INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing your American Fibertek Series 96400C-SL singlemode sixty-four
channel video multiplexer. Please take a few minutes to read these installation instructions in
order to obtain the maximum performance from this product.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The 96400C-SL Series units operate as a transmitter / receiver pair for the digital transmission
of forty-eight simultaneous NTSC or PAL video signals over one single-mode fiber optic cable.

The RT-96400C-SL transmitter accepts up to sixty-four video inputs in eight groups containing
eight videos each and multiplexes each. The first group’s serial data stream modulates a laser
at 1470nm wavelength. The second group’s serial data stream modulates a laser at 1490nm
wavelength. This pattern is repeated for group’s three through eight using wavelengths 1510nm
through 1610nm respectively. A Course Wave Division Multiplexer (CWDM) combines these
eight wavelengths onto single optical output port for connection to the fiber transmission
system. Correspondingly, the RR-96400C-SL receiver converts the optical signal to sixty-four
independent video outputs.

The 96400C-SL Series product is designed to operate over an optical loss budget range of 0dB
to 21dB on 9um single-mode fiber. Refer to the product specification sheet for additional
performance data.

INSTALLATION

THIS INSTALLATION SHOULD BE MADE BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSON AND
SHOULD CONFORM TO THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA 70 AND LOCAL
CODES.

RT-96400C-SL COMPONENTS

The RT-96400C-SL consists of the following components:

1) RT-980C-1470 1) RT-980C-1530 1) RT-980C-1530 2) SR-20 2)PSR-2

1) RT-980C-1490 1) RT-980C-1550 1) RT-980C-1530 8) PCSC/UPC-0.4

1) RT-980C-1510 1) RT-980C-1570 1) MTX-CWDM-8 6) BPS-2
The individual 980C-XXXX series video rack cards that make up the RT-96400C-SL are

combined in a rack mount configuration using the SR-20 sub-rack. Please refer to the
instruction manuals for the SR-20 and the PSR-2 for information on the installation of the sub­rack with its power supply.

The individual 980C-XXXX series rack cards can slide into any of the open slots in the SR-20
sub-rack, however, the recommended configuration is shown below. The lowest wavelength
video card, the RT-980C-1470 is installed on the right side of the sub-rack next to the power
supply. The RT-980C-1490 is installed next to the RT-980C-1470 and so on as shown below.
Following this configuration allows the fiber ports on the back of the 980C series cards to best
line up with its associated ports on the CWDM unit. Use a small screwdriver to push and lock
the ¼ turn fasteners into place.

The Multi-Channel Digital Video CWDM that optically multiplexes the six video rack cards used
in the RT-96400C-SL is labeled MTX-CWDM-8. It should be mounted in-between the
corresponding SR-20 subracks with a ½ RU space between the three components. To
maximize the performance and life of the system, installing a fan above the upper SR-20
subrack is recommended to pull air up across the RT-96400C-SL components.

There are 6 blank slots on the sub-rack which can support a redundant power supply (using the
SR-20H, PSR-2H), data or any other AFI product.

RR-96400C-SL COMPONENTS

The RR-96400C-SL consists of the following components:

1) RR-980C-1470 1) RR-980C-1530 1) RR-980C-1590 2) SR-20 2) PSR/2

1) RR-980C-1490 1) RR-980C-1550 1) RR-980C-1610 8) PCSC/UPC-0.4

1) RR-980C-1510 1) RR-980C-1570 1) MRX-CWDM-8 6) BPS-2
The individual 980C-xxxx series video rack cards and that make up the RR-96400C-SL are

installed in a manner similar to the RT-96400C-SL (see drawing below). The Multi-Channel
Digital Video CWDM that optically demultiplexes the eight video rack cards used in the RR­96400C-SL is labeled MRX-CWDM-8. Mounting procedures and recommendations should
follow those used for the RT-96400C-SL.

POWER SOURCE

Power to the 980C-xxxx series rack cards is supplied by the sub-rack. Please refer to the SR-20
and PSR-2 instructions for further details.

POWER CONNECTION

Power is supplied to the individual 980C-xxxx series via a four finger backplane connector. The
individual components can be inserted into the subrack or removed from the subrack with power
applied to the backplane. Please refer to the SR-20 and PSR-2 instructions for details.

RT-96400C-SL, RR-96400C-CL FIBER CONNECTIONS

The fiber optic connection to the user’s infrastructure is made via a SC connector located at the
back of the CDWM unit next to the power input. Be sure to allow sufficient room for the required
minimum bend radius of the fiber cable used. SC patchcords are supplied for the intra-fiber
connections between the CWDM and each of the 980C-XXXX series units. The wavelength
listed for each port on the CWDM must correlate with the wavelength listed on the 980C-XXXX
series unit to which that port is attached.

VIDEO INPUT / OUTPUT CONNECTIONS

Video input and output connections are located on the rear of the 980C-xxxx series units. A
BNC connector is provided for each channel. The video inputs are connected to an appropriate
75 baseband video source such as a camera or a video recorder output. The 75 video
outputs can be looped through typical baseband video inputs of switchers, recorders and other
equipment as required. For proper operation, the outputs must be terminated with 75. For
optimum performance the video cables should be the shortest length of coax practical.

The location of a video input to the RT-96400C-SL will be mirrored as a video output at the RR­96400C-SL. For example, the Channel 2 video input on the RT-980C-1550 will become the
Channel 2 video output on the RR-980C-1550 after traveling across the fiber infrastructure.
