Pluggable SFP+ Modules
Each 12G SDI module includes one, non-MSA compliant, SFP module. The module must be used with
single-mode fiber-optic cable.
The SFP+ Optical Module is a 12Gbps module specifically designed to support SMPTE standard video
formats (HD-SDI, 3G-SDI, 6G-SDI, and 12G-SDI). The modules are hot-pluggable and operate on
3.3VDC. A latch handle, used to remove and install the SFP, has arrows indicating an input or an output.
Always use dust caps to protect against dust and damage when a fiber optic connector or port is not
attached to a device. All Thinklogical SFPs are fully populated with dust plugs upon shipment
Note:
The 12G SFP modules are specific to the 12G SDI Transmitter and Receiver
and will not operate inside Thinklogical
’s Velocity or TLX product lines.
Fiber-Optic Cables
Fiber-optic cables connect a Transmit
SFP’s
output port to any Receive SFP
’s input port. An
arrow on the handle indicates an Output or an
Input.
Requirements:
Thinklogical recommends connecting 12G SDI Extenders and Matrix Switches up to
40km (25 miles) with Type OS2 9/125 Single-mode fiber terminated with LC type connectors.
Handling Fiber-Optic Cable:
Unlike copper cabling, fiber optic cable requires special handling. A
small speck of dust or a scratch to the ferrule tip (the end of the connector) can attenuate the
optical signal, rendering the cable inoperable. Also, do not pinch, kink or sharply bend the fibers.
Warning!
The ends of the connectors (the
ferrule) should never come in contact with
any foreign object, including fingertips.
Always install a dust cap immediately on the
ferrule of any unused fiber to protect the tip.
Warning!
Minimum bend diameter must be no
less
than 3”. Be careful not to kink or pinch
the fiber when using ties.
