INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing your American Fibertek RR-220C multimode two channel video
receiver. Please take a few minutes to read these installation instructions in order to obtain the
maximum performance from this product.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The RR-220C operates as half of a transmitter / receiver pair for the transmission of two
simultaneous, real time, baseband NTSC, PAL, RS170, or RS343 video signals. The RR-220C
is designed to operate with the MT-220C or RT-220C video transmitter over one multimode fiber
optic cable.
The RR-220C receiver converts a single optical input into a maximum of two video outputs. The
220C Series product is designed to operate over an optical loss budget range of 0 to 12 dB
when used on 62.5 um multimode fiber. A maximum distance of 5km can be achieved as long
as the overall fiber bandwidth maintains a minimum of 150 MHz at 1300 nm. As an example, if
the system fiber has a 600 MHz-km modal bandwidth specification, the 220C will operate over a
distance up to 4 km. The RR-220C will also operate on 50 um multimode fiber at a reduced loss
budget range. Refer to the product specification sheet for additional performance data.
This unit is designed for rack mounting in any of the four American Fibertek subracks available.
The subrack model numbers are SR-20/1, SR-20R/1, SR-20/2, and SR-20D/2. Slide in rack
mounting and LED indicators provide for easy installation and monitoring of video and dc power.
The RR-220C is designed for rack mounting only. For a modular stand alone version please see
the MR-220C.
