1 System overview
1.1 Introduction
This upgrade changes your HD/HDHS Triax camera system so that it can be used with
fiber cables as well as Triax cables. The transmission quality is equally good, regardless
of the cable system used to connect the camera to the base station. When the upgrade
is completed you will be able to switch between Triax and fiber cable systems by simply
exchanging cables. With Triax operation you continue to use your normal Triax cables;
with fiber operation you can choose either hybrid or dual-strand cables.
This mixed operation provides great flexibility so that you can work within different
cabling infrastructures. As an addition to Triax infrastructure repeater systems can be
used to extend cable lengths.
This upgrade applies to HD Triax systems (LDK 6000 and LDK 4000) and HDHS Triax
systems (LDK 6200) and their associated base stations. The upgrade also allows a
SuperXpander to be used within these systems without additional modifications.
The upgrade kit is available for six different types of Triax connector and six different
types of fiber connector. When ordering, you specify the type of connectors that you
are using.
