FORAX connects radios to antennas over very long distances using
secure fi ber optic cable
FORAX – LSRIU & AIU each
Lightweight1.5 lbs. (0.69 Kg)
Small 6.5” x 2.75” x 2”
(166mm x 70mm x 51mm)
The versatile, second-generation FORAX-LS is a high performance alternative to conventional coaxial cable, affording greater fl exibility in antenna location plus electrical isolation from the user’s radio or repeater. The antenna can be located up to 10 km away while the radio/repeater remains near the user, enhancing the physical security of both the equipment and its user.
FORAX-LS is optimized to operate with radios used for tactical communications by US and allied forces. FORAX-LS transports all VHF and UHF communications waveforms including SRW, ANW2, SINCGARS, ANDVT, AM/FM voice, and Commercial & Military SATCOM.
FORAX-LS consists of a Radio Interface Unit (RIU) connected by a user-supplied optical fi ber cable to an Amplifi er Interface Unit (AIU). The RIU connects to the radio’s antenna port using a coaxial cable. At the antenna site, the AIU connect to the customer’s high-power amplifi er (HPA) with a coaxial cable.
Protect your communication assets – Let FORAX put distance between your antennas and radios
up to 10 km
