1 FIO-1901-TT 3G/HD/SD Electrical to Fiber Optic Converter
1.1 Introduction
The FIO-1901 series are flexible serial digital video To/From Fiber Optic converters for the Densité frames. The FIO-
1901 series are designed for SD, HD and 3G serial video as well as compressed bit-streams (DVB-ASI). The series
supports any data rate within the range of 19.4 Mbps to 2.97 Gbps and provides a reclocked serial digital video from
270Mbps to 2.97 Gbps. The FIO-1901 series offer five different configurations: Single or dual fiber Tx, single or dual
fiber Rx and a bi-directional fiber Rx/Tx. The series is based on SFP modules that provide easy product maintenance
and flexibility when multiple wavelengths are needed (as for CWDM). The SFP Modules are also hot-swappable.
The FIO-1901 can be installed in the same chassis as a series of interface modules, providing a wide variety of video,
audio and data conversion and multiplexing functions.
The FIO-1901-TT version incorporates dual optical transmitters, and is also available in a WDM version for use with a
single optical fiber.
