    FIBER LINK 2. Introduction 2.1 Description The Fiber Link supports the transmission of video from a camera to a monitoring station and a data signal back to the camera over one multimode fiber. A single coaxial cable at each end of the link is used to connect the appropriate equipment to the system.

  • Page 13: Installation

    FIBER LINK 3. Installation To install the Fiber Link, you will physically install the modules, connect the optical fiber, connect the input and output electrical signals, and connect power to the fiberoptic modules. Then you’ll verify correct system operation. 3.1 Physical Installation The Fiber Link is a standalone module.

Standalone Transmitter. 3.2 Signal Connections All fiberoptic links convert electrical signals into a light signal at the transmitter and convert the light back to electrical signals for output at the receiver. The electrical signal connections to the Fiber Link consist of a single BNC connector on the transmitter and receiver.

    FIBER LINK NOTE Use RG59/U coaxial cable (part number ETN59-BNC) between the video equipment and the fiber units. The video equipment and the fiber unit should be no more than 100 ft. (30.5 m) apart. Terminate the coaxial cable with a female BNC and connect it to the fiber unit. Repeat for both ends of the link.

Plug the power supply into a suitable outlet. 3.5 System Power Power up the peripheral equipment. You’ll need to verify system operation. You can do this by observing video on the monitor at the receiver end, or by operating all of the pan-tilt-zoom functions controlled by the up-the-coax data signal.

    FIBER LINK 4. Transmitter and Receiver Optical Indicators All transmitters and receivers have five active LEDs. See Figure 4-1. Level/Loss indicators are used in determining received optical power. The LED will glow in varying intensities of green depending upon the amount of optical power received.
