This 2-pack contains two complete transmitter\/receiver channel sets, enabling diversity antenna configurations for wireless microphone systems across singlemode fiber runs up to 10,000 meters. The OPTIX Series 3 delivers a 60 dB usable dynamic range, making it a reliable solution for large venues, campus installations, and broadcast facilities where coaxial cable runs are impractical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe OPTIX2-S3 RF-over-fiber system solves one of the most persistent challenges in large-scale wireless audio deployments: antenna placement over long distances without signal degradation. Each transmitter module converts RF signals from a connected antenna into a 1310 nm singlemode optical signal, which is then transmitted over standard ST\/UPC singlemode fiber to the companion receiver module. The receiver reconverts the optical signal back to RF with minimal loss and noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 2-pack version provides both channels needed for a complete A\/B diversity antenna pair — the standard configuration required by most wireless microphone and IEM systems. Each channel set operates independently, so the TX and RX modules of each set can be placed at opposite ends of a fiber run of virtually any length up to 10 km.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7982\/4364\/files\/Optix3_bf63b0db-55f9-440a-b6bd-d39fef0ea559.jpg?v=1757951007\" alt=\"RF Venue OPTIX2-S3 – Dual-Channel RF over Fiber Antenna Kit - Creation Networks\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe system operates across the full UHF TV band (470–698 MHz), VHF frequencies (175–213 MHz), and 900 MHz bands (900–960 MHz), supporting virtually all professional wireless audio equipment. BNC female connectors on all RF ports ensure compatibility with the industry-standard cabling used by RF distribution systems, splitters, and antenna combiners.

The fiber cable is not included with the kit and must be purchased separately. Standard telecommunications-grade singlemode fiber is compatible and widely available from AV cabling suppliers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the OPTIX2-S3 be used with IEM transmitters?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The OPTIX Series 3 is designed for receive-path antenna signals only (passive, one-way, from antenna to distribution system). Connecting an IEM, IFB, or intercom transmitting device without proper attenuation can exceed the maximum RF input power and will void the warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the OPTIX2-S3 compatible with all wireless microphone brands?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the system is brand-agnostic. Any wireless audio receiver operating in the supported frequency ranges (VHF 175–213 MHz, UHF 470–698 MHz, 900 MHz 900–960 MHz) with a 50-ohm RF input can use this system.

The OPTIX1-S3 is a single-channel kit with one TX and one RX module. Most diversity wireless systems require two antenna paths (A and B), so the OPTIX2-S3 is typically the correct choice for a complete diversity setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the OPTIX2-S3 require any special power source?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach module requires 12.25 VDC, with a wide input voltage tolerance of 5–22 V. Four 12 VDC power supply units are included in the 2-pack.
