1.0 Introduction
Focal's Model 903 is a video/data multiplexer and fiber optic transmission system designed for Remotely
Operated Vehicle (ROV) applications. The Model 903 uses Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) and Wavelength
Division Multiplexing (WDM) to provide high multiplexing density in a compact, low-power package. Typical
systems support 4-8 broadcast quality composite video channels, up to 64 digital channels, and additional
bidirectional optical channels for high-speed sonar, digital video, or 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet links.
The high density version of the Model 903 has been optimized for very high multiplexing density in an
extremely compact, low power package capable of delivering high quality video end-to-end. It supports up to
8 video channels of uncompressed, digitized composite video as well as up to 8 RS-232 channels and 8
plug-in modules, which may be selected from a range of modules including RS-232, RS-485/422/TTL, analog
sonar (MS900), hydrophones, Tritech sonar ARCNET and CAN Bus.
This user’s guide provides complete information on the design, configuration, installation and
operation of Model 903 High Density (HD) multiplexer systems. All 903-HD systems presented in this
document are based on the new FMB-X-2.5 and –X backplane boards. System specific information
can be found in the 903-8xxx-xx installation drawings provided with your system.
This manual and the appropriate reference documents should be reviewed prior to installation or
reconfiguration of the multiplexer.
Card or PCB assembly numbers are given in the titles of the corresponding sections of the manual.
Card assembly numbers refer to a complete printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) plus front panel,
optics, and assembly hardware, and are in the 903-00XX-XX and 903-5XXX-XX series.
PCBA numbers apply to populated boards alone, such as backplanes and AIB plug-in modules, and
are in the 903-02XX-XX series.

2.0 System Overview
This document contains information about 903 high density systems based on FMB-X-2.5 boards (fiber
multiplexer boards with optical link running at 2.5 Gbaud).
A high density multiplexer system consists of a Model 903-HD high density remote module (vehicle or ROV
end) and a standard Model 903 console module (surface or shipboard end). The console module is provided
completely packaged in a Eurocard rack integrated with a power supply and all necessary optical
components. (Eurocard PCB dimensions are 100 x 160 mm.) The remote module is provided as a complete
rack, including backplane, fan, and a data I/O box.
The high density remote modules can be provided in 12 HP or 16 HP racks depending on the number of
video and data channels required.
The standard console modules can be provided in 42 HP or 50 HP racks. Note that 4HP corresponds to a slot
width of 0.8 inches or roughly 20 mm.
2.1 Multiplexer Systems
There are two types of 903 high density systems that are covered by this document. One type is the
4VID system which includes 4 composite/analog video channels and the other type is the 8VID system
with 8 composite/analog video channels. The following table provides a summary of the signal types
supported by these systems.
Table 2-1: Model 903-HD Systems – Signal Types Supported
* AIB Plug-In supported signal types include: RS-232, RS-485, RS-422, TTL, Tritech Sonar ARCNET,
Hydrophone/Analog, MS-900 Analog Sonar and CAN Bus (see section 4.3.1 for more details).

2.4 Optical Configuration
The optical configuration of a 4VID and 8VID dual fiber systems is shown in the figure below.
Figure 2-7: Model 903 Dual Fiber Optic Transmission System (4VID, 8VID)
The FMB-X-2.5R card in the remote subrack optically multiplexes the 1310 nm uplink and 1550 nm downlink
on the same fiber with a standard 1310/1550 nm WDM. A second 1310/1550 nm WDM at the FMB-X-2.5C
card multiplexes the uplink and downlink to the receiver and transmitter respectively.
The remote FMB-X-2.5R includes an optical splitter to provide redundant signals over two separate
singlemode fibers. At the console module, one of the two fibers for each link is selected by the fiber switch
integrated with the FMB-X-2.5-C located in slot C. Hence the downlink is only present on one fiber at a time.
The fiber switching can be performed automatically or manually, depending on the position of the toggle
switch on the front panel of the FMB-X-2.5C card. Refer to section 3.1.2 for more information about the
FMB-X-2.5C.

903-0628-00 Rev. 1 Model 903-HD User's Guide – FMB-X-2.5
2.5 Backwards Compatibility
The FMB-X-2.5 is not backwards compatible with the FMB-VTX, FMB-VRX or GLINK FMB-X cards.
Both remote and console FMBs must be replaced with the FMB-X-2.5 when upgrading. All FMB-X-2.5 cards
operate at 2.5 Gbaud on uplink (1310 nm) and downlink (1550 nm) and are compatible with existing video
cards, data cards, and high speed racks. In the case of medium speed racks, the FMBs and backplanes must
be changed out.
Contact factory for more information.

3.0 Fiber Multiplexers and Backplanes
Fiber Multiplexer Boards (FMBs) are used to combine all of the video, Ethernet, and data signals into a single
optical link and then regenerate the original copper signals at the other end of the system. Backplane cards
are used to connect all of the Model 903 cards together within remote or console modules. A complete Model
903 system includes at least one remote and one console module.
3.1 FMB-X-2.5 Fiber Multiplexer Board
The FMB-X-2.5 cards use FPGA SERDES (Serializer/Deserializer) modules that run at an optical data rate of
2.5 Gbaud on both uplink and downlink. This high optical data rate allows more capacity for video, data and
Ethernet traffic than older FMBs. FMB-X-2.5 cards are designed to work only with singlemode fibers to
support the high data rates. System diagnostics can be accessed via the RS-232 port or RJ-45 Ethernet port
of both remote and console FMB-X-2.5 cards. More information about diagnostics is provided in the
diagnostics manual (P/N 903-0622-00).
Note: The FMB-X-2.5 FPGA-based SERDES optical link is not optically compatible with GLINK-based FMB
cards such as FMB-VTX, FMB-VRX or GLINK FMB-X cards. These older cards must be updated in pairs
(remote and console). More details about upgrading to FMB-X-2.5 are found in the Model 903 User’s Guide
903-0623-00.
3.1.1 Remote FMB-X-2.5
Card P/N 903-5082-00
The front panel view of the remote FMB-X-2.5 is shown in the figure below. Redundant ST fiber connectors
are accessible on the right angled turret. An internal splitter provides roughly equal power output levels on
both ST connectors. Typically the output power should be greater than -6 dBm at 1310 nm (uplink) and the
receive sensitivity at the turret should be better than -24 dBm at 1550 nm (downlink).

LEDs on the front panel match those described in the console FMB-X-2.5 section and allow direct monitoring
of the optical link status (LINK), optical receive power (FO-RX), and the status (STAT) of the on-board
diagnostics. See the console FMB-X-2.5 section for more details on LEDs.
The Ethernet port supports both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps devices on the copper link. The optical Ethernet link
through the multiplexer is 100 Mbps. The older GLINK FMB-X supports only 10 Mbps through the multiplexer.
The maximum data rate supported by the Ethernet link is indicated on the panel silk screen and is an easy
way to differentiate the FMB-X-2.5 (100M) and older FMB-X (10M) cards.
Diagnostics for the FMB-X-2.5 can be accessed at the RS-232 port on both remote and console cards, and
also via the RJ-45 Ethernet port at both remote and console ends. See console FMB-X-2.5 for more
information about diagnostics and also refer to diagnostics manual 903-0622-00.
A plan view of the remote FMB-X-2.5 is shown in the figure below. The 1310/1550 nm singlemode WDM
coupler and 1 x 2 splitter are not visible: both are mounted on the underside of the optical daughtercard below
the two dual LC bushings shown.
Figure 3-2: Remote FMB-X-2.5 Plan View
No customer switch settings are required for configuration of the FMB-X-2.5 remote card. All video channels
are handled at 10-bit digitization and all data slots are sampled as “high speed” slots, similar to slot “D” on
older 903 systems.

Description
VIDEO
VIDEO LEDs are green when video sync is detected on each video channel from slot A and
slot B in the rack.
LINK
LINK LED is green when a valid optical link is being received and red if no link is present. A
valid optical link means that the local FMB is receiving valid data frames from the far end card.
FO-RX
FO-RX LED is green when the received optical power is within specified operating range, i.e.
above the minimum sensitivity and below the saturation level. This LED will change to orange
(warning) when the receive power is within roughly 2-3 dB of the receiver failing at low power
or within roughly 1-2 dB of saturating and failing at high power. The LED will change to red
(alarm) when the power level is either too low or too high to provide a reliable optical link,
although in some cases the link will still be functional with a higher than normal bit error rate.
Warning and alarm thresholds are stored in registers in the SFP transceivers. Problems with
optical power should be investigated using the diagnostic software and/or fiber optic power
meters.
3.1.2 Console FMB-X-2.5
Card P/N 903-5083-00
The front panel view of the console FMB-X-2.5 is shown in the figure below. Redundant ST fiber connectors
are accessible as straight bushings on the front panel marked "F1" and "F2". An internal fiber switch chooses
one of the fibers for the optical link, either automatically or manually via the front panel toggle switch. Typically
the output power should be greater than -2 dBm at 1550 nm (downlink) and the receive sensitivity at the front
panel should be better than -28 dBm at 1310 nm (uplink).
Figure 3-3: Console FMB-X-2.5 Front Panel
LEDs on the front panel of the remote or console FMB-X-2.5 provide status of video channels, optical link,

Description
STAT
STAT (Status) LED is green when on-board diagnostic readings are within expected values.
The STAT LED is orange (warning) if any of the on-board diagnostic readings are close to an
alarm state. The STAT LED is red (alarm) if any of the on-board diagnostic readings are
outside of the specified range, in which case the diagnostic software should be used to
troubleshoot the problem. Monitored signals included temperature and all major voltage rails
(+12V, -12V, +5V, and +3.3V). An alarm state exists if any voltage is worse than ±20% of
nominal value or temperature is > +80C. A warning state exists if any voltage is worse than
±10% of nominal value or temperature is > +75C, but the reading is not in an alarm state.
F1/F2
F1/F2 LEDs indicate which fiber is active, per the marked ST bushings. The active fiber is
shown by the green LED. The LED(s) will turn red if no link is present.
AUTO
AUTO LED is green when the fiber switch is in automatic mode, as determined by the toggle
switch position. When in automatic mode and there is no link, this LED will be red.

Diagnostics are available at the 1/8" (3.5 mm) stereo jack in RS-232 format compatible with the standard
Model 903 Diagnostics GUI software, e.g. 903-0406-00. Wiring for the RS-232 connections is shown in the
figure below.
Figure 3-4: FMB-X-2.5 RS-232 Diagnostic Cable: 1/8” (3.5 mm) Stereo to DB9F
The functions described in the figure above are relative to the PC (DB9 side), i.e. TX is data transmitted from
the PC to the FMB-X-2.5 and RX is data received into the PC from the FMB-X-2.5. This RS-232 interface also
has command based diagnostics, which provides advanced diagnostics information. See 903-0622-00
diagnostic manual for more information.
Diagnostics are also available via the RJ-45 port as Modbus TCP/IP or through an embedded web server.
Since this port is also used for general Ethernet traffic between remote and console, diagnostics packets are
handled as low priority and must be polled by the external computer. When accessed, diagnostic data
packets typically use up less than 0.1% of the Ethernet channel capacity.
The fiber switch may be placed in automatic mode or forced to fiber F1 or F2 using the front panel toggle
switch (toggle up forces the fiber switch to F1 and toggle down forces it to F2). In automatic mode, with the
toggle switch in the center position, the FMB-X-2.5 tests both fibers on initial power up and chooses the one
with the highest optical power. This will stay locked until the switch is forced to the other fiber, via the toggle
switch, or link is lost on the active fiber. The active fiber is indicated by a green LED next to either F1 or F2.
The LED marked "AUTO" is green when in automatic switching mode and off when in manual mode.
When the optical link is lost in auto mode, the switch toggles automatically roughly once per second between
F1 and F2 for up to 10 times. If no link is found, the switch returns to the original fiber it was on before the link
failure and waits for a link to be re-established. In this fault state, the “AUTO”, “F1” and “F2” LEDs are red and
a continuous audible alarm is produced until a fiber link is restored. Power cycling or manually forcing the
toggle switch to a fiber (F1 or F2 position) and then back to AUTO will reset the automatic fiber switch.

The FMB-X-2.5 also sounds a continuous audible alarm when an optical link fails in AUTO mode, even if the
other fiber has a valid link. This informs the operator of a fiber fault that otherwise might not be noticed, as the
switchover from one fiber to the other is often seamless. The alarm can be turned off by briefly forcing the
toggle switch to the active fiber in manual mode and then back to the automatic setting. The FMB-X-2.5 alarm
can also be disabled via software commands.
A plan view of the console FMB-X-2.5 is shown below. The 1310/1550 nm singlemode WDM coupler is not

The backplane cards are used to connect all the Model 903 cards and PSU modules together to make up a
Model 903 system. There are two main types of backplanes for 903 systems based on FMB-X-2.5 cards. One
is the standard -X backplane and the other is the high density -X backplane. Both types of backplanes provide
diagnostic capabilities that are used to monitor the overall status of the system.
The following table provides a list of the different backplanes used in the 4VID and 8VID systems. This table
also shows a cross reference between the backplane P/Ns and rack P/Ns.
Table 3-4: -X Backplanes Used in 4VID and 8VID Systems
For the 4VID and 8VID systems, each video and data slot occupies a standard 0.8” (4HP=0.8”) width in the
card rack. The FMB-X-2.5 and power supply slots are 1.6” (8HP) wide and the front panel power switch on
the console modules is 1.2” (6HP) wide. Boards are referenced by location within the rack in relation to the
FMB-X-2.5 slot C.
As shown in the table above, the three digits following the CBP- designator (under the “Card Rack” column)
represent the number of video, data, and power supply unit (PSU) slots respectively. An “R” in the suffix
indicates the remote rack and a “C” in the suffix indicates the console rack.
As shown in the table above, the high density -X backplane uses a proprietary 12HP/16HP design including
guided card slots for one or two high density boards (HDB-TX) and one fiber optic multiplexer board
(FMB-X-2.5). Each HDB slot takes a 4HP wide card; each FMB-X-2.5 slot takes an 8HP wide card. Note that
the high density remote racks do not have a PSU slot and instead they have DC-DC converters mounted on
the backplane. These backplanes are single voltage input (+24 VDC).

As a default configuration, AGND and DGND are connected on the backplane through a
ferrite bead. Insulating covers are used over the primary terminals as a safety precaution
and must not be removed while the rack is connected to mains power.
For 230 VAC inputs, typically there are two line connections rather than line and neutral.
The neutral wires and terminals should always be assumed to be at high voltage.
3.2.1 Standard -X Backplanes
Card P/N: 903-7213-00; 903-7210-00
The standard -X backplanes described in this section are used on the 4VID (BP P/N: 903-7213-00,
28 HP) and 8VID (BP P/N: 903-7210-00, 44 HP) console modules.
Assembly views of a 28 HP -X backplane PCB (CBP-121-XR/XC) and a 44 HP -X backplane PCB
(CBP-241-XR/XC) are given in Figure 3-6 and Figure 3-7 respectively. The bottom side of the backplane
faces outwards from the assembly and is accessible by removing the back cover plate. Fuse F1 is a standard
replaceable glass cartridge type for the primary power input (fuse value depends on type of power supply).
Header J15 is a serial number programming port; J13 is a connector to the chassis fan. Rail voltages and
grounds are directly accessible via screw terminals J18, J19, J9, J17, and J10 for +12 V, -12 V, +5 V, AGND
(analog ground), and DGND (digital ground) respectively.
Primary power inputs are wired into screw terminals:
J16 is not connected for AC sources and acts as the 0V reference for DC sources
J12 is neutral for AC sources and is not connected for DC sources
J11 is line for AC sources and +V input for DC sources
J14 is an earth connection that is made through the power supply module to the mechanical rack, but
is otherwise isolated from all other grounds unless external connections are made
