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

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The MTM-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 MRM-100, RRM-100, or RRM-30 video
receiver. The RRM-30 contains the electronics and optics of three RRM-100 units
mounted on one printed circuit board to save space and reduce cost.
The MTM-100 converts a single video input into a single FM modulated optical output
using an 850 nm wavelength source. 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 MTM-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 MTM-100 is designed for mounting as a modular stand alone unit. For a rack
mounted version please see the RTM-100 or the RTM-30.
