Portable Fiber-Saver Boosts Fiber Transport
The FS-6000 Fiber-Saver is a portable CWDM remapper/multiplexer manufacturer MultiDyne says transports as many as six digital optical or six SDI signals over a single fiber, “allowing users to transport additional signals easily in situations where there are an insufficient amount of available fibers.”
According to MultiDyne, by using the FS-6000 Fiber-Saver, a tech “can input any digital optical signal, with a data rate of up to 4.25Gb/sec, to be received and retransmitted at a CWDM wavelength and launched into the CWDM multiplexer. At the other end of the link, the signal is then demultiplexed and restored, eliminating the need for wavelength-specific units in CWDM applications.”
In addition, the device combines as many as six uncompressed 3Gb/sec SDI signals onto a single fiber, helping to ensure a clear signal through the use of built-in reclockers.
Used as a stand-alone device or rack-mounted with as many as three units per 1-RU, the FS-6000 Fiber-Saver can be integrated with any fiber-optic broadcast equipment, and it works with any digital optical signal, including older multimode systems and MADI audio signals.
