INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing your American Fibertek RT-220C-SL singlemode two channel video
transmitter. Please take a few minutes to read these installation instructions in order to obtain
the maximum performance from this product.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The RT-220C-SL operates as half of a transmitter / receiver pair for the transmission of two
simultaneous, real time, baseband NTSC, PAL, RS170, or RS343 video signals. The RT-220C-
SL is designed to operate with the MR-220C-SL or RR-220C-SL two channel video receiver
over one singlemode fiber optic cable.
The RT-220C-SL transmitter accepts up to two video inputs. Each video input modulates a
separate FM carrier frequency to allow the total of two video signals to be combined onto one
fiber. The 220C-SL Series product is designed to operate over an optical loss budget range of 0
to 12 dB. The RT-220C-SL operates on 9 um singlemode fiber. Refer to the data sheets for
detailed specifications.
This unit is designed for rack mounting in any of the four American Fibertek subracks available.
The subrack model numbers are SR-20/1, SR-20R/1, SR-20/2, and SR-20D/2. Slide in rack
mounting and LED indicators provide for easy installation and monitoring of video and dc power.
The RT-220C-SL is designed for rack mounting only. For a modular stand alone version please
