WARNING
Never look directly into an optical fiber. Non-reversible damage to the eye can
occur in a matter of milliseconds.
"
Do not hook up the 7707EO-3G DWDM cards directly with a short fiber optic
cable. The 7707EO-3G DWDM cards produce +7dBm of power which will
damage the receiver if connected directly.
"
Do not hook up the 7707EO-3G cards that output more than -7dBm of power
(see 7707EO-3G specifications for output power of various laser types) and
7707OE-3G-H high sensitivity receiver cards directly with a short fiber optic
cable. The 7707EO-3G cards that produce more than -7dBm of power will
damage the receiver if connected directly.

2. INSTALLATION
The 7707EO-3G comes with a companion rear plate that has three BNC connectors and one SC/PC
(shown), ST/PC or FC/PC optical connector. For information on mounting the rear plate and inserting the
module into the frame see section 3 of the 7700FR chapter.

3G/HD/SDI INPUT: Input BNC connector for 10-bit serial digital video signals compatible with SMPTE
424M, SMPTE 292M, SMPTE 259M-C, SMPTE 305M, and DVB-ASI. This input
provides adaptive compensation for up to 70m of industry standard Belden
1694A cable at rates to 2.970Gb/s, 100m at 1.485Gb/s, and 250m at 270Mb/s.
3G/HD/SDI OUTPUT: There are two BNC connectors with serial component video outputs, compatible
with SMPTE 424M, SMPTE 292M, SMPTE 259M-C, SMPTE 305M, and DVB-

2.2. OPTICAL CONNECTIONS
FIBER OUTPUT: There is one SC/PC (shown), ST/PC or FC/PC female connector with the video
output converted to an optical signal as specified in section 3.3.
This optical output is available in 1310nm, 1550nm, up to sixteen CWDM
wavelengths (ITU-T G.694.2 compliant) and up to 40 DWDM wavelengths
(ITU-T G.694.1 compliant). The output wavelength is marked on the rear panel of
each module. When connected directly to a companion module, the output is
compatible with multi-mode fiber optic cable. If not connected directly (i.e.
connected through CWDM, DWDM, WDM, or splitter/combiner) the output is
compatible only with single-mode fiber optic cable.
"
Do not hook up the 7707EO-3G DWDM cards directly with a short fiber optic
cable. The 7707EO-3G DWDM cards produce +7dBm of power, which will
damage the receiver if connected directly.
"
Do not hook up the 7707EO-3G cards that output more than -7dBm of power
(see 7707EO-3G specifications for output power of various laser types) and
7707OE-3G-H high sensitivity receiver cards directly with a short fiber optic
cable. The 7707EO-3G cards that produce more than -7dBm of power will
damage the receiver if connected directly.

qualified Evertz technical personnel.
2.3.3. Labeling
Certification and Identification labels are combined into one label. As there is not enough room on the
product to place the label it is reproduced here in the manuals.
•There is no date of manufacture on this label as it can be traced by bar code label placed on the
Printed circuit board of each Evertz plug-in module
•The Model number is one of: 7707EO13-3G, 7707EO15-3G,

2.3.4. 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 face 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. For further information about care and handling of fiber
optic cable see section 3 of the Fiber Optics System Design section of this manual binder.
