Optix Series 3
OPTIX3 uses the power of light to allow remote RF antennas to be positioned up to several miles from receivers. By converting RF energy to light, you are now able to locate antennas and wireless equipment with greater flexibility than with traditional coaxial cabling.
Remote placement of antennas now available over long distances with no signal loss.
Longer Coax runs require thicker, unwieldy, more expensive cables
With virtually no signal loss over fiber, longer runs are now available and many locations already have fiber runs in place.
OPTIX Series 3 is a high-performance RF over fiber optic (RFoF) conversion system designed to facilitate the remote placement of wireless audio antennas over long distances. The OPTIX Transmitter module converts RF signals arriving from an antenna into a single mode optical signal, sending that signal down a length of fiber-optic cable to the OPTIX Receiver module which converts the source signal back into RF.
Without any signal loss over the optical cable, the OPTIX system can extend the range of antenna placement up to several miles or between floors in buildings, eliminating the need for bulky and lossy coaxial cable runs.
Well-suited for live production as well as installed sound, OPTIX Series 3 features extensive user configurable controls to manage signal level, apply DC power for active antennas or amplifiers, and even directly monitor outputs to dial in performance. Compatible across VHF, UHF, and the 900 MHz band, OPTIX Series 3 is compatible across any brand wireless audio system.
