2405OE SMPTE 259M Re-Clocking Fiber to Electrical Converter
Revision 1.1 2405OE-1
1. OVERVIEW
The 2405OE Fiber to Electrical converter provides an economical method of converting incoming optical
distribution for SMPTE 259M (143 - 360Mb/s) serial digital signals to in-plant coaxial distribution. The
companion 2405EO Electrical to Fiber converter facilitates conversion from coaxial distribution at the
source. 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 2405OE converter features one optical input, one coaxial input with two re-clocked serial digital
outputs. A coaxial SDI input can be used as a fallback source, in case of optical link failure or can be
selected as the primary input. It 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.
Features:
• Reclocking for all SDTV video rates including SMPTE 259M (143Mb/s-360Mb/s), SMPTE 344M
(540Mb/s), DVB-ASI (270Mb/s) and SMPTE 310M (19.4Mb/s)
• Independent isolated output drivers to ensure no cross channel loading effects and maintain polarity
from input to output for DVB-ASI applications
• Operation with multi-mode or single-mode fiber
• SC/PC, ST/PC or FC/PC connector options
• Comprehensive signal, laser and modules status indicator LEDs
• Rugged, small form factor enclosure
• Low power +12 VDC operation

2. INSTALLATION
The 2405EO is a compact module that has two BNC connectors and one SC/PC (shown), ST/PC or
FC/PC optical connector.
Table 2-1: 2405OE Module
SDI 1 INPUT: This SC/PC (shown), ST/PC or FC/PC female optical connector is the primary input to the
2405OE, providing reclocking of serial digital signals at the specified rates. This wide range
input accepts optical wavelengths of 1310nm to 1610nm, accommodating standard or CWDM
transmission schemes.
SDI 2 INPUT: This BNC input provides a second Serial Video input. When the SOURCE DIP switches
are set to the AUTO mode, the module will switch to the coaxial input in case of optical link
failure. In addition either input may also be selected as the sole signal source. See section 5.2
for more information on setting the SOURCE DIP switches.
SDI OUTPUT:The 2405OE provides two coaxial outputs for signal distribution. These outputs will contain
the signal from either the optical or coaxial input depending on the settings of the SOURCE DIP
switches. Only the SDI OUTPUT closest to the SDI 1 INPUT connector maintains the correct
polarity for DVB-ASI signals.
The 2405OE 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
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
2405OE.

2.1. CARE AND HANDLING OF OPTICAL FIBER
2.1.1. Safety
Never look directly into an optical fiber. Non-reversible damage to the eye can
occur in a matter of milliseconds.
The laser modules used in the Evertz fiber optic modules are Class I, with a maximum output power of
2mW, and wavelengths of either 1310 nm or 1470 to 1610 nm.
2.1.2. Handling And Connecting Fibers
"Never touch the end face of an optical fiber.
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 3 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. For further information about care and handling of fiber
optic cable see section 3 of this manual.

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 2405OE will reclock SMPTE 259M (143 to 360 Mb/s), SMPTE 344M (540 Mb/s) or DVB-ASI video signals.
On 310M The 2405OE will reclock SMPTE 310M (19.4 Mb/s) video signals.
Table 5-2: Reclock Mode Switch Setting
5.2. SELECTING THE INPUT SOURCE
DIP switches 2 and 3 allow the user to set whether the 2405OE will use the Optical or Coaxial Input.
DIP 2 DIP 3 DESCRIPTION
Auto
(default) Auto (default)
Set both switches to the AUTO position to enable automatic switching
between the SDI 1 (optical) and SDI 2 (coaxial) inputs. The optical
input is selected as the default signal source. If the module loses lock
on the optical signal and a signal carrier is present on the coaxial input,
the module will automatically switch to the coaxial input.
COAX Auto
Set switch 2 to the COAX position to select the SDI 2 (coaxial) input as
the only signal source.
Auto FIBER
Set switch 3 to the FIBER position to select the SDI 1 (optical) input as
the only signal source.

5.3. 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.
