The KTX transmitter and KRX receiver allow a forward path fibre optic link. This system allows the
distribution of analogue and digital signals (on either terrestrial or satellite IF bands) over communication
networks where the classic coax solutions are prohibitive for example in historical buildings with architectural
hindrances, holiday villages between bungalows or residential groups of buildings.
The KTX module uses a Distributed Feedback Braggs (DFB) laser which compared to the LED sources used
in digital optical communications guarantees higher optical beam coherence, allowing transmissions up to
20Km.
KTX and KRX are built in a die cast modular "K series" housing and are installed on a standard DIN bar
(product:KD100). Both products can be powered by one K series power supply (see Figure 1).

Recommendation:
Connect all input and output
cables to the device before
powering to avoid damaging the
