Westell ProtectLink™ CS40-PLV2FIBER

Westell ProtectLinkV2 Fiber DAS HE (headend) and RE (remote end) units

ResourcesRequest Info

Westell’s ProtectLinkV2 Fiber DAS headend (HE) and remote end (RE) units enable reliable fiber-to-RF conversion and communication between headend and remote units in public safety DAS deployments.

The ProtectLinkV2 Fiber HE connects to existing bi-directional amplifiers (BDAs) using low-level RF uplink and downlink coax connections. It then distributes signals over single-mode fiber to remote units, extending coverage efficiently across a building or campus.

Each HE supports up to four remote units and allows expansion through daisy chaining via dual RS-485 ports, enabling scalable system growth.

Designed for UHF and VHF public safety applications, ProtectLinkV2 integrates seamlessly with BDAs and optical remote units (ORUs) to deliver reliable fiber-based signal distribution.

Key Capabilities

  • Fiber-to-RF conversion between headend and remote units
  • Supports up to four remotes per headend via single-mode fiber
  • Daisy-chain expansion using RS-485 for additional remote capacity
  • Compatible with UHF and VHF public safety systems
  • Connects to BDAs using low-level RF coax uplink and downlink

Compatible Systems

  • ProtectLink CS40 Series UHF BDA (Class A/B)
  • ProtectLink CS40 Series VHF BDA (Class A/B)

Applications

  • Fiber DAS deployments for UHF and VHF public safety networks
  • Extending BDA coverage across large buildings or campuses
  • Scalable in-building coverage for emergency communications
