2408LT Standalone L-Band Fiber Optic Transmitter OVERVIEW The 2408LT is a fiber optic transmitter used for transporting L-Band satellite signals over a fiber optic cable. The 2408LT accepts one L-Band RF input on an F-Type connector and provides a fiber optic output.
2408LT Standalone L-Band Fiber Optic Transmitter INSTALLATION The 2408LT comes in a die cast enclosure with integral mounting flanges. It is recommended that the enclosure be mounted on a flat surface with the connectors facing down. For units with the -WP option...
FC/APC female connector with the optical output from the 2408LT. This connector should be connected to the FIBER IN connector of an appropriate Evertz companion receiver model at the destination end with a suitable fiber optic cable. The 2408LT transmits on the 1310 wavelength unless otherwise indicated by the wavelength label.
Background colour: yellow Triangular band: black Symbol: black 2.2.2. Assembly Assembly or repair of the laser sub-module is done only at Evertz facility and performed only by Evertz technical personnel. 2.2.3. Labeling Certification and Identification labels are combined into one label.
2408LT Standalone L-Band Fiber Optic Transmitter 3.5. PHYSICAL Dimensions (with flanges): 5.4"L x 2.4"W x 1.2"H (138mm L x 61mm W x 31mm H) Dust and Water Protection: IP65 (-WP version only) 3.6. SYSTEM PERFORMANCE (WHEN COMBINED WITH A 7708LRA)
2408LT Standalone L-Band Fiber Optic Transmitter STATUS INDICATORS The 2408LT module has three LED status indicators on the front of the box to show operational status of the module at a glance. 4.1. RF DRIVE INDICATOR HIGH: The RF DRIVE LED will be RED when the incoming RF signal plus the module gain is overdriving the laser.
2408LT Standalone L-Band Fiber Optic Transmitter 4.2. LNB POWER INDICATOR SHORT: The LNB PWR LED will be RED if the connected load is in a short circuit or overload condition. DC PASS: The LNB PWR LED will be GREEN when the LNB power mode is set to DC PASS. In this mode, DC input from the connected power supply is fed to the LNB.
2 dB gain change, with position 0 being AGC mode. AGC will maintain the output of the 2408LT at a constant level even if the input signal level changes, but remains within the AGC hold range.
