(2) Product Overview
2.1 Introduction
The FT400 Series products comprise of either single-mode or multi-mode fiber optic
transmitters and receivers for the optical transmission of FOUR forward
(Tx → Rx) video singals
on one fiber. The products work at wavelengths of 1310nm or 1550nm with either a 9/125um or
62.5/125um fiber for single-mode or multi-mode transmission respectively.
A non-compressed 10-bit digital video transmission scheme is implemented which supports
video in NTSC, PAL and SECAM formats. Time Division Multiplex (TDM) technique is employed
for digital transmission of forward video.
For single-mode transmission, we also offer specifically designed products for long-haul
transmissions up to 60km. These models include the letter
“L” in the suffix, e.g. FT400-SST
L
for
Tx, FT400-SSR
L
for Rx, etc.
The FT400 Series units are available as standalone units, which can be mounted
horizontally or vertically wall-mounted on any fixture. The standalone unit comes with an external
power supply FT-PA/12V, which can be powered by local 110/220V power.
The FT400 Series units are also available as plug-in card modules installed in a
19”
rack-mount chassis. Each plug-in card occupies one slot in the rack-mount chassis. The rack
mount chassis has to be ordered separately, and comes with its own power supply for powering
the installed card modules.
