It includes one transmitter module and one receiver module, converting antenna RF signals to a 1310 nm singlemode optical signal for transport over standard ST\/UPC fiber cable up to 10,000 meters. The OPTIX1-S3 is the entry point for RF over fiber antenna extension in wireless microphone and IEM systems, delivering 60 dB of usable dynamic range across UHF, VHF, and 900 MHz frequency bands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe OPTIX1-S3 provides a single channel of RF over fiber conversion — one transmitter module at the antenna end and one receiver module at the rack end. For installations requiring only a single antenna path, or where a second channel will be added later, the OPTIX1-S3 is the appropriate starting point. For a complete A\/B diversity antenna pair, two OPTIX1-S3 kits or the OPTIX2-S3 2-pack are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe transmitter module accepts the RF signal from a directional or omnidirectional antenna via BNC female connector and converts it to an optical signal at 1310 nm. The signal travels over standard singlemode ST\/UPC fiber cable — available separately — to the receiver module, which converts it back to RF for connection to antenna inputs on distribution systems, splitters, or wireless receivers. The BNC female output on the receiver integrates directly with RF Venue DISTRO9 HDR, DISTRO5 HDR, and other standard antenna distribution platforms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7982\/4364\/files\/Optix3.jpg?v=1757951004\" alt=\"RF Venue OPTIX1-S3 – Single-Channel RF over Fiber Antenna Kit - Creation Networks\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe system supports VHF (175–213 MHz), UHF TV band (470–698 MHz), and 900 MHz (900–960 MHz), covering the full spectrum used by professional wireless audio in North America and internationally.
