IKUSI FRD-400 Optical Receiver for Terrestrial and Satellite

Overview

The IKUSI FRD-400 is an optical receiver designed for professional TV distribution networks, converting an optical signal from a headend or remote source back into a high-level RF output. It covers both terrestrial and satellite bands — 47-882 MHz and 950-2150 MHz — with a single optical input, and delivers a high-level RF output suitable for feeding amplifiers and distribution networks that serve many subscribers or rooms.

Seven Star LLC supplies the IKUSI FRD-400 optical receiver for MATV, CATV, and SMATV projects across the Sultanate of Oman and the GCC. Fibre-fed distribution is the standard for large hospitality complexes, residential communities, and campus installations, and our team supports integrators with genuine IKUSI hardware, technical documentation, and regional delivery to Muscat, Sohar, Salalah, and beyond.

Operating Principle

In fibre-fed TV distribution, the optical signal is carried from the headend over single-mode fibre to distribution points across the building or campus. The FRD-400 receives that optical signal through its optical input and converts it back to the RF domain, reconstructing the full channel line-up — terrestrial channels in the 47-882 MHz band and satellite channels in the 950-2150 MHz band.

The receiver output is delivered at high level so that it can drive the downstream RF distribution network directly: trunk and distribution amplifiers, taps, and the coaxial plant that reaches each subscriber or guest room. Because the same receiver handles both terrestrial and satellite bands, a single fibre-fed point can serve the complete channel line-up without separate receivers per band.

Engineering Design of the IKUSI FRD-400

The FRD-400 is built as a compact, professional-grade receiver module for headend racks and distribution cabinets. Its single optical input simplifies fibre planning: one fibre from the headend serves the terrestrial and satellite content of the whole network, and the high-level RF output is designed to feed subsequent amplification stages without additional pre-amplification.

Manufactured by IKUSI (Fagor Multimedia Solutions), the FRD-400 is identified by reference 4914 and EAN 8435136449140. Using genuine IKUSI optical receivers keeps the network within the system’s design rules and simplifies spare management, because the complete reception chain is documented and supported by one manufacturer.

Key Features

The IKUSI FRD-400 is specified for fibre-fed TV distribution where both terrestrial and satellite channels must be delivered over one fibre. Its defining characteristics are:

• Optical receiver covering terrestrial band 47-882 MHz and satellite band 950-2150 MHz.
• Single optical input simplifies fibre plant design and reduces fibre usage.
• High-level RF output for feeding distribution amplifiers and large networks.
• Suitable for MATV, CATV, and SMATV distribution in large buildings and communities.
• Professional-grade construction for rack and cabinet installation.
• Genuine IKUSI (Fagor Multimedia Solutions) hardware, reference 4914, EAN 8435136449140.
• Complete channel line-up delivered from one fibre-fed point.
• Supplied by Seven Star LLC for projects across Oman and the GCC.

Industrial Applications

The FRD-400 is used in fibre-fed distribution networks serving hotels and resort complexes, residential communities, hospitals, universities, and commercial campuses. In Oman and the GCC, long cable runs and large subscriber counts make fibre distribution the reliable choice: the optical link has no distance-related signal loss issues of long coaxial trunk runs, and the receiver at each distribution point restores a high-level RF signal for the local coaxial plant.

Seven Star LLC supports integrators across the Sultanate of Oman and the GCC with the IKUSI FRD-400 and the complete IKUSI distribution range. We provide hardware on request, network design guidance, and manufacturer documentation, so projects from Muscat to Salalah are built on documented components.

Why Choose Seven Star LLC for the IKUSI FRD-400 Optical Receiver

The FRD-400 handles both terrestrial and satellite signal conversion from a single optical input, so confirming your facility’s actual signal distribution architecture before ordering matters, since the receiver needs to be correctly positioned within your fiber distribution network relative to the headend and downstream distribution amplifiers. Seven Star LLC verifies your specific terrestrial and satellite band requirements against the FRD-400’s supported ranges before shipment, and helps confirm compatibility with your existing IKUSI or Fagor Multimedia Solutions equipment already in service, since signal distribution systems are typically built up over time from a consistent equipment family.

For facilities such as hotels, residential compounds, and commercial developments across Oman and the wider GCC distributing both terrestrial and satellite television signals over fiber, we help plan optical receiver placement and spares around your actual distribution topology, so a single receiver failure does not take down signal distribution to an entire building or zone. Where a facility is expanding its fiber distribution network or adding additional satellite sources, we are glad to review your current architecture before recommending additional receivers or related distribution equipment.

Fibre Network Planning with the FRD-400

In fibre-fed distribution, plan one FRD-400 at each point where the optical signal must be converted back to RF for local coaxial distribution. Verify the optical budget of the link and the band plan of the network, since the receiver covers the terrestrial band from 47-882 MHz and the satellite band from 950-2150 MHz. Our team at Seven Star LLC supports integrators with network design guidance, datasheets, and lead times confirmed at quotation so that fibre-fed TV projects across Oman and the GCC can be planned on schedule.
