Setting up and understanding the fibre optic link
This section describes the connections between your RF fibre optic transmitter (electrical
– optical
converter) and receiver (optical - electrical converter) modules, and the operation of both modules in a
system.
Please read fully all relevant documents for information on installing your
ViaLiteHD
equipment
before commissioning your RF fibre optic link system.
2.1.1
RF connectors
ViaLiteHD
Blue2 Link is fitted with 50 Ohm female SMA connectors.
The SMA connector is a semi-precision sub-miniature RF and microwave connector and to maintain
performance up to 8GHz, ensure that when not in use, the supplied RF connector dust caps are fitted.
If any dust or dirt is visible within the connector body, cleaning with compressed air before mating is
advised.
When attaching cables to these RF connectors, a torque wrench should be used to guarantee
tightening to 1.0 Nm.
2.1.2
Blue2 Link Module
The Blue2 Link is an RF over fibre module available for both the transmitter and receiver. The 15-way
D-type connector provides connectivity for the Tx or Rx alarms, I2C setup using the
ViaLiteHD
Programming Kit(HRx-HD-DEV103).
