Introduction
The true "Swiss Army Knife" of fiber optic transport, the FOI-6010 in conjunction with any combination of a
myriad of FiberPlex or third party SFP/SFP+ (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) optical & electrical transceiver
modules, allows you to transport what you want, when you want it, how you want it, wherever you want it; all
over one product solution... The FiberPlex FOI-6010 and SFP/ SFP+ module should be in everyone's toolbox.

Theory of Operation
Many sorts of interfaces, not just fiber, are now available in the SFP/SFP+ format, including Full HD video and
networking. On the user, connector side, they support the signals appropriate to those protocols, but then
convert them internally to a standard stream of high-speed serial data. The FOI/TD-6010 connects those
standard streams together, so that the different interface protocols can talk the same language.
Since the fiber-based SFPs are the most generic, it is usually possible to connect, not only two different copper
interfaces together in the same FOI/TD-6010, but also to interpose a fiber link between them. Since the range
of signals over fiber is so much greater than that of copper, this allows significant expansion of the range of
those protocols.
SFPs also have an additional, low-speed serial interface that provides identification, monitoring and also
control of the devices through the processor in the FOI/TD-6010.
The FOI-6010and TD-6010 support transceiver SFP and SFP+ ONLY. For non-MSA dual TX and dual RX SFP
and SFP+ use the FOI-6012 or TD-6012.
Differences between FOI-6010 and TD-6010
Functionally, the FOI-6010 and TD-6010 are identical. The only differences are the packaging and power
supply. The FOI-6010 is part of the FOI line of products designed for ruggedized mil applications. It is housed in
the familiar FOI shielded can enclosure. For standalone applications it can be powered by adding a PSQ-4909
AC supply or a PSQ-4920 DC power supply (not included). Optionally, up to 8 FOI units can be mounted on
CMA chassis adapters and installed in an RMC-3101 or RMC-2101 rack mount chassis. The units are powered
redundantly by a common back plane connection.
The TD-6010 is housed in the commercial 'Throw Down' packaging. This version is designed to be a workhorse
unit in various commercial and industrial environments. It is powered either by a 9VDC 'Wall Wart' style
supply (included) or via bussed power supplied through an integrated three-pin Phoenix™ connector. Up to six
TD-6010 units can be installed in the optional 1U TDR-01 rack shelf.
