Reference Information

Specifications

N

The FOX HD-SDI is a transceiver that can function as a transmitter and/or as a receiver. Two units are required for a transmitter-receiver system with one fiber optic cable linking the two units. The FOX HD-SDI is available in single mode or multimode versions.

N

These transceivers are class 1 laser products. They meet the safety regulations of IEC-60825, FDA 21, CFR 1040.10, and

FDA 21 CFR 1040.11.
