The product is a frequency translator that supports output frequencies up to 777.60 MHz. The input frequency range is from 333 Hz to 170 MHz, and it supports frequencies such as 8 kHz, 1.544 MHz, 2.048 MHz, 19.440 MHz, etc. It can be applied to SONET/SDH/ATM, DWDM/FDM, DSL-PON Interconnects, FEC (Forward Error Correction) and other scenarios.
The FX‑104 Frequency Translator from Vectron International translates a wide range of input frequencies (8 kHz – 170 MHz) to a selectable output band from 170 MHz up to 777.6 MHz. It supports HCMOS, LVHCMOS, PECL and LVPECL inputs and can handle up to four different input frequencies simultaneously.
The device is supplied in a compact 25.4 × 20.32 × 6.35 mm surface‑mount package, operates from either 5 Vdc or 3.3 Vdc, and meets stringent jitter and tracking specifications (GR‑253‑CORE, +40 ppm tracking, 0.1 dB jitter transfer). Ordering options allow selection of supply voltage, output frequency, and input logic levels.
