GENERAL
This manual is a guide to the installation and operation of the
S708V and S7708V series digital fiber optic video multiplexer
systems. Please read the entire manual before installing the
equipment.
These multiplexers offer simultaneous digital transmission of
eight full-frame video signals (color or monochrome). The
S708V units use multimode fiber while the S7708V units operate
over single-mode fiber.
Note: The series numbers S708VT and S708VR will be used to
describe all models of transmitters and receivers unless noted
otherwise.
A complete system consists of a transmitter, S708VT, and a
receiver, S708VR. Units are designed for standalone operation
or for installation in Fiber Options’ 515R1 or 517R1 Card
Cages or 502R miniature enclosures. The S708VT transmitter
has four video inputs and one fiber output. The S708VR receiv-
er unit has one fiber input and four video outputs.
Unpacking the Unit
In the event that anything is missing from the following list, con-
tact your authorized Fiber Options dealer or representative.

1 INSTALLATION
1.1 INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
This fiber-optic link is supplied in two forms, as a stand-
alone module and as a rack card. Units should be
installed in dry locations protected from extremes of tem-
perature and humidity.
1.2 STANDALONE MODULES
Determine where the module is to be installed and
ensure that there is adequate space at both ends for
making the various cable connections and for reading the
diagnostic LEDs.
Standalone modules are provided with mounting holes
for four No. 6 screws (3-mm screws). The type of screw
chosen must be suitable for the surface on which the
module is to be mounted.
Some standalone modules consist of a rack card
installed in a standalone enclosure and are mounted in
the same manner. The rack card is normally installed in
the enclosure at the factory.
1.3 RACK CARDS:
Rack cards are designed to be installed in one of Fiber
Options’ 19-inch (483-mm) EIA standard card-cage
racks, either the 515R1 or the 517R1. They may also be
supplied in the 502R standalone rack-card enclosures.
1.3.1 515R1 AND 517R1 CARD CAGE RACKS
To install rack cards in a rack, follow these steps:
CAUTION: Fiber Options recommends that the power
switch on the rack power supply be turned OFF and that
the rack power supply is disconnected from any power
source.
Make sure that the card is oriented right-side up, and
slide it into the card guides in the rack until the edge con-
nector at the back of the card seats in the corresponding
slot in the rack’s connector panel. Seating may require
thumb pressure on the top and bottom of the card’s front
panel.
CAUTION: Take care not to press on any of the LEDs.
Tighten the two thumb screws on the card until the front
panel of the card is seated against the front of the rack.
1.3.2 502R STANDALONE ENCLOSURES
To install rack cards in standalone enclosures, follow
these steps:
CAUTION: The rack card module can ONLY be powered
by 13.5-16 VDC. AC power must not be used.

CAUTION: Fiber Options recommends that the enclosure
not be connected to any power source during installation.
Look inside the enclosure to determine the location of the
socket for the edge connector on the card. Orient the
card so that it will seat in the socket, and slide it into the
enclosure until the edge connector at the back of the card
seats in the socket. Seating may require thumb pressure
on the ends of the card’s front panel.
CAUTION: Take care not to press on any of the LEDs.
Tighten the two thumb screws on the card until the front
panel of the card is seated against the front of the rack.
2 SIGNAL CONNECTIONS
All fiber-optic links convert electrical signals of some type
or types into a light signal at the transmitter and convert
the light back to electrical signals for output at the receiv-
er. These electrical signal connections to the S708V
series consist of four BNC connectors on the transmitter
and receiver.
CAUTION: Make sure all peripheral equipment that is to
be connected to the fiber unit is turned OFF during instal-
lation.
NOTE: Fiber Options recommends using Belden 9259
RG59/U coaxial cable between the video equipment and
the fiber units. For best image, do not exceed the cable
manufacturer’s recommendation for maximum distance.
NOTE: Coaxial cable must be terminated with female
BNC connectors to properly couple with the Fiber
Options equipment.
Connect up to eight video sources, such as cameras, to
the S708VT transmitter using terminated coaxial cables.
Connect monitoring equipment to the S708VR receiver
with terminated coaxial cables.
3 OPTICAL CONNECTIONS
The standard optical connector on Fiber Options’ units is
the ST type. Connect the pre-terminated fiber to the two
fiber units.
4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
4.1 RACK MOUNT CARDS
Make sure the power switch of the power supply is OFF,
and plug the supplied power cord into a suitable outlet.
Press the power switch to apply power to the modules in
the rack.
4.2 STANDALONE MODULES
1. Identify the power connector and remove it from the
module.
2. Make sure the power supply is not connected to any
power source, and strip approximately 0.25-in (6-mm)
of insulation from the ends of the cable.
3. Taking care to observe correct polarization of the
cable (see Table 1 for standalone modules), insert one
lead into one of the screw sockets and tighten the
screw. Repeat for the other conductor. Confirm the
security of the connection by a light pull on the cable.
4. Seat the connector in its position in the fiber unit.
5. Plug the power supply into a suitable outlet.
CAUTION: The S708V can ONLY be powered by 13.5-
16 VDC. AC power must not be used.
Power up the peripheral equipment and verify system
operation by observing video on the monitor at the
receiver end.
5 TROUBLESHOOTING
If the system does not perform as expected, refer to
Table 2 for an explanation of how to diagnose system
faults using the LEDs built into the Fiber Options units.
