914-R/C

FIBER OPTIC MULTIPLEXER


The 914-R/C video and data multiplexer provides digital fiber optic transmission for 1 high quality video channel and up to 6 bidirectional data channels in the industry’s smallest package. The 914 offers: extremely small size; rugged design with extended operational temperature range; bidirectional operation over 1 singlemode or multimode fiber; broadcast quality video with 10-bit digitization and greater than 6 MHz bandwidth for high resolution cameras; 4 bidirectional serial data channels (2 x RS-232, 1 x high speed RS-485, 1 x high speed RS-485/422); connector types and pin wiring compatible with the Focal 907; on-board LED diagnostics for data, video, and optical link status; and options for bidirectional video, daughter card expansion and CWDM upgrades.

Features

  • Standalone, single card multiplexer in a small profile
  • High speed RS-485/422
  • Expansion port for 2 extra data channels
  • High quality digitized video with bidirectional option
  • Singlemode and multimode bidirectional transceivers
  • Integrated ST fiber bushing for external connection

Benefits

  • Simplified interfaces for minimal configuration
  • Extremely small size allows installation in less than 2 inch diameter enclosures
  • Less prone to fiber damage with no loose pigtails
  • Operates reliably at extended temperatures
  • Low cost
