The OTX 5840 is a flexible four channel 3G-SDI electrical to fiber optic converter suitable for SDI/ASI-DVB video signals. Each channel has automatic input clock rate and signal presence detection with selectable signal reclocking. This module is ideally suited for demanding digital multi-format broadcast and professional applications.
The module provides 4 SDI optical outputs and 2 SDI electrical outputs which can be mapped using the integrated 4×6 signal router. In non-reclocked mode the module will transparently pass any data between 15Mbit/s and 3Gbit/s. Support for ASI/DVB and SMPTE 310 signals is also provided.
Select from 18 wavelengths for CWDM applications 40km* or 80km* or select all 1310nm wavelengths for non CWDM applications 10km*.
Up to 10 modules, (or 40 fiber TX channels) can be supported in a standard LYNX RFR 5018 US 2RU rack frame.
The Fiber SFP sub-modules are secured on the backplane allowing for module removal and hot swapping without removing any modules rear I/O fiber connections.
Full remote control, status monitoring and error reporting is possible when using the LynxCentraal control system.
*Distance is an approximation. Actual distances achieved can be longer or shorter depending on the type of cable. Determine link losses and perform optical budget calculations to ensure correct operation
