914-X Series System Card Options
Users can combine the modular 914-X Series cards into complex fiber optic telemetry systems.
914-X Series cards are sorted into 4 basic categories:
1.
Motherboards
: Have optical transceivers and multiplex various different data types into a single data
stream over fiber. This is the foundation to any multiplexing system, they provide expansion channels for
expansion card integration.
a.
Card(s)
: 914-HDE.
2.
Expansion Cards
: Add more signal interfaces to the motherboard. They draw power from the
motherboard and do not require their own optical transceiver. They do not operate on their own. They
require one or more low speed (LS) or medium speed (MS) expansion channels on a motherboard to
operate.
a.
Card(s)
: 914-VDX, 914-EX, 914-DX and 914-AX.
3.
Media Converters
: Convert a single data type to fiber, usually in a 1:1 signal to optical wavelength
conversion. Can operate stand-alone, or can be optically combined with other multiplexers or media
converters.
a.
Card(s)
: 914-HDV2.
4.
Optical Cards
: Combine multiple optical wavelengths onto a single fiber, or create optical
redundancies for increased system reliability.
a.
Cards
: 914-CWDM, 914-CWDM-4, 914-CWDM-8, 914-SWITCH, 914-FOS
