3 Overview
The 673T is a high-performance fiber optic transmitter for 3G HD-SDI,
HD-SDI, SDI, and dual-link SDI signals. The unit converts up to four
channels of serial digital signals on gold-plated BNC connector s to light
pulses that are transmitted ove r a single multimode fiber optic cable to a 673R
receiver that converts them back to serial digital signals.
The 673T and 673R pair has a transmission range of 1000 meters (more than
3,200ft).
Both the 673T and 673R:
• Feature a maximum data rate of up to 3Gbps, enabling it to be used for
standard definition, high definition and the new 3G high definition serial
digital video signals (SD/HD-SDI)
• Feature a single multi mo de OM3 fiber optic with SC connectors
• Include four HD-SDI signals on gold-plated BNC connectors each for the
transmitter and the receiver
1
• Support SDI, HD-SDI, 3G HD-SDI and dual-link
and support data rates
of 270Mbps, 1483.5Mbps, 1485Mbps and 2970Mbps
• Are strictly regulated in accordance with Class 3R Laser Eye Safety in
compliance with ANSI Z136 and IEC 60825-1:2007
• Feature HDTV compatibility
2
• Include cable equalization up to 350m for SD
3
signals, and 120m for 3GHz HD signals
HD
signals, 140m for 1.5GHz
• Feature fiber optic, output and input indicatio n LEDs
• Include reclocking and equalization on each channel
• Include 5V DC po wer adapters and housing in Kramer DigiTOOLS
enclosures
• Can be rack mounted in a 1U rack space with the optional RK-3T rack
adapter

3.1 Recommendations for Achieving the Best Per fo rmance
To achieve the best performance:
• Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference,
deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noiselevels (often associated with low quality cables)
• Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances and posi t ion your
673T and 673R away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
Caution – No operator-serviceable parts inside unit.
Warning – U se only the Kramer Electronics input power
wall adapter that is provided with t his unit
Warning – Disconnect p ower and unplu g unit from wall
before insta lling or r emoving de vi ce or servicing unit.

5 Connecting the 673T and 673R Transmitter/Receiver System
To connect1 the 673T and 673R, as illustrated in the example in Figure 3, do
the following:
1. Connect up to four SDI sources (for example video players and/or HD-SDI
cameras) to the four SDI IN connectors.
2. Connect the four SDI OUT connectors to up to four SDI acceptors (for
example, HD-SDI displays).
3. Remove the dust caps and connect the OPTIC CABLE connector of the 673T
to the OPTIC CABLE connector of the 673R, via OM3 cabling
range of 900 meters (2950ft)).
4. Connect the 5V DC power adapter to the power socket on each unit and
connect the adapter to the mains electricity (not shown in
Avoid direct eye exposure into the optic connectors when powered, although
this product is regulated strictly enough to operate under the Laser Class 3R
