Fiberlink® 8200 Series
Welcome
The Fiberlink® 8200 Series of 3G/HD/SD-SDI Optical/Copper Hybrid Optical Distribution
Amplifiers is a one, two, three or four output optical distribution amplifier (O.D.A.) designed
to work with SDI copper or optical signals for optical transmission. The Fiberlink 8200
receives either a copper or optical SDI signal from any SMPTE compliant source and then
digitally regenerates and relaunches it over one to four outputs. Each output may transmit
to any SMPTE 297-2006 compliant receiver unit or to another O.D.A. unit. Cascading O.D.A.s
together allows for the creation of elaborate point-to-multipoint distribution.
Inputs and outputs on the 8200 Series support both multimode and single mode
fiber types. Outputs may also be configured with DFB type lasers for use with CWDM
multiplexers, such as CSI’s 6400 CWDM Series and the Fiberlink FlexPOD.
