The external fiber optic system includes optical components such as optical connectors and a Fiber Optic Rotary
Joint (FORJ).
An expansion connector on the 914-HDE supports 8 expansion card ports: 4 low speed (LS) and 4 medium speed
(MS) ports. Expansion cards allow a full system to be built using the 914-HDE Motherboard as the base optical
card. Optional expansion cards are detailed in Section 6.0.
Figure 3-2: 914-X Series System with Expansion Cards
Figure 3-2 shows a 914-X Series system with both 914-VDX and 914-EX expansion cards added. These cards
stack on top of the 914-HDE motherboard providing more video, Ethernet and serial data channels. No extra optical
components are required for these additional expansion cards.
For larger systems requiring more optical bandwidth than a single 914-X Series stack can provide, Moog Focal has
a series of CWDM products that allow many optical data streams to be combined onto a single fiber. These cards
can handle the addition of 2, 4, 6, 8 or more systems onto a single fiber.
Figure 3-3 shows a simple 4 channel CWDM that would combine 4 optical wavelengths onto a single fiber.
