Thor Fiber uncompressed 3G-CWDM units, part number F-4SDI-B-3G-Tx/Rx-RM, come in a kit (Tx & Rx) and are standard-configuration fiber optic transmitters and receivers for Serial Digital signals up to 3G-SDI running at 3.0 Gbps. This system can be ordered with any standard CWDM optics package, and internal passives are available by request. This is a 4-channel system based on a standard 40km platform. No configuration or management is needed, as the system automatically adjusts to any input signal type regardless of bit rate or protocol. Easy-to-read LED indicators for Input Signal Detect and optical link are present for all channels. Units come standard with ST/PC fiber connectors and a 1RU 19" rackmount form factor to keep your rack clean. Simplified, easy-to-use plug-and-play units mean that anyone can deploy these in no time. Commercial-grade intricate parts mean these will work for years without hassle, and Thor Fiber's 5 year warranty and free tech support provide a stress-free guarantee.
Thor part number F-xSDI-Tx/Rx designates a fiber optic transmitter or receiver used to transport serialized digital signals up to 3.0 Gbps. Any channel configuration up to 16 channels per fiber can be designated by the value "x". Units can be configured to transport any number of SDI channels in either direction, up to a total of 16 per fiber. For even higher densities, DWDM systems are available by request. Thor uses high quality DFB lasers for maximum reliability and distance, with off-the-shelf models functioning up to 50km when used with single mode fiber. F-SDI systems will transport any digital signal from 1 Mbps to 3.0 Gbps independent of protocol or standard. These systems can be used for anything from 3G-SDI (SMPTE 424M) to multi-rate DVB-ASI, down to a single program at low bit rates. F-SDI units incorporate industry standard internal CWDM modules for compatibility with similar systems from other manufacturers, such as Python TM systems. This standardization allows Thor F-SDI equipment to be used in conjunction with other commercial off-the-shelf transmitters or receivers from other vendors, including Python TM series equipment. All outputs are automatically reclocked to eliminate problems with jitter and to allow for long cable runs out of the receiver. Applications range from live broadcast and Electronic News Gathering to government and scientific research applications.
