ODU 300
The Eclipse ODU 300 is a compact, high performance Radio Frequency Unit (RFU) for split-mount microwave applications in frequency bands from 6 to 38 GHz. Environmentally hardened to withstand the toughest conditions, the ODU 300 is designed for maximum reliability, portability and ease of installation.
The ODU 300 is fully transparent to the transmitted payload, supporting any type of traffic, all-IP/Ethernet, all-TDM, or hybrid mixed mode Ethernet alongside TDM. By supporting modulations from QPSK through to 256 QAM, the ODU 300 can support data throughputs up to 462 Mbit/s across any microwave link.
Network designers appreciate the flexibility derived from high transmit power and low receiver threshold performance of the ODU 300 for multiple deployment scenarios in their network - maximum system gain enables longer paths, higher capacity, smaller antennas or a combination of all three.
Designed for split mount installations in conjunction with the Eclipse Packet Node INU/INUe or the compact IDU GE3 16x indoor units, the ODU 300 mounts directly behind the antenna to eliminate waveguide connection losses. A built-in lightning arrestor further protects the unit against lightning strikes without the need for costly external devices.
The Eclipse ODU 300 is designed for maximum reliability, even in the toughest conditions. With its efficient heat dissipation, and fully sealed against the worst outdoor conditions, the ODU 300 has proven field MTBF well in excess of 100 years.
