8939FCA/8939FCB Fiber Optic Mux/Demux Modules
Key Features
•
Optical multiplexer/demultiplexer for
combining signals on a single fiber
•
8939FCA provides up to 8:1 or 1:8
multiplexing or demultiplexing using
CWDM technology
•
Will accept a ninth 1310 nm signal for 9:1
multiplexing when connected to the EXP
port of the 8939FCA
•
Using the 8939FCB connected to the EXP
port of the 8939FCA, up to 16 channels
can be transmitted on a single fiber
•
Up to 10 8939FCA modules can be housed
in a GeckoFlex frame providing up to
80 channels of optical multiplexing or
demultiplexing per 2 RU frame
•
The module is a passive optical device for
reliable service
Applications
•
For transporting multiple SD/HD/3G-SDI
video signal over a limited fiber cable
capacity
•
When reducing infrastructure costs
(cabling, electrical power consumption,
space, etc.) is required – multiplexed
video over fiber gives us an 8:1 ratio on
cabling and support equipment
•
Fiber is commonly used in any application
where SD/HD/3G-SDI signals are found

The 8939FCA and 8939FCB are bi-directional
optical CWDM multiplexer/demultiplexer
modules for the 2 RU GeckoFlex frame. They
are used where multiple signals need to be
sent over one fiber. When used together, these
flexible modules are designed to multiplex up
to 16 fiber optic signals onto a single fiber.
Each passive optical module supports
SD-SDI, HD-SDI, and 3G-SDI signals from
GeckoFlex modules equipped with SFP
(small form-factor pluggable) CWDM optical
transmitters and will handle up to 3 Gb/s.
Standard receivers can be used on each
output for the receive function with each
module separating the light into its discrete
wavelengths. These modules can be used both
on the transmit, launch side, or the receive side
of the cable.
With the 8939FCA module, the eight main
optical ports can be used to accept CWDM
wavelength lasers where each signal uses a
specific wavelength of light. The expansion port
can accept or deliver an additional 1310 nm
wavelength signal for 9:1 multiplexing.
GeckoFlex fiber-ready modules can be
equipped with CWDM fiber transmitters for
ultra-compact multiplexed optical capability.
The 8939FCA can also be used with the
8935FCB module to increase the number
of optical channels to 16 which can be
transmitted over one single-mode fiber cable.
Refer to the block diagrams shown on the
following page for using the modules.

Ordering Information
These modules can be mounted in a GeckoFlex
frame but not in other 8900 series frames,
including Gecko-A or Gecko-V frames. These
modules mount from the rear, each taking up one
slot. These modules have no controls or settings.
