Fibermux 18 Ch HD SDI 1 Fiber Optic Active Wavelength Re-mapper and Multiplexer over

Fibermux for Small and Medium Enterprise: Video Transport on Single Fiber

 

Features:

  • Turns any digital optical signal into CWDM
  • Put upto 18 optical signals or up to 18 SDI video on 1 fiber
  • Optical signals up to 4.25Gb/sec/input
  • Video signals up to 3Gb/sec/input
  • Repeats and re-transmits with new optical budget
  • Plug and play
  • No longer a need for wavelength-specific spares in CWDM apps
  • Easy access to installed fiber infrastructures
  • Extends useful life of legacy fiber equipment
  • Small and portable
  • Faster set and strike with fewer cables

 

Applications:

  • Sports Broadcasting
  • Shared control rooms

  • Tele-Medicine
  • Distance learning
  • Corporate A/V
  • Taking advantage of stadium and campus fiber infrastructures

 

Overview:

The VidOptic Fiberbux was designed and built to help engineers and designers to be able to recover from situations where there are many signals to move over fiber, but not enough available fibers due to a lack of access to run more fiber or full cable trays. It can input any digital optical signal with a data rate of up to 4.25Gb/sec and it will be received and then re-transmitted at a CWDM wavelength and launched into the CWDM multiplexer. At the other end of the link, the signal is then de-multiplexed and restored. Up to six optical signals can be combined without the complexity of having specific CWDM lasers, and their spares, for each of the optical sources.

Alternately, the BNC inputs and outputs can be used to transport up to six SDI signals up to full, uncompressed 3Gb/sec, on just one fiber. And the built-in reclockers ensure that your signals arrive in pristine condition.

Since the Fibermux is receiving and then re-transmitting the optical signal, you get a fresh optical budget that allows transmission over even longer distances. And this doesn’t work just for VidOvation equipment. Any optical signal that is digital (even analog signals that are digitally encoded) and less than 4.25Gb/sec can be used.

The VidOptic Fibermux can be used as a stand-alone device or mounted three per single RU with our convenient rack mount kits. So whether the customer is optimizing their fibers within a permanent facility infrastructure or getting the most out of available fibers at a remote venue, we have you covered. With a Fibermux, the customer ready for the last minute signal requests that always seem to arise. It’s the most economical way to maximize fiber usage today while providing excess capacity for tomorrow.
