IKUSI FTD-420
Overview
The IKUSI FTD-420 optical transmitter combines terrestrial television and satellite IF signals onto a single optical fibre for distribution in large collective installations. It provides a complete solution for distributing TV and satellite signals in residential districts, hotels, hospitals, and other multi-dwelling buildings.
The unit transmits a 4 mW signal over single mode optical fibre at 1310 nm, using an ultralinear APC-controlled DFB laser for high signal quality over long distribution distances.
Engineering & Design
The FTD-420 features 2 terrestrial television inputs and a satellite polarity input, broadcasting on a single fibre optic. It accepts a TV input in the 45-862 MHz range and a SAT-IF input in the 950-2150 MHz range, combining both signals with independent OMI settings for TV and SAT-IF stages.
The TV and SAT-IF paths are separate with very high RF amplification gain, and the unit is fully compatible with PAL, SECAM, NTSC, FM, DVB-S, DVB-T, DVB-C, and other television standards. The transmitter is DC powered by a CFP power supply module and can be mounted on baseplates or rack frames of a Class A headend.

Broadcast distribution over fibre solves distance and quality problems, and the IKUSI FTD-420 optical transmitter is built for that task, which is why Seven Star LLC supplies the IKUSI FTD-420 optical transmitter for collective distribution projects.
The IKUSI FTD-420 optical transmitter converts the Ethernet signal of the plant network into the optical signal for the fiber optic link between the two switch cabinets. The unit is powered from the 24 V DC supply of the panel and is connected with the LC connector to the fiber. The status LEDs indicate the link and the data activity of the port.
The FTD-420 transmitter is used in the pair with the corresponding receiver for the fiber link of the plant network, and the units are matched by the wavelength of the optical module. The switch cabinets are connected with the duplex fiber patch cord and the link distance covers the inter-building runs of the site. The unit is mounted on the DIN rail and the power consumption is limited to the LED indicator and the optical stage.
Why Seven Star LLC
Seven Star LLC supplies the IKUSI FTD-420 optical transmitter for broadcast distribution projects across the Gulf, with verified specifications and technical support. Our team assists with headend design, fibre planning, and compatibility with your distribution network.
We support hotels, residential developments, and commercial projects with reliable B2B supply of broadcast and communication equipment.
Distribution Performance
The 1310 nm single mode output and 4 mW DFB laser deliver the optical budget needed for large residential and commercial installations, while the independent OMI settings for TV and SAT-IF stages optimise modulation for each signal type. The separate high-gain RF paths preserve signal quality on both terrestrial and satellite channels.
The wide input ranges, 45-862 MHz for TV and 950-2150 MHz for SAT-IF, cover all current broadcast bands, and the compatibility with PAL, SECAM, NTSC, and DVB standards makes the transmitter usable across international projects.
Why Choose Seven Star LLC for the IKUSI FTD-420 Optical Transmitter
Because the FTD-420 is typically deployed as one half of a matched transmitter-receiver pair linking two switch cabinets over fiber, confirming compatibility with the specific FRD-series receiver on the other end matters as much as the transmitter’s own specification. Seven Star LLC verifies your existing fiber link configuration, including connector type and expected signal band, before confirming an order, so the transmitter and receiver pair correctly across your specific installation rather than requiring troubleshooting after both units are already in place.
For facilities across Oman and the wider GCC building out collective TV and satellite distribution over fiber, whether for a hotel, residential compound, or commercial development, we help plan transmitter and receiver spares together as matched pairs rather than treating them as independently interchangeable stock, since a spare transmitter without a compatible receiver on hand does not actually restore service during a fault. Where a facility is planning a new fiber distribution link or expanding an existing one, we are glad to review the full signal path, LC connector interface, power supply requirements, and expected TV and satellite bands, before confirming equipment for either end of the link.

IKUSI headend and optical modules listed here
Four parts are listed. The FRD-400 is an optical receiver for terrestrial and satellite signals, and the FTD-420 belongs to the same optical family. The CFP-900 is a power supply unit for ClassA headends, and the BAS-700 is the base plate on which ClassA modules are mounted. They are used in the TV distribution networks of hotels, compounds, hospitals and accommodation camps.Ordering IKUSI parts: what we need
Send the model reference printed on the module, for example CFP-900, and the reference number if one is shown beside it. For optical units, state the wavelength, connector type and the number of receivers fed from one transmitter. For headend hardware, list the modules already on the base plate so the power supply capacity can be checked. Buyers in the GCC looking for IKUSI radio remote control parts can send the transmitter and receiver model and serial number, and we will check availability from the manufacturer documentation.Browse IKUSI products by category: Industrial Communications, Power Modules.
