Overview
F-tone Networks provides wideband fiber optic analogtransmitterand receiver module that achieves highperformance photoelectric conversion. They also offerlong haul transmission of the complete solution. F-tone Networks made it to the highest performance as a cost-effective alternative to coaxial cable or a long transmission distance microwave signal repeater. Typical applications includemilitary phase array antenna, satellite communications, space measurement, wireless distributed antenna system (DAS) and other microwave related system.
Absolute maximum rating
These values represent the damage threshold of the module. Stress in excess of any of the individual Absolute Maximum Ratings can cause immediate catastrophic damage to the module even if all other parameters are within Recommended Operating Conditions.
