Specifications

NOTES: • The FOX 3G HD-SDI is a transceiver that can function as a transmitter and/or as a receiver. Two units are required
for a transmitter-receiver system with one fiber optic cable linking the two units. The FOX 3G HD-SDI is available in
singlemode or multimode versions.
• These transceivers are class 1 laser products. They meet the safety regulations of IEC-60825, FDA 21, CFR 1040.10,
and FDA 21 CFR 1040.11.
• The FOX 3G HD-SDI P SM transceivers offer immunity to "pathological" signals, including test patterns defined by
SMPTE Recommended Practice (RP) 178 and SMPTE RP 198 for SD-SDI, HD-SDI, and 3G-SDI.
• FOX 3G HD-SDI P SM transcievers are immune to pathological signals only when P model units are used for both
transmitter and receiver with no other equipment between the two units. If the signal is routed through a Fiber
Matrix, FOX 4G DA8, or FOX 4G SW8, the system does not provide immunity.
Optical fiber interconnection between transmitter and receiver
Number/type ............................... 1 fiber optic
NOTE:
Only one fiber is required to transmit video and embedded audio and unidirectional data.
Connectors ................................. 1 LC connector
Operating distance
Singlemode ...................... 30 km (18.75 miles) with singlemode (SM) cables with a FOX 3G HD-SDI SM
Multimode ....................... 500 m (1640') with 62.5 µm multimode (MM) cables with a FOX 3G HD-SDI MM
NOTE:
Operating distance is approximate. These are typical maximum distances that may vary depending on factors such
as fiber type, fiber bandwidth, connector splicing, losses, modal or chromatic dispersion, environmental factors, and
kinks.
Nominal peak wavelength
Transmission power
Singlemode ...................... -5 dBm, typical
Multimode ....................... -5 dBm, typical
