The FESTIVAL BOX is the perfect backbone transport system for a wide range of professional audio or data signals including proprietary fiber protocols (i.e. Optocore), Ethernet-based Cat5 or fiber protocols (such as Dante, AVB or ArtNET) or other proprietary or standard protocols. The huge selection of professional signals supported in a single FESTIVAL BOX makes it a powerful solution for any application, which requires multi-cable run..

Rear Panel FESTIVAL BOX - PETIT Fiber ports 1,2: MAIN1 Connection – trunk link between two Festival Boxes. Fiber ports 3,4: AUX1 1310nm port (can be used for any-bandwidth fiber signal which operates in 1310nm wavelength) SFP ports 1-12: Six External SFP ports are connected internally to SFP fibre transceivers that feed the specified CWDM multiplexers.
Device Details SFP Ports FESTIVAL BOX is equipped with six (Petit) or twelve (Grand) SFP ports that can be populated with different SFP modules that run up to 2Gbit of data. Data from external SFP port is converted to the internal CWDM SFP fiber transceivers.. The internal SFP transceivers connect to the internal CWDM passive multiplexing module, which allows multiple protocols to be combined into a single fiber.
Festival Box Multi mode TRX 1/2Gbps 850nm transceiver can be used in audio and data applications up to 2Gb bandwidth (i.e. Digico, Optocore, Ethernet). Requires 50 µm OM2 or better fiber cable and can be used for applications requiring cable lengths of up to 700 m (worst case).

Festival Box Single mode TRX 2Gbps 1310nm transceiver can be used in audio and data applications up to 2Gb bandwidth (i.e. Digico, Optocore 2G, Ethernet). Requires 9 µm OS1 or better fiber cable and can be used for applications requiring cable lengths of up to 20km (worst case).
Digico, AVID AVB ring, DANTE, Optocore etc. If one main cable fails all redundant systems will switch to their backup ports. Fig. 1: Connection of two FESTIVAL BOX Grand In this example each FESTIVAL BOX Grand has two main multimode connections - each main fiber carries signals from six SFP slots.
Fig. 2: Connection of two FESTIVAL BOX Petit In this example FESTIVAL BOX Petit has one main multimode connection carrying signals from six SFP slots. 1- 12 are transported over Connection 1,2.
