RF over Fiber
Pro-grade RF over Fiber transmitters and transceivers for Satcom, GPS, WiMAX/LTE, DAS and more.
Our RF over Fiber link modules are trusted by industry leaders and are very cost-effective. These RF to Fiber optic converters use analog over fiber links (one-way and two-way) can theoretically work for most applications, such as Satcom, GPS, WiMAX/LTE, and DAS, but we do have recommendations for their optimum application. Please see the “Recommended Applications” column below. All of our RFoF links and RF Fiber converters are carefully made in the U.S.A. and come with a one year warranty and one year of engineering support.
And if you don’t find exactly what you’re looking for, or if you’re a manufacturer looking to integrate our solutions, please don’t hesitate to use the “Contact Engineering” tab below.

We also offer a full MNS allowing for multiple site management at no additional cost to our Optical Zonu customers. The NMS supports network overview and allows the user to drill down to specific modules with full web UI and GUI in addition to the SNMP that can be integrated with the customer’s existing infrastructure.

Converting analog RF signals into light, then transporting the optical signal over fiber optic cable, is a complex process which requires a high degree of technical know-how and expertise. Incoming RF signals from the antenna or signal source are fed into Optical Zonu’s RF over Fiber Transmitter/Transceiver Module via the 50 Ohm RF connector. The Module contains RF signal conditioning and provides complex impedance matching between 50 Ohm input impedance and the Laser, Laser Bias Control, APC, Monitoring and Alarm electronics. The Transmitter Module utilizes an Intensity Modulation scheme to convert RF signals into light. This modulated light is then transported through an optical fiber to the Optical Receiver Module. The Receiver Module converts the modulated light back into an RF signal. The recovered RF signal is again complex impedance matched and amplified before it becomes available at the output of the Receiver Module.
