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
