FDT-6604 Series User Manual (Iss. 03) Introduction • 1–1

Overview

The FDT-6604 series provides the ability to transport digital video baseband signals over a fiber
optic link, allowing for longer transport distances. SDI outputs are reclocked providing excellent
jitter and return loss specifications. This card also supports serial digital data rates from 270Mbps
up to 2.98Gbps (1080p). LED indicators at the front of the card identify the presence of incoming
video and the identified signal data rates for each channel independently.

The FDT-6604 series cards are fully hot swappable with all active components on the front
removable module. No active components are installed on the rear module. This design greatly
reduces down time eliminating any need for users to access the back of the rack frame.

The FDT-6604 series includes a serial digital SDI to fiber optic converter capable of equalizing
and reclocking all common serial digital signals. Each channel of the card equalizes the incoming
SDI signal, reclocks the signal with automatic rate detection for all popular data rates. Each
channel is fully independent and can run at different data rates.

FDT-6604 Wavelengths

The FDT-6604 transmits at 1310nm on both channels and is targeted for point to point
connections. For multiplexed optical connections or different wavelengths, select the appropriate
part from the FDT-6604 CWDM Series.

FDT-6604 CWDM Series Wavelengths

The FDT-6604 is also available with Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) lasers.
These models are identified with a two digit suffix as indicated in Ta bl e 1 .1 . The output
wavelengths for each model are also indicated.
