1 Product overview

The Flashlink compact II is a range of low power, low price and small form factor optical to
electrical converters. It can convert up to 36 channels in 1RU and optically multiplex all
channels onto two fibers with the use of two optional 18 channel CWDM filters. Both EO
and OE converters have an SD/HD/3G-SDI reclocker and supports bypass for none
broadcast bitrates. The Flashlink Compact II can be controlled and monitored by Multicon
Gyda or configured to be a standalone converter. The optical conversions are based on
Nevion’s hot pluggable SFP modules. The Flashlink Compact II is equipped with an extra
power inlet for dual power supply redundancy, either from an extra SL-PWR-40/SL-PWR­90, the 1RU FC-PWR or battery pack.

1.1 Product versions

All 18 channel versions are supplied with one SL-PWR-40
All 36 channel versions are supplied with one SL-PWR-90(can be used for all 18 channel

versions without damage)
Extra powers supplies can be ordered for all versions.
