Core modules: VG-TX2, VG-RX2
The
Voyager
CORE
modules
provide
the
main
video
‐
processing
and
fiber
‐
optic
interface
logic.
It
supports
2
SFP+
fiber
‐
optic
modules.
It
also
provides
power
for
all
the
VIDEO
and
AUX
option
modules.
The
VG
‐
TX2
and
VG
‐
RX2
CORE
modules
look
identical,
externally.
They
mainly
differ
in
the
firmware
loaded
into
them
at
the
factory.
The

time
of
order.
Note:
It is possible to use 2 different module types in the same CORE module, if both optical
outputs are used but different maximum extension lengths are required. By default, each core
unit ships with one (1) SFP module. Add-on SFP modules are available on the price list.
