INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing your American Fibertek Series 91600C-SL multimode sixteen channel
video multiplexer. Please take a few minutes to read these installation instructions in order to
obtain the maximum performance from this product.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The 91600C-SL Series units operate as a transmitter / receiver pair for the digital transmission
of sixteen simultaneous NTSC or PAL video signals over one singlemode fiber optic cable.
The MRT-91600C-SL transmitter accepts up to sixteen video inputs in two groups containing
eight videos and multiplexes each group into a high speed serial data stream. The first group s
serial data stream, modulates a laser at 1310nm wavelength. The second group s serial data
stream modulates a laser at 1550nm. A Wave Division Multiplexer (WDM) combines these two
wavelengths, onto a single optical output port for connection to the fiber transmission system.
Correspondingly, the MRR-91600C-SL receiver converts the optical signal to sixteen
independent video output signals. The 91600C-SL Series product is designed to operate over
an optical loss budget range of 0dB to 21dB on 9um singlemode fiber. Refer to the product
specification sheet for additional performance data.
The individual units may be configured for rack mounting or wall mounting depending upon the
position of the included mounting hardware. Nominal dimensions of the MRT-91600C-SL and
MRR-9100C-SL are 1 ¾ inches high by 17 inches wide by 11 ½ inches deep. When mounting
hardware is included, overall width increases to 19 inches wide.
