2405EO SMPTE259M Re-Clocking Electrical to Fiber Converter
Revision 2.1 2405EO-1
1. OVERVIEW
The 2405EO Electrical to Fiber converter provides an economical method of connecting in-plant coaxial
distribution and longer distance optical distribution for SMPTE 259M (143 - 540Mb/s) serial digital signals.
The companion 2405OE or 7705EO Fiber to Electrical converters facilitate conversion back to coaxial
distribution at the destination. The 2405EO is ideal for use in portable, remote and link extension
applications where the small size, rugged enclosure and high performance operation meet the stringent
requirements of these applications.
The 2405EO converter features one auto-equalized coaxial input with two reclocked serial digital outputs
and one reclocked fiber output. The 2405EO has been designed to be used primarily as a reclocking
SMPTE 259M or DVB-ASI distribution amplifier and converter, however SMPTE 310M (19.4 Mb/s) signals
can also be reclocked.
The 2405EO is available in different versions to meet a variety of applications. (See specifications for
complete information)
2405EO3F 1310 nm MQW Suitable for distances up to 6 Km @ 1.5 Gb/s
2405EO3D 1310 nm DFB Suitable for distances up to 40 Km @ 1.5 Gb/s
2405EO5D 1550 nm DFB Suitable for distances up to 50 Km @ 1.5 Gb/s
There are several versions with built-in isolators specifically suited to coarse wave division multiplexing
(CWDM) applications. When combined with the Evertz 7705CWDM Coarse Wave Division
Multiplexor/Demultiplexor products, up to eight independent signal types on separate wavelengths can be
combined on a single fiber. These versions are suitable for distances up to 75 Km @ 270 Mb/s.

2. INSTALLATION
The 2405EO is a compact module that has three BNC connectors and one SC/PC (shown), ST/PC or
FC/PC optical connector.
Figure 2-1: 2405EO Module
SDI INPUT: Input BNC connector for 10-bit serial digital video signals compatible with the
SMPTE 259M, DVB-ASI or SMPTE 310M standard. See section 5.1 for information on
choosing the correct video standard.
SDI OUTPUT:There are two BNC connectors with reclocked serial component video outputs, compatible
with the SMPTE 259M or SMPTE 310M standard. Only the SDI OUTPUT closest to the SDI
OUPUT Fiber connector maintains the correct polarity for DVB-ASI signals.
There is one SC/PC (shown), ST/PC or FC/PC female connector with reclocked serial
component video outputs, compatible with the SMPTE 259M, DVB-ASI or SMPTE 310M
standard. This connector is the optical output from the 2405EO as shown in section 3.3.
The 2405EO comes with an auto-ranging DC voltage adapter that automatically senses the
input voltage. Power should be applied by connecting a 3-wire grounding type power supply
cord to the power entry module on the DC voltage adapter. The power cord should be a
minimum 18 AWG wire size; type SST marked VW-1, maximum 2.5 m in length. The DC cable
of the voltage adapter should be connected to the DC power jack on the rear panel. A green
LED located beside the power connector will be illuminated when there is power applied to the
2405EO.

2.1.4. Handling And Connecting Fibers
"
Never touch the end face of an optical fiber. Always keep dust caps on optical fiber
connectors when not connected and always remember to properly clean the optical end
facet of a connector before making a connection.
The transmission characteristics of the fiber are dependent on the shape of the optical core and therefore
care must be taken to prevent fiber damage due to heavy objects or abrupt fiber bending. Evertz
recommends that you maintain a minimum bending radius of 5 cm to avoid fiber-bending loss that will
decrease the maximum attainable distance of the fiber cable. The Evertz fiber optic modules come with
cable lockout devices, to prevent the user from damaging the fiber by installing a module into a slot in the
frame that does not have a suitable I/O module.

5.1. SELECTING THE VIDEO STANDARD
DIP switch 1 determines whether the module will operate as a distribution amplifier with SMPTE 259M
(143 to 360 Mb/s), SMPTE 344M (540 Mb/s) or DVB-ASI video signals or with SMPTE 310M (19.4 Mb/s)
signals as shown in Table 5-2.
DIP 1 FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
Off 259M
(default) The 2405EO will reclock SMPTE 259M (143 to 360 Mb/s), SMPTE 344M (540 Mb/s) or DVB-ASI video signals.
On 310M The 2405EO will reclock SMPTE 310M (19.4 Mb/s) video signals.
Table 5-2: Reclock Mode Switch Setting
5.2. SETTING THE EQUALIZER WARNING THRESHOLD
The EQ Adj. trimpot (accessible by removing the top cover of the module) is used to set the threshold of
the cable equalizer warning. The equalizer warning is factory set to 250 meters of Belden 8281 cable, but
may be adjusted for other cable types or cable lengths. To adjust the cable equalizer warning threshold,
connect a signal to the input of the module using the required length of cable. Adjust the trimpot slowly
until the Weak Signal warning LED comes on. You can verify that the equalizer warning is operating
correctly by removing a few meters of cable from the input. The LED should go off.
