Evertz Microsystems 2307LR Miniature L-Band/Wideband Fiber Optic Receiver
Compatible with 2408LT, 7708LT and 7807LT-2 series fiber transmitters
2307LR Miniature Fiber Optic Receiver
The Evertz 2307LR is a fiber optic receiver in a revolutionary miniature form factor. With the same diameter as a BNC connector, and overall length of 3.3” (85mm), it's the smallest RF optical receiver in the industry. It accepts an optical LC connector input on one end, and provides an electrical output on the other.
This F/O receiver attaches to the input of a device without any intermediate cabling required. This essentially offers direct optical input to the connected piece of equipment, without incurring the cost and rack space associated with using conventional optical receivers. The primary application is in providing direct optical inputs to XRF series routers, without requiring external fiber receiver cards.
The LR series receives its power from the same connector that attaches to the input of the companion device, therefore it may also be interfaced to any device that provides LNB voltage at its RF input connector. For example, when connected to a 7703DA16-RF-LNB, a fiber receiver with 16 electrical outputs is created. A 2307 connected to the input of a 7703PA-LNB results in a fiber receiver with a high-powered output and adjustable slope compensation. The unit may also be connected to the DC-biased inputs of devices such as IRD’s, facilitating direct optical input via high-performance optical infrastructure.
