2408LT

L-Band Outdoor Fiber Transmitter with VistaLINK® and SmartMON™

VistaLINK® enabled Evertz SmartMON™ Enabled

The 2408LT is an outdoor fiber optic transmitter for RF signals in the satellite L-Band or wider frequency range. It accepts a single RF input on coaxial cable and provides a single output for optical transmission. Packaged in a compact, standalone enclosure, the 2408LT is ideal for mounting on or near the satellite dish antenna structure. The -WP version features dust and water protection allowing outdoor mounting without a secondary enclosure. A full-power RF monitor output provides a convenient means of obtaining peak satellite signal strength, or additional signal distribution.

Gain may be adjusted manually or managed automatically via AGC. With SmartMON™, incoming RF signal strength, LNB current, status of connected 2400PSU-8 power supply and other data are relayed over the fiber output for monitoring through SNMP/VistaLINK® (requires SmartMON™ capable companion fiber receiver). The 2408LT also provides a DC pass through mode for LNB power and comprehensive indicators that provide status information on the input DC power and RF drive level as well as LNB power status.

Features
  • Directly mount to antenna structure or other outdoor locations
  • -WP Weatherproof version - does not require secondary enclosure
  • Wide frequency range for extended L-Band and over the air DTV signals
  • Protocol independent design - transports all modulation formats
  • DC pass through and 13VDC modes for LNB power
  • LNB current limit & short circuit protection
  • LNB current monitoring
  • Minimizes coaxial cable length for superior CNR performance
    • 22kHz tone on/off for LNB local oscillator control
    • RF monitor output for signal peaking and signal distribution
    • Manually adjustable or AGC gain modes
    • Tri-color LED status indicators for Link RF drive strength, LNB voltage and DC input voltage level
    • SmartMON™ capability provides remote status monitoring via SNMP without a separate data connection
    • Fiber link provides electrical isolation between antenna and facility mitigating ground loop and lightning issues
