Default RF/microwaves over Fiberoptic cable???

I fiber many channels of RF in the course of my job and found Miteq a
bit over rated and extra pricey. I’ll stick with ORTEL for reliable
RF/Fiber links.

For antenna remoting, etc RF-over-fiberoptic we found www.miteq.com is the
best, somehwhat EXPENSIVE but tech specs are best in the world (noise, gain
flatness, etc). As you know fiberoptic is the ONLY solution for LOSSLESS &
SAFE transmitting RF over a long distance e.g. from antennas, on
ship/aircraft, etc because first unlike Coax cable fiber doesn't suffer from
excessive loss (you can have a 10-kilometer link no problem!), second it's
hard to intercept (if you break fiber it iwll be notices, while Coax cable
can be tapped in illegally), third it's immensely interference-immune, etc,
etc. though mor eexpensive.

That we found perfcect for Antenna remoting when facilities cannot be built
near each antenna (antenna array), also for spying/military application
fiber is safer than coax cble, and finally on aircrafts, etc you would
prefer fiberoptic due to its immunity to interference (life-safety issues).
So www.miteq.com I found by clicking on "components & assemblies" (NOT
satellite comm)--the clicked "fiberoptic products", they even posted
datasheets and brochures there (maybe too much info!)
