1.0 Introduction

The Focal Model 914-X Series Modular Multiplexer System is a compact and rugged video, data and Ethernet
multiplexer and fiber optic transmission system designed for industrial environments and other applications
requiring the transmission of HD video, serial data and Ethernet over an optical link. The 914-X Series has been
optimized for low power operation and delivery of low latency, uncompressed video and Ethernet data.

A series of expansion cards are available, allowing additional composite video channels, serial data channels,
Ethernet ports, as well as many specialty signals such as TTL, hydrophone, CAN bus and custom sonars to be
added to any 914-X Series system without requiring extra fibers or wavelengths.

The rich feature set and vast signal options are packaged in an incredibly small form factor. The credit card size,
along with the geometry and location of the connectors allow the 914-X Series multiplexers to be installed in very
small enclosures. Multiple card systems can be configured either as stacks, or via flexible high speed ribbon cable
providing even further installation flexibility.

This manual provides 914-X Series system users with detailed information relevant to the design,
configuration, installation, and operation of the 914-X Series system. This manual and the appropriate

reference documents should be reviewed prior to installation or configuration of the multiplexer system.

The figures below show different configurations and stacking options of the 914-X series. On the left, the 914-HDE
motherboard is shown stand-alone. On the right, the 914-HDE and expansion cards (914-EX, VDX and AX-232)
are shown stacked together and held into place via standoffs. At the bottom, a similar stack is shown but with a
high-speed ribbon cable to accommodate applications such as bottles or low profile enclosures.

3.0 System Overview

3.1 914-X Series System Card Options

Users can combine the modular 914-X Series cards into complex fiber optic telemetry systems.
914-X Series cards are sorted into 4 basic categories:

1. Motherboards: Have optical transceivers and multiplex various different data types into a single data

stream over fiber. This is the foundation to any multiplexing system, they provide expansion channels for
expansion card integration.

a. Card(s): 914-HDE.

2. Expansion Cards: Add more signal interfaces to the motherboard. They draw power from the

motherboard and do not require their own optical transceiver. They do not operate on their own. They
require one or more low speed (LS) or medium speed (MS) expansion channels on a motherboard to
operate.

a. Card(s): 914-VDX, 914-EX, 914-DX and 914-AX.

3. Media Converters: Convert a single data type to fiber, usually in a 1:1 signal to optical wavelength

conversion. Can operate stand-alone, or can be optically combined with other multiplexers or media
converters.

a. Card(s): 914-HDV2.

4. Optical Cards: Combine multiple optical wavelengths onto a single fiber, or create optical

redundancies for increased system reliability.

a. Cards: 914-CWDM, 914-CWDM-4, 914-CWDM-8, 914-SWITCH, 914-FOS

3.2 Defining a 914-X Series System

914-X Series systems are used as pairs (one remote and one console) to provide a transparent video, data and
Ethernet link over optical fiber(s). The installed optical transceivers determine the maximum optical link speed, fiber
type, number of fibers (1 or 2), and link distance. The card version sets the operational bandwidth, which is
independent from the optical data rate. The optical link uses a proprietary data protocol ensuring reliable
transmission with extremely low latency using highly efficient and dynamic bandwidth utilization.

Typically, the uplink (remote to console) and downlink (console to remote) are combined on a single fiber –
multimode or singlemode (standard) – with a passive optical coupler known as a Wavelength Division Multiplexer
(WDM). The WDM is integrated in the optical transceiver. Standard, single fiber systems operate with 1310 nm
uplink and 1550 nm downlink wavelengths. In larger systems, multiple 914-X Series stacks may be combined on a
single fiber using a Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexer (CWDM) to take advantage of the high bandwidth of
optical fiber.

Figure 3-1 illustrates an example of a simple 914-X Series system configuration using a standard, standalone 914­HDE motherboard, which supports the multiplexing of one (1) 3G/HD/SD-SDI channels, two (2) bidirectional RS­232 / RS-485 / RS-422 serial data channels and one (1) Gigabit Ethernet channel over a single optical fiber. This
is the base card of any 914-X Series system.

Figure 3-1: 914-HDE Motherboard

Note that the HD video source (e.g. from an HD camera) is connected at the remote end. The HD video output is
provided at the console end (e.g. to an HD monitor).

The external fiber optic system includes optical components such as optical connectors and a Fiber Optic Rotary
Joint (FORJ).

An expansion connector on the 914-HDE supports 8 expansion card ports: 4 low speed (LS) and 4 medium speed
(MS) ports. Expansion cards allow a full system to be built using the 914-HDE Motherboard as the base optical
card. Optional expansion cards are detailed in Section 6.0.

Figure 3-2: 914-X Series System with Expansion Cards

Figure 3-2 shows a 914-X Series system with both 914-VDX and 914-EX expansion cards added. These cards
stack on top of the 914-HDE motherboard providing more video, Ethernet and serial data channels. No extra optical
components are required for these additional expansion cards.

For larger systems requiring more optical bandwidth than a single 914-X Series stack can provide, Moog Focal has
a series of CWDM products that allow many optical data streams to be combined onto a single fiber. These cards
can handle the addition of 2, 4, 6, 8 or more systems onto a single fiber.

Figure 3-3 shows a simple 4 channel CWDM that would combine 4 optical wavelengths onto a single fiber.

3.3 System Specification

When specifying a 914-X Series system, it is important to ensure there is enough available optical bandwidth to
support the signals and data throughput required. Moog Focal has released three versions of the 914-HDE
motherboard with pricing linked to bandwidth. This allows customers who do not require expansion cards, 3G-SDI,
or gigabit Ethernet to specify a more cost effective solution. Moog Focal can work with customers to configure a
complete optical multiplexer solution, and the following section shows signal bandwidths and sample system
configurations. This allows customers to weigh the tradeoffs between system bandwidth, cost, size and power,
while also showing the upgrade potential of any 914-X Series system.

4.4 914-HDE Serial Data Ports

The 914-HDE has two non-isolated serial ports supporting RS-232, RS-485 or RS-422 signaling protocols. These
three protocols may be configured by the user in the field via the 914 Diagnostic GUI. TTL and PPS are factory
options. All data rates are supported up to 2.5 Mbaud for RS-485 and RS-422 and up to 500 KBaud for RS-232.
Each port can support completely independent serial data links with independent baud rates. By default, RS-485
and RS-422 inputs are terminated differentially with an on-board 120  resistor that can be disabled via software
configuration. Latency through the Mux/Demux system is less than 50 s, not including fiber delays of 5 ns/m.

For RS-485 which is a half-duplex protocol, a programmable turn-around time is implemented. The default turn­around time (timeout between Tx and Rx) is set to 1 ms. Serial port settings, including protocol, timeouts, and
terminations may be accessed and changed via the Model 914 Diagnostic GUI.

The serial port connector is Molex Micro-fit P/N 43045-0800. The mating plug is Molex Micro-fit P/N 0430250800
with Molex crimps P/N 0430300010. The pinout is detailed in Table 4-4. Tx refers to transmit data from the 914­HDE to the external equipment. Rx refers to receive data into the 914-HDE from the external equipment. Data
coming into the RS-422 RX lines at the remote, for example, will exit from the RS-422 TX lines at the console.

4.5 914-HDE Ethernet Port

The 914-HDE provides an un-switched, low latency 10/100/1000 BASE-T(X) Ethernet link through the optical port.
The part is default configured for 10/100 BASE-T(X) in the L1 version, and 10/100/1000 BASE-T(X) for M1 and H1
versions. Auto-negotiate settings can be accessed via the Model 914 Diagnostic GUI. A standard 8P8C (RJ45)
modular jack provides the mechanical interface for the Ethernet port. The port is auto MDI/MDIX capable, and
supports jumbo frames up to 9000 bytes.

An optional “Link Fault Pass Through” can be enabled. This feature will disconnect the Ethernet link if the far side
is not linked. Therefore the system must be linked on both sides for the Ethernet link to be established. Enabling or
disabling this feature is done through the diagnostic GUI.

4.8 914-HDE Optics

An SFP or SFP+ transceiver provides the optical interface for the 914-HDE. Many options exist including:

 Singlemode or multimode fiber
 Bi-directional 1310/1550 nm transceivers (L1 and M1 versions)
 Bi-directional 1270/1330 nm transceivers (H1 version)
 CWDM wavelengths (L1, M1 or H1 versions)
 Non-standard optical budgets

Due to the high data rates, singlemode fiber is standard. Multimode fiber is only suitable for very short links (<
300m). Contact Moog Focal for multimode options. Typical link budgets for single mode fiber are 20dB for bi­directional single fiber or 24dB for dual fiber CWDM. Moog Focal has compatible CWDM modules that can be
mounted and stacked with 914-HDE systems. Please refer to section 8.0.

4.8.1 914-HDE Flux Budget Calculation

When specifying an optical system, it is important to analyze system losses and fiber link distances in order to
calculate the required optical configuration. The following table shows a sample flux budget calculation for a system
with multiple ST bushings, a 10 km singlemode fiber link and a FORJ. Actual losses can vary widely from this, each
system flux budget calculation must use data based on actual parts in use.

4.8.2 Optical Safety

All lasers used in the 914-HDE system are Class I laser devices per IEC-60825 unless otherwise specified in
installation or configuration drawing. No special control measures or warning labels are required, although any
needless exposure of the eye should be avoided as a matter of good practice, and fibers should never be viewed

with magnifying instruments, e.g. fiber scopes, while optical power is present. Note that the optical

wavelengths are in the infrared range, so not visible, but magnifying instruments can still cause damaging levels to
the eye.
