The 7708SFP series card module is a card-based module equivalent to the 3405FR series fiber optic SFP frames. The 7708SFP series can accommodate any 3405 series SFP, allowing the SFP cages to be populated as needed with optical transmit, receive, regenerator or electrical distribution amplifier SFP's. Cards are not only flexible, but also a very high-density and cost-effective solution for constructing modern fiber optic infrastructures. Benefits of fiber optics for video transport include longer attainable distances, smaller/lighter cabling, reduced cable tray loads and electrical isolation. The 7708SFP series provides a low-overhead means for simple electrical/optical conversion for interfacility transport, as well as overcoming the limitations imposed by coaxial cable in intra-facility applications. The 7708SFP modules support full remote monitoring and control over SNMP/VistaLINK® when used in conjunction with an Evertz frame with frame controller module. Numerous parameters such as optical power and electrical signal presence and rate can be accessed remotely to monitor system integrity.
