multiplexer and four channel “Up the Coax” control data multiplexer in the return direction. Please take a

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The 8406C Series units operate as a transmitter / receiver pair for the transmission of four simultaneous,
real time baseband NTSC/PAL video signals and four simultaneous “Up the Coax” control data signals
over one multimode fiber optic cable.

The MTX-8406C transmitter accepts up to four video inputs and multiplexes these signals onto a single
optical output port for connection to the fiber transmission system. Correspondingly, the MRX-8406C
receiver converts the optical signal to four independent video output signals.

The MRX-8406C receiver accepts up to four “Up the Coax” control data inputs and multiplexes these
signals onto a single optical output port for connection to the fiber transmission system. Correspondingly,
the MTX-8406C transmitter converts the optical signal to four independent “Up the Coax” control data
output signals.

The 8406C Series units operate on 50 um or 62.5 um multimode fiber. Refer to the data sheets for
detailed performance specifications.

The individual units may be configured for rack mounting or wall mounting depending upon the position
of the included mounting hardware.
