Overview
Product description
BPF-41 series Satellite over Fiber System for the transmission and distribution of the satellite signal of 4 Quattro LNBs over one optical cable core. Professional design with redundant dual power supply, in a 19″ 2RU rack-mountable enclosure.
No regular service and maintenance are needed during operation.
Satellite (L-Band) over Fiber System, 4 Satellites over 1 Optical Fiber Transmitter: BPF-41, Receiver: BFR-41
The new BLANKOM L-Band Fiber Optical Link System consists of a BPF-41 transmitter unit and as many BFR-41 receiver units as needed.
The system is capable of transferring the satellite signals from 4 satellite dish antennas to the Headend, which may be located at a distance of several kilometers from the antenna location.
It’s also capable of distributing the satellite signal from a single dish to multiple sub headends. These can be horizontally distributed across a wide area, but also vertically distributed across a huge building.
Four polarizations of one LNB and a full 47-860 MHz band terrestrial RF signal are being transmitted over one optical fiber core.
The system is of a fully professional design and is capable of many years of operation without a regular maintenance need.

Features & capabilities
Features
The fiber optic transmitter is for standard quattro LNB usage to deliver up to 4 SAT positions (+ terrestrial) via 1 CWDM.
The system can be used to transport the satellite signal of 4 satellite dish antennas to the Headend, which can be kilometers away from the antenna location.
It can also be used to distribute the satellite signal of 4 dishes to multiple sub headend locations. These can be horizontally distributed in a wide area, but also vertically distributed in a huge building.
4 polarizations of 4 LNBs and a full 47-860 MHz band terrestrial RF signal are being transported over one optical fiber core.
The system is of fully professional design for many years’ operation without regular maintenance need.
