Optical specifications— SMX 88/1616 FOX Fiber Optic I/O board
NOTE:
The fiber optic I/O cards are class 1 laser products. They meet the safety regulations of IEC-60825,
FDA 21 CFR 1040.10, and FDA 21 CFR 1040.11.
Number/type .................................. 8 or 16 singlemode, or 8 or 16 multimode fiber optic inputs and outputs per I/O board
NOTE:
Only one fiber is required to transmit video, audio, and unidirectional data. A second fiber is required to
transmit return data for bidirectional control/communication.
Connectors .................................... 16 or 32 LC connectors per I/O board
Operating distance
Singlemode .............................
30 km (18.75 miles) with singlemode (SM) cables with an Extron singlemode
distribution amplifier or Tx/Rx unit
Multimode ...............................
300 m (985') with 62.5 µm multimode (MM) cables with an Extron multimode
distribution amplifier or Tx/Rx unit
1 km (3280') with 50 µm multimode (MM) cables with an Extron multimode
distribution amplifier or Tx/Rx unit
2 km (6561') with 50 µm 2000 MHz bandwidth laser multimode cable with an
Extron multimode distribution amplifier or Tx/Rx unit
NOTE:
Operating distance is approximate. These are typical distances. The maximum distance may be greater
than these typical numbers depending on factors such as fiber type, fiber bandwidth, connector splicing,
losses, modal or chromatic dispersion, environmental factors, and kinks.
