Fiber Optic SFP Card Module
Revision 1.0 Page - 1
1. OVERVIEW
The Evertz 7708SFP series is a card-based equivalient 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. The
7708SFP series offers 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 over
coming the limitations imposed by coaxial cable in intra-facility applications.
The 3405 series SFP’s are able to handle ASI, SDI, HD-SDI and 3G digital video signals, as well as
other signal rates up to 3 Gig on non-reclocked versions (e.g. MADI). The SFP modules are hot-
swappable on the rear panel, allowing for quick servicing or easy configuration or expansion at any
time. 16 CWDM wavelengths are also available, which when combined with Evertz CWDM products
allows up to 16 signals to be multiplexed on to a single fiber, greatly conserving fiber usage.
The 7708SFP modules support full remote monitoring and control over SNMP/VistaLINK® when used
in conjunction with an Evertz fame with frame controller module. Numerous paramaters such as optical
power and electrical signal presence and rate can be accessed remotely to monitor system integrity.
Features & Benefits
•Models available to hold one, two or four SFP’s to suit different capacity requirements
•Models available with BNC or DIN 1.0/2.3 connectors to suit different density or connector
preferences
•Any combination of 3405SFP types may be installed in a single card including optical transmit,
receive, regenerator and electrical distribution amplifiers
•SFP modules are hot-swappable from the rear plate
•7708SFP card modules are hot swappable through the front of the frame
•Comprehensive signal and card status monitoring via four digit card edge display or remotely
through SNMP and VistaLINK®when used in conjunction with an Evertz frame controller
module
