ETL Systems GENUS StingRay Broadband RF over Fiber Modules | 50–3150 MHz

ETL Systems GENUS StingRay Broadband RF over Fiber Modules | 50–3150 MHz

The ETL Systems GENUS StingRay SRY-G1S-TB3-171 transmitter and SRY-G1S-RB3-172 receiver modules transport broadband RF signals over single-mode fiber for links up to 10 km.

Designed for compatible GENUS chassis, each module occupies one slot and supports fixed, manual or automatic gain control. The transmitter provides switchable 13/18 VDC LNB power and a 22 kHz control tone. Optional chassis reference hardware enables internal or external 10 MHz reference injection onto the L-band feed. Control and monitoring are available through the host chassis, including SNMPv3 and HTTPS.
