Product Overview
DESCRIPTION
The FT8301A miniature fiber transmitter provides the ability to transmit one composite video channel
over one optical fiber. The FT8301A transmitter is compatible with the single-channel FR8301A and
dual-channel FR8302A receivers. In addition, the FT8301A transmitter is backward compatible with
the single-channel FR8301 receiver.
®
Specially designed for use in Pelco
Series fixed mount domes, the FT8301A transmitter can also be used as a standalone module (refer
to Figure 1).
Features of the FT8301A transmitter include the following:
• 8-bit digitally encoded video for high-quality video transmission over a single fiber
• Multimode fiber support for distances up to 6 km (3.7 mi)
• Single-mode fiber support for distances up to 46 km (28.6 mi)
• Exceeds all requirements for the RS-250C Medium-Haul Transmission specification
• Compatible with NTSC, PAL, and SECAM video standards
• Designed to meet NEMA TS 2 and Caltrans traffic signal control equipment standards for
ambient operating temperature, mechanical shock and vibration, humidity with condensation,
high-line/low-line voltage conditions, and transient voltage protection
NOTE: Conformal coating is required for operation in environments with relative humidity
above 95% (condensing).
• No performance adjustments required
• 12 VDC or 24 VAC power supply
• LED indicators for monitoring of signal status and laser status
The FT8301A transmitter is a Class 1 laser product that complies with FDA radiation performance
standard 21CFR Subchapter J and with IEC 60825-1 Edition 1.2, 2001-08.

CONNECTIONS
Before mounting the FT8301A transmitter, note the following transmitter connections (refer to
Figure 3):
• Power connection
NOTES:
– A 12 VDC or 24 VAC power supply can be used to power the transmitter. A 12 VDC
power supply is provided. If a 24 VAC power supply is used, the power supply must be a
Listed Direct Plug-In Power Unit marked as Class 2 and rated as 24 VAC, 200 mA
(minimum output).
– In extreme temperature conditions, it is recommended that an industrial-rated outdoor
power supply such as the Pelco WCS1-4 power supply be used.
• Fiber connection
• Video input connection (UTP or BNC per channel)
NOTE: When connecting to the UTP connector, it is recommended that solid UTP wire rather
than stranded UTP wire be used. If stranded UTP wire is used, it is recommended that you tin
the stranded wire.
