The Focal™ Model 903 product family provides a rugged video/data multiplexer and fiber optic communication system for Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) and other industrial machines operating in harsh environments.
A rack based 3U height (5.25 inch) Eurocard system with a flexible architecture that supports reconfiguration and expansion of the system to meet application specific requirements. Expansion cards include analog video, serial data, Ethernet, sonar, and others. Media converter cards are available for HD video and Gigabit Ethernet.
Model 903 systems are assembled from five main categories of items:
- Fiber-optic motherboards (FMB)
- Chassis and backplanes
- Media converters
- Expansion cards
- System modules
