Installation
NOTE: AJA does not support use of any SFP modules other than our own; use of any non-
AJA SFP module will void the warranty.
Installation consists of the following steps:
1. Connect video equipment to the FiDO converter BNCs.
2. Connect fiber to the FiDO Optical fiber connectors.
Caution! Single-Mode (1310 nm) and CWDM FiDO devices require the use of “single
mode 1310nm compatible” fiber optic cable.
CLASS 1

PRODUCT
Warning! Active fiber-optic cables emit radiation invisible to the human eye. Do
not look directly at the end of an active fiber-optic cable or the fiber connector
on a FiDO-T-12G, FiDO-2T-12G, FiDO-TR-12G, ; these models are Class 1 Laser
Products.
3. FiDO-2T-12G, FiDO-2R-12G, and FiDO-TR-12G require either a duplex LC
cable or two simplex LC cables. Insert each connector until it latches.
Figure 1. FiDO to Duplex LC Example
4. FiDO-T-12G and FiDO-R-12G require a single simplex LC cable connected to
the optical port on the converter pointed to by the arrow (Optical Output
on FiDO-T-12G, or Optical Input on FiDO-R-12G).
NOTE: Fiber optic interconnections can be severely compromised by dirt, oils, or other
contaminants. All dust caps should be replaced on cables and equipment
whenever FiDO converters are disconnected from fiber optic cables.
5. Apply +5VDC power to the converter (AJA power supply included).
Operation
FiDO series converters have no user controls. No configuration or settings are
required. Once powered, the FiDO converters will begin converting applied fiber/
SDI signals.
