Introduction 

The  Outdoor  Enclosure  type  MINI  (ODE-MINI),  is  a  cost-effective  weatherproof  enclosure  for 

ViaLiteHD

 

systems and associated hardware. It is intended to service the requirements of most GPS timing and satellite 
communication systems though can be configured to suit a wide range of other applications. 
 
The ODE-MINI system is comprised of the following key parts:  

 

IP-65 rated external enclosure fitted with: 

 

Dual power supplies (redundancy or power sharing) 

 

Capacity for up to two 

ViaLiteHD

 OEM modules with front panel connections 

 

Termination of input power cable (inside the supplied quick release latching connector) 

 

Patch box for termination of optical cable (various quad fibre cable lengths available) 

 

Connectorised RF inputs / outputs. 

 
It has a wide range of optional accessories including: 

 

Lightning suppressor(s) 

 

Optical cable 

 

Wall or pole mount fixings. 
 

ViaLiteHD

  RF  Fibre  Optic  Links  (FOLs)  are  a  family  of  fibre  optically  coupled  link  systems  designed  for  the 

transmission of RF analogue signals over long distances for the communications market.   
 

ViaLite

 is a product brand manufactured by Pulse Power and Measurement Ltd (PPM). 

ViaLite Communications 

is a division of

 

Pulse Power and Measurement Ltd (PPM). 

 

1.1 

Typical deployment 

A typical system operates as follows. 
 
The  ODE-MINI  would  house  a  set  of  FOL  TX  modules,  in  a  remote  outdoor  location  connected  to  antenna 
equipment.    Antenna  electrical  signals  are  input  to  the  transmitter  modules,  which  contain  RF  signal 
conditioning  and  laser  control  circuitry.    The  modules  modulate  the  intensity  of  a  beam  of  light  with  the  RF 
signal for optical transport over a fibre optic cable. 
 
The  light  travels  through  the  optical  fibres  to  corresponding  receiver  modules.    The  distance  between 
transmitter and receiver can range from 1 m to 100 km; distance in excess of 100 km can be achieved  with 
more complex optical transport systems, depending on the system specified. 
 
The  receiver  module  converts  the  modulated  light  back  into  an  electrical  signal,  which  is  available  at  its 
output. 

1.2 

ViaLiteHD compatibility 

The RF and optical interfaces are compatible with all 

ViaLiteHD

 Blue modules.   

 
 
Contact 

ViaLite Communications

 or your local 

ViaLite 

agent for more details.   

 
 

1.3 

Care of fibre optic connectors 

When  the  fibre  optic  cables  are  not  connected,  it  is  essential  that  the  cable  and  equipment  connectors  are 
protected by the dust caps provided with the system.  Failure to do so may result in damage to the fibre ends, 
which are critical to the system performance.  Please refer to section 1.4 for fibre optic cable handling details.
