So today I fibred up my 1.8m Raven thats at the bottom of my garden, It was on 3 x 100m WF125 cables under the ground.
I was quite happy with the signal but adding more receivers was only really possible via loop out or adding a forth cable and using a Quattro - but I decided to fibre it instead.
Outside Before:
Outside Now:
Inside Now:
So inside, I have a 4 way optical splitter, with two Quad units at the moment providing 8 receivers with full access to the bands. Future upgrade to 16 if needed.
So what does all this mean, what are the results.. Well here we go.
Here are some channels from 10e, Weather was pretty much the same between the two scans, The top is copper, the bottom is fibre.
A more dynamic test, The temporary Formula E feed currently on 10E:
Im quite pleased with these results - I was going to be happy with identical db levels, because after all the advantage is having up to 16 receivers not 3. But the fact the db is higher is a big plus. Very pleased.
