The fiber optic transceiver has a dedicated 6 port, Gigabit Ethernet switch. 4 Copper ports provide 1Gb/s connectivity for multiple Ethernet enabled devices or links to additional network switches. 1 optical port provides an Ethernet link over a single, bi-directional fiber connection for extended distances. An additional port is available for the OG3 frame’s optional internal GigE controller. The fiber optic transceiver is available in varieties link up to 80km link between 2 transceivers by using a higher output power and higher receiver sensitivity SFP.

CWDM options are available in standard and high sensitivity SFPs for use with external CWDM multiplexer and de-multiplexer systems. Up to 16 independent optical signals can be multiplexed down a single fiber. This allows up to 8 full duplex, gigabit Ethernet links over a single fiber, or any combination of audio, video and data optical signals using other Ross Video CWDM fiber products.
