NOTE 1: Assumes 0 dB additional external attenuator.
NOTE 2: The maximum distance will be reduced by 15 km if 5 dB additional external attenuator is present to mitigate risk of
0 km receiver overload.
NOTE 3: A 5 dB additional external attenuator will be required to mitigate risk of 0 km receiver overload.
Ordering Information
The media converters are offered as individual
transmit and receiver devices. These fiber optic
media converter devices require one power
supply per device. The media converter frames
support up to 18 transmit or receive media
converters and provide power for all 18 devices.
All of the media converter receivers operate over
a range of 1270 nm > 1610 nm.
Attributes
• Media converters can be attached to any
SD/HD/3G, AES, MADI
destination
• For long-distance connections which
exceed the limits of coaxial cable
• For applications where the size or weight
of cable is an issue
• To provide electrical isolation
• Supports SMPTE 310M/259M/292M/297M/
424M and DVB/ASI
• Line equalized (typical 1694A:
100m @ 2.97 Gb/s, 200m @ 1.485 Gb/s,
and 400m @ 270 Mb/s)

Media converters are small single-channel
optical converters that attach to the BNC
input or output (depending on the model) and
module or source/
convert SD/HD/3G, AES, MADI electrical signals
to/from fiber optic signals. Media converters
support single-mode fiber connections using
robust LC connectors. Using these media
converters, ordinary modules, routers, servers,
and many other broadcast products can be
made fiber-capable.
High-definition signals often require signal
transport above the limit of conventional
cables. Optical connections go further while
providing electrical isolation. These media
converters support single-mode fiber which
carries SD/HD/3G, AES, MADI signals
substantially further than multi-mode.
