• The IQOTR31 is designed for use with Class 1 laser systems only. Ensure that all outputs do not exceed Class 1 as doing so will impair the safety of the system and may result in damage to the equipment.
Introduction 1. Introduction 1.1 Module Description The IQOTR31 is a fiber optic transceiver for bi-directional conversion of 3 Gbps, HD, and SD-SDI signals to 1550 nm wavelength optical signals. 1.2 Order Codes The following product order codes are covered by this manual.
IQOTR31 www.snellgroup.com Introduction 1.5 Feature Summary The IQOTR31 provides the following features: • Reclocking for 3 Gbit/s, 1.5 Gbit/s HD-SDI and 270 Mbit/s SDI signals, or asynchronous operation for other frequencies (input range 50 Mbit/s to 3 Gbit/s). • Single mode fiber optic transmitter for 3G HD/SD-SDI and DVB ASI Signals.
Connections 3. Connections This section describes the physical input and output connections provided by the IQOTR31. 3.1 Optical Input (RX IN) Optical input (Rx IN) to the module is via a single SC/PC singlemode panel uniter. 3.2 Electrical Input (SDI IN) Electrical input (SDI IN) to the module is via a single BNC 75 ohm panel jack connector.
Attenuation 5. Attenuation The IQOTR31 has 1550 nm transmission lasers. The lasers have a higher optical power output than the 1310 nm variety. For link distances less than 15 km, this power is suffiecient to saturate receivers. As a precaution, all units with 1550 nm transmission lasers are fitted with a 5 dBm attenuator.
