The Evertz 7708SFP series is a card-based equivalent to the 3405FR series fiber optic SFP frames. The 7708SFP series can accommodate any 3405 series SFP, allowing the SFP cages to be populated as needed with optical transmit, receive, regenerator or electrical distribution amplifier SFP's. Any combination of 3405SFP types may be used on the same card, making countless versatile combinations possible. Cards are available to hold one, two or four SFP's making them not only flexible, but also a very high-density and cost-effective solution for constructing modern fiber optic infrastructures. Benefits of fiber optics for video transport include longer attainable distances, smaller/lighter cabling, reduced cable tray loads and electrical isolation. The 7708SFP series provides a low-overhead means for simple electrical/optical conversion for interfacility transport, as well as overcoming the limitations imposed by coaxial cable in intra-facility applications.
3405 series SFP's are able to handle ASI, SDI, HD-SDI and 3G digital video signals, as well as other signal rates up to 3 Gig on non-reclocked versions (e.g. MADI). The SFP modules are hot-swappable on the rear panel, allowing for quick servicing or easy reconfiguration or expansion at any time. 16 CWDM wavelengths are also available, which when combined with Evertz CWDM products allow up to 16 signals to be multiplexed on to a single fiber, greatly conserving fiber usage.
The 7708SFP modules support full remote monitoring and control over SNMP/VistaLINK® when used in conjunction with an Evertz frame with frame controller module. Numerous parameters such as optical power and electrical signal presence and rate can be accessed remotely to monitor system integrity.
