About SHED and HDX
The SHED and HDX systems enable operation of Hybrid-Cable-equipped High Definition
(HD) cameras using only two singlemode fibers. Since the limiting factor of hybrid cables
are the distances at which they can propagate enough electricity to power the camera, the
SHED and HDX’s eliminate the copper and thus extend the total range of your camera
chain.
The SHED and HDX are optically passive meaning that the optical signals to and from the
camera are merely passed through the system. The electrical signals are interpreted to both
allow the CCU to recognize that a camera is attached and to safely allow the local powering
of the caSHED and HDXmera. ALL audio, video, and data signaling in the camera chain is
maintained.
The SHED and HDX system consists of various parts depending on which versions of the
components were ordered. Since these systems can operate passively using just SHEDs or
actively using a combination of a SHED and an HDX, the components in your order will vary
with your specific application.
