Chapter 1 – OG-FIBER-Series
Card Overview
The OG-FIBER-Series cards are state-of-the-art, openGear-compatible, 3G-SDI to/
from Fiber converter cards, enabling SDI signals to be extended up to 10km over
standard Single-Mode fiber optic cable or 700 m (2296 ft) for OM4 and 300 m
(984 ft) for OM3 for Multi-Mode fiber optic cable.
Ten AJA cards are available:
• OG-FIBER TR, 1-Channel 3G-SDI/LC Single-Mode LC Fiber Transceiver
• OG-FIBER-T, 1-Channel 3G-SDI to Single-Mode LC Fiber Transmitter
• OG-FIBER-R, 1-Channel Single-Mode LC Fiber to 3G-SDI Receiver
• OG-FIBER-2T, 2-Channel 3G-SDI to Single-Mode LC Fiber Transmitter
• OG-FIBER-2R, 2-Channel Single-Mode LC Fiber to 3G-SDI Receiver
• OG-FIBER-TR-MM, 1-Channel 3G-SDI/LC Multi-Mode LC Fiber Transceiver
• OG-FIBER-T-MM, 1-Channel 3G-SDI to Multi-Mode LC Fiber Transmitter
• OG-FIBER-R-MM, 1-Channel Multi-Mode LC Fiber to 3G-SDI Receiver
• OG-FIBER-2T-MM, 2-Channel 3G-SDI to Multi-Mode LC Fiber Transmitter
• OG-FIBER-2R-MM, 2-Channel Multi-Mode LC Fiber to 3G-SDI Receiver
The inputs are re-clocked with best-in-class input jitter tolerance. The two
channel cards have completely independent paths, allowing different SDI rates to
be carried on each channel.
The fiber connector is attached to the main card for added reliability and cost
savings.
NOTE: In order to allow direct fiber connection to the card, and avoid problematic
optical couplers, AJA Fiber openGear cards have the rear connectors attached to
the front card. This means that the card cannot be removed from the frame with
the SFP module, cables, and/or BNC retaining nuts installed.
Features
