Specifications
N
The FOX 500 Tx/Rx consists of a transmitter (FOX 500 Tx)
and a receiver (FOX 500 Rx) with one or two fiber optic cables
linking the two units.
The analog RGB input signal is digitized pixel by pixel in the
transmitter, sent digitally through the fiber cable, and converted
back to analog RGB in the receiver.
The analog audio signal(s) is (are) digitized in the transmitter,
sent through the fiber cable, and converted back to analog audio
in the receiver.
Optical fiber interconnection between transmitter and
receiver
Number/type ................................ 1 or 2 fiber optic
N
Only one fiber is required to transmit video, audio, and
unidirectional data. A second fiber is required to transmit
return data for bidirectional control/communication.
Connectors ..................................... 2 LC connectors
Operating distance ........................ 30 km (18.75 miles) with singlemode (SM)
cables with a FOX 500 Tx/Rx SM
0.5 km (0.3 mile) with multimode (MM)
cables with a FOX 500 Tx/Rx SM
0.15 km (450') with multimode (MM)
cables with a FOX 500 Tx/Rx MM
N
Operating distance is approximate. These are typical
distances. The maximum distance may be greater than these
typical numbers depending on factors such as fiber type, fiber
bandwidth, connector splicing, losses, modal or chromatic
dispersion, environmental factors, and kinks.
Nominal peak wavelength........... 850 nm for FOX 500 Tx/Rx MM,
1310 nm for FOX 500 Tx/Rx SM
Transmission power ...................... -5 dBm, typical
Maximum receiver sensitivity ..... -18 dBm, typical
Optical budget ............................... 13 dB, maximum
N
These transceivers are class 1 laser products. They meet the
safety regulations of IEC-60825, FDA 21 CFR 1040.10, and
FDA 21 CFR 1040.11.
