INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing your American Fibertek Series 93200SL singlemode thirty two
channel video multiplexer. Please take a few minutes to read these installation instructions in
order to obtain the maximum performance from this product.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The 93200SL Series units operate as a transmitter / receiver pair for the digital transmission of
thirty two simultaneous NTSC or PAL video signals over one singlemode fiber optic cable.
The RT-93200SL transmitter accepts up to thirty two video inputs in four groups containing eight
videos each. The eight videos from each group are multiplexed into a high speed serial data
stream. The first group’s serial data stream modulates a laser at 1470nm wavelength. The
second group’s serial data stream modulates a laser at 1490nm wavelength. This pattern is
repeated for group’s three and four using wavelengths 1510nm and 1530nm respectively. A
Course Wave Division Multiplexer (CWDM) combines these four wavelengths onto a single
optical output port for connection to the fiber transmission system. Correspondingly, the RR-
93200SL receiver converts the optical signal to thirty two independent video outputs.
The 93200SL Series product is designed to operate over an optical loss budget range of 0dB to
21dB on 9um singlemode fiber. Refer to the product specification sheet for additional
performance data.
RT-93200SL COMPONENTS
The RT-93200SL consists of the following components:
1) RT-980-1470
1) RT-980-1530 1) SR-20 1) BPS-1
1) RT-980-1490 4) PCSC/UPC-0.3 1) PSR-2 1) BPS-2
1) RT-980-1510 1) RT-CWDM-4
The individual 980 series video rack cards that make up the RT-93200SL are combined in a
rack mount configuration using the SR-20 subrack. Please refer to the instruction manuals for
the SR-20 and the PSR-2 for information on the installation of the subrack with its power supply.
The individual 980 series rack cards can slide into any two adjacent open slots in the SR-20
subrack, however, the recommended configuration is shown on the next page. Use a small
screwdriver to push and lock the four ¼ turn fasteners into place.
