GO2921B
Overview
The GO2921B is an optical transceiver module designed to transmit and receive electrical and optical serial digital signals as defined in SMPTE 297-2006.
The GO2921B is specifically designed for robust performance in the presence of SDI pathological patterns for SMPTE 259M, SMPTE 344M, SMPTE 292M and SMPTE 424M serial rates.
The GO2921B contains a PIN photodiode receiver and a 1310nm Fabry-Perot laser transmitter designed to provide error-free transmission of signals from 50Mbps to 3Gbps over single mode fiber (9/125). It is also hot-pluggable.
The GO2921B provides extensive operational status monitoring through an I2C interface. Input optical power is monitored in the receiver; output optical power and bias current are monitored in the transmitter. Other operating conditions, such as power supply and operating temperature, are also monitored. If a monitored parameter falls outside the pre-defined range, an alarm flag for the parameter is raised
Features/Highlights
- Robust error free transmission of signals from 50Mbps to 3Gbps with up to 30km single-mode fiber
- Maximum distance of 10km under worst-case conditions and 3Gbps video pathological signals
- Monitoring of laser bias current, average output power, receive optical power, supply voltage and temperature
- Alarm reporting
- Module ID polling
Key Applications
- SMPTE 297-2006 compatible optical-to-electrical interfaces
- Broadcast cameras
