FiberLink 3500 Bi-Directional Series User’s Manual

FiberLink 3500 Series

Welcome

Thank you for purchasing Artel Video Systems’ FiberLink 3500 Series . The 3500 Series 
is used to transmit up to 4 channels of 3G/HD/SD-SDI with or without pre-embedded au-
dio and data over a single or dual fiber optic core .  The FiberLink 3500 Series is compat-
ible with single mode or multimode fiber .   The system delivers noise-free transmis-
sion that retains all of the signals’ initial parameters, regardless of fiber optic cable 
attenuation . The 3500 Series also provides immunity to video pathological signals over 
the entire link budget and operating temperature range .  

The 3500 series consists of 

a number of transmitter/receiver options. Artel recommends you download the 
data sheet for your specific model to augment the information in this manual.
