more.

The mechanical form-factor of OZ600 is a very compact design with rugged dust-tight cast metal housing and enables it to integrate easily into new or existing platform. Also, the installation process is free simple as it is RFoF plug and play device.
It has a very low failure rate with an MTTF at room temperature of 20 years. Virtually any analog RF signal which falls within its bandwidth range can be transported over fiber optic cable using the OZ600 modules.
Typical applications in which the OZ600 may be utilized include, but are not limited to, IF GPS, VHF/UHF, Satcom Band, Public Safety, 4G/5G Cellular, L Band, signal distribution over fiber and other custom RF over Fiber solutions.
All OZ600 modules are equipped with a Manual Gain Control (MGC) for adjustment of end-to-end RF link gain and optimizing the receiver output RF level. The OZ600 features a linear optically isolated DFB laser diode operating at 1310 nm or 1550 nm and/or a high performance InGaAs photodiode. WDM and CWDM wavelengths are available.
Standard transport is over 9/125 μm Single Mode Fiber, however, the OZ600 supports Multimode fiber transport as an option (contact Optical Zonu for details). The standard RF interface is 50 Ohm SMA and the standard optical interface is SC/APC (FC/APC is also available).
Average Automatic Power Control (AAPC) provides closed loop control of the transmitter optical output power over the full operating temperature range.
Alarm and monitoring functions are available through a DB9 connector. LEDs provide status of laser bias current (transmitter) and received optical power (receiver).
The OZ600 module is powered from +12 VDC.
