The modem must be matched to 75 Ohm impedance. ? RF Link gain must be between -2dBm to +2dBm ? Modem optical interfaces must be SM FC/APC ? Modem RF interfaces must be N type ? Ethernet interface must be 8x8 Rj45 ? Link will be modeled for 1--- meters ? The input to the optical transmitter must be capable of withstanding signal levels of -40 to 0dBm(+10dBm as absolute maximum) (RF Uplink) ? RF Downlink maximum RF input to fiber optic transmitter is less than 0dBm. ? Modems must operate in temperatures of -30 Degrees C to 75 Degrees C. ? Modems will be designed to fit in standard 19 inch rack mounts, with front and rear supports. Along with the material support of acquiring the modems the 112th requires technical support in order to ensure that this equipment is compatible with their Phoenix Satellite Communications Systems: Pre-Engineering Support: Vendor will be required to visit the installation location, 112th Signal Battalion, Fort Bragg, NC and meet with the 112th engineers to determine specific engineering and functionality requirements of the Fiber to RF modems.
