Proprietary Information

Single Mode Fiber 9/125Single mode fibers uses a core diameter of between 8-10µm the

narrow core diameter causes the light to travels in a single path. Single

mode fibers are more efficient and are used in high rate and on long

applications.

Standard SM fiber is optically designed to optimally operate on

1310nm, in this wavelength no dispersion occurs.

Single mode fiber operating on a wavelength 1310nm will have an

optical loss of 0.4dB/km, when operating on 1550nm the loss will be

0.25dB/km.

Proprietary Information

Optical connectors

FOXCOM Uses “SC”, the “FC” the E2000 and the LC.

PC: physical contact or polished connector, For Data units.

APC - Angled Physical Contact, describes a 6-8 degrees angle at

the tip of the connector. For all RF units.

The angel help reducing the optical reflection (optical return loss)

making the connector suitable for RF modulation

Example: FC-APC, SC-PC

Foxcom Model Number PL7220-FC

Iridium Satellite Phone Connectivity

Repeaters For Satellite Phone and GPS

The Challenge

In places where there is no terrestrial infrastructure,

satellite phones fill the gap. Typically, this requires

line-of-sight to a satellite.

What happens when the sat phone user needs

connectivity underground or indoors, and stepping

outside to make the call is not an option?

Proprietary Information I 60

The Solution

Foxcom’s pioneering RF over Fiber

solution is a cost effective alternative

to coax cable. It provides seamless

indoor coverage by connecting

passive outdoor antennas with indoor

repeaters, modems and handsets.

The fiber link enables Iridium satellite

handset users to make multiple and

concurrent calls within any size

building or underground facility.

Bi-directional L-band signals are

converted into optics indoors and

outdoors allowing for antenna

extension of more 6 km.

What’s included in the kit?
