Intellian Fiber Link (Ethernet) with an Integrated ACU for v240MT FO-1V67

Fiber-Based Antenna Connection

The FO-1V67 carries Ethernet communications over fiber between the v240MT antenna installation and compatible below-deck equipment. Fiber supports longer cable routes while avoiding the electromagnetic interference and grounding concerns associated with copper Ethernet cabling.

This is particularly useful aboard larger vessels where the antenna and communications room may be separated by substantial distance or where the cable route passes near power and machinery systems.

Integrated Antenna Control Unit

Unlike a basic fiber media-conversion package, the FO-1V67 includes an integrated Antenna Control Unit. The ACU provides the control and monitoring interface for the antenna, reducing the need for a separate standalone ACU within the below-deck installation.

The package is identified as containing the above-deck fiber-link equipment and integrated ACU. Exact internal modules and connection accessories should be confirmed against the Intellian packing list supplied with the system.

Designed for the v240MT

The FO-1V67 is configured specifically for the Intellian v240MT. The v240MT is a 2.4-meter maritime VSAT platform capable of operating across C-, Ku-, and Ka-band configurations and tracking GEO and MEO satellite networks.

Because Intellian offers several fiber-link packages for different 2.4-meter antennas and system generations, the antenna model and FO-1V67 part number should be verified before ordering.

Professional Fiber Installation

Installation should be completed by qualified maritime satellite and fiber-optic technicians. Fiber cables must be selected with the correct type and connectors and installed with suitable bend-radius control, strain relief, mechanical protection, and cable glands.

The complete installation may also require vessel-length fiber cable assemblies, AC power connections, modem cabling, network equipment, mounting hardware, and deck penetrations. These requirements depend on the vessel layout and final v240MT configuration.
