INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing your American Fibertek MRM-100 multimode mini video
receiver. Please take a few minutes to read these installation instructions in order to

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The MRM-100 operates as half of a transmitter / receiver pair for the transmission of
baseband NTSC, PAL, RS170, or RS343 video signals over a single multimode fiber
optic cable. It is designed to operate with the MTM-100, RTM-100, or RTM-30 video
transmitter. The RTM-30 contains the electronics and optics of three RTM-100 units
mounted on one printed circuit board to save space and reduce cost.
The MRM-100 converts a single FM modulated optical input into a single video output
using an 850 nm wavelength detector. The M100 Series product is designed to operate
over an optical loss budget range of 0 to 12 dB with a maximum distance of up to 2.5
km. The MRM-100 operates on 50 um or 62.5 um multimode fiber. Refer to the data
sheets for detailed performance specifications.
This unit is contained in a compact and rugged aluminum housing with internal dc
voltage regulation. The detachable terminal block and LED indicators provide for easy
installation and monitoring of video and dc power.
The MRM-100 is designed for mounting as a modular stand alone unit. For a rack
mounted version please see the RRM-100 or the RRM-30.
