Series
IFS FM Video with Return Data
OVERVIEW
T
he IFS VT/VR1500WDM Series video and data transmitter/receiver 
supports the simultaneous transmission of frequency modulation 
(FM) video and return data over one optical fiber. The modules are 
universally compatible with major CCTV camera manufacturers 
and support RS-232 and RS-422 data interfaces and all major 
data protocols. Modules with in the series are available for use 
with multimode or single mode optical fiber. Plug-and-play design 
ensures ease of installation requiring no electrical or optical 
adjustments. The modules incorporate power, and carrier detect 
status indicating LED’s to monitor proper system operation. The 
modules are available in either stand-alone or rack mount versions.
