Product Description

The PL7620 RF Amplifiers provide the capability to integrate a pre- or post-amplifier as a part of the IFL system. Using an RF Amplifier allows a full system solution with guaranteed overall system performance over long distances.

As a:

Pre-amplifier the PL7620 ensures a high C/N by providing the optical transmitter with sufficient RF to optimally drive the laser.
Post amplifier, the PL7620 assures a constant high signal level RF output

The PL7620 has an integral input/output RF power meter and is fully compatible with the Sat-Light/Platinum M&C SNMP system.
