RFU Overview
Radio Frequency Units (RFUs) were designed with sturdiness,
power, simplicity, and compatibility in mind. These advanced
systems provide high-power transmission for short and long
distances and can be assembled and installed quickly and
easily.
RFU’s used with PTP 820F
The following RFUs can be used with PTP 820F:
•
RFU-D – MultiCore that operates in the 6-42 GHz frequency range, supporting channel bandwidth of 14-112
MHz and modulations of BSPK to 4096 QAM.
•
RFU-D-HP – High-Power MultiCore RFU that operates in the 4-11 GHz frequency range, supporting channel
bandwidth of 14-112 MHz and modulations of BSPK to 4096 QAM.
•
RFU-E – Operates in the E-band frequency range, supporting 71-76 GHz and 81-86 GHz frequencies, channel
bandwidth of 14, 28, 62.5, 125, and 250 MHz, and modulations of BSPK to 1024 QAM.
•
RFU-S – Operates in the 6-42 GHz frequency range, supporting channel bandwidth of 14-112 MHz and
modulations of BSPK to 4096 QAM.
RFU’s used with PTP 820F
The following RFUs can be used with PTP 820G:
•
RFU-C – A state-of-the-art RFU designed for a broad range of interfaces and capacities from 10 Mbps up to 500
Mbps. RFU-C operates in a wide range of spectrum bands, from 6 to 42 GHz. The premium version, RFU-Ce,
provides a range of modulations from QPSK to 2048 QAM. RFU-C and RFU-Ce require RFU SW version: 2.17.
•
1500HP/RFU-HP – 1500HP and RFU-HP are high transmit power RFUs designed for long haul applications with
multiple carrier traffic. Together with their unique branching design, 1500HP and RFU-HP can chain up to five
carriers per single antenna port and 10 carriers for dual port, making them ideal for trunk or multi carrier
applications. The 1500HP and RFU-HP can be installed in either indoor or outdoor configurations. RFU-HP
requires RFU SW version: 5.14. 1500HP requires RFU SW version 8.13a2.
•
RFU-A (including RFU-Ae/Aep) – RFU-A is a high transmit power RFU designed for compact long-haul
applications. RFU-A offers a low scale trunk solution with up to four radio carriers and operates in the
frequency range of 6, 7, 8, and 11 GHz.
2 RFU-A requires RFU SW version: 5.14.
