Foxcom 7050 Fiber Optic Data Transceiver

Foxcom Model 7050 Fiber Optic Data Transceiver is a complete duplex fiber optic link for serial data transmission and remote Monitoring and Control (M&C). Built for on-site communication equipment, testing and measuring systems, redundancy switches, antenna pedestals, and broadcast infrastructure, the Model 7050 provides up to five asynchronous bi-directional serial communication channels over single-mode fiber. The Model 7050 Fiber Optic Data Transceiver is built for communication environments where serial data, equipment status, and control signals need to move reliably between local and remote locations. It provides a complete duplex fiber optic data link for Monitoring and Control of equipment, such as testing and measuring systems, redundancy switches, antenna pedestals, and broadcast systems. The system supports up to five asynchronous bi-directional serial communication channels and optional long-distance transfer of high-rate time and frequency reference. Model 7050 units connect through single-mode fiber optic cables, with RS-485 provided as standard and RS-422 or RS-232 available as protocol options. Alarm outputs and LED indicators provide system status visibility, making the transceiver suitable for hub sites, remote equipment rooms, broadcast facilities, antenna systems, and mission-critical communication infrastructure.

Frequently asked questions

Where is the Model 7050 typically used?

The Model 7050 is typically used in communication sites that require fiber-based data transmission for monitoring and control of equipment, such as redundancy switches, antenna pedestals, testing systems, measuring equipment, and broadcast infrastructure.

How many serial communication channels does this Model support?

The Model 7050 supports up to five asynchronous bi-directional serial communication channels.

What fiber connection does Model 7050 require?

The Model 7050 units connect through single-mode fiber optic cables. Two fibers are required for serial communication, and one additional fiber is required for the high-rate reference link.

Does the Model 7050 support remote Monitoring and Control?

Yes. The Model 7050 supports Monitoring and Control (M&C) over up to five asynchronous bi-directional serial channels. It enables transmission of RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 communication protocols over single-mode fiber, supporting remote connectivity between equipment sites and control locations.

What type of alarm transfer does it provide?

The system transfers Service Requested (SRQ) alarms from the remote site to the hub, supporting remote status awareness.

Does Digisat supply and support Foxcom equipment?

Yes. Digisat supplies Foxcom (Global Foxcom) RF-over-fiber links, chassis, repeaters and fiber components with quote-based pricing for teleports, broadcasters, government and defense buyers, and our engineers can help design the fiber IFL, size the optical budget and integrate it with your antennas, LNBs, BUCs and modems.

Need it installed, aligned or supported?

Digisat engineers install, commission and maintain satellite ground systems for government agencies, teleports and broadcasters worldwide. Request installation or engineering support.
