“WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.”
General Installation Instructions
Please consider these general instructions in addition to any product-specific instructions in the “Installation” chapter of this manual.
Unpacking
Check the equipment for any transport damage. If the unit is mechanically damaged, if liquids have been spilled or if objects have fallen into the
unit, it must not be connected to the AC power outlet, or it must be immediately disconnected by unplugging the power cable. Repair must only be
performed by trained personnel in accordance with the applicable regulations.
Installation Site
Install the unit in a place where the following conditions are met:
•The temperature and the relative humidity of the operating environment must be within the specified limits during operation of the
unit. Values specified are applicable to the air inlets of the unit.
•Condensation may not be present during operation. If the unit is installed in a location subject to large variations of ambient
temperature (e.g. in an OB-van), appropriate precautions must be taken.
•Unobstructed airflow is essential for proper operation. Ventilation openings of the unit are a functional part of the design and must
not be obstructed in any way during operation (e.g. - by objects placed upon them, placement of the unit on a soft surface, or
improper installation of the unit within a rack or piece of furniture).
•The unit must not be unduly exposed to external heat sources (direct sunlight, spot lights).
Ambient Temperature
Units and systems by FiberPlex are generally designed for an ambient temperature range (i.e. temperature of the incoming air) of 5 °C to 40 °C (41
°F to 104 °F). When rack mounting the units, the following facts must be considered:
•The permissible ambient temperature range for operation of the semiconductor components is 0 °C to +70 °C (32 °F to 158 °F)
(commercial temperature range for operation).
•The airflow through the installation must allow exhaust air to remain cooler than 70 °C (158 °F) at all times.
•Average temperature increase of the cooling air shall be about 20 °C (68 °F), allowing for an additional maximum 10 °C increase at
the hottest components.
If the cooling function of the installation must be monitored (e.g. for fan failure or illumination with spot lamps), the exhaust air temperature must
be measured directly above the modules at several places within the enclosure.
Grounding and Power Supply
Grounding of units with mains supply (Class I equipment) is performed via the protective earth (PE) conductor integrated in three-pin Phoenix™
connector. Units with battery operation (< 60 V, Class III equipment) must be earthed separately. Grounding the unit is one of the measures for
protection against electrical shock hazard (dangerous body currents). Hazardous voltage may not only be caused by defective power supply
insulation, but may also be introduced by the connected audio or control cables.
This equipment may require the use of a different line cord, attachment plug, or both, depending on the available power source at installation. If
the attachment plug needs to be changed, refer servicing to qualified personnel.

Theory of Operation
Many sorts of interfaces, not just fiber, are now available in the SFP/SFP+ format, including Full HD video and
networking. On the user, connector side, they support the signals appropriate to those protocols, but then
convert them internally to a standard stream of high-speed serial data. The FOI/TD-6010 connects those
standard streams together, so that the different interface protocols can talk the same language.
Since the fiber-based SFPs are the most generic, it is usually possible to connect, not only two different copper
interfaces together in the same FOI/TD-6010, but also to interpose a fiber link between them. Since the range
of signals over fiber is so much greater than that of copper, this allows significant expansion of the range of
those protocols.
SFPs also have an additional, low-speed serial interface that provides identification, monitoring and also
control of the devices through the processor in the FOI/TD-6010.
The FOI-6010and TD-6010 support transceiver SFP and SFP+ ONLY. For non-MSA dual TX and dual RX SFP
and SFP+ use the FOI-6012 or TD-6012.
Differences between FOI-6010 and TD-6010
Functionally, the FOI-6010 and TD-6010 are identical. The only differences are the packaging and power
supply. The FOI-6010 is part of the FOI line of products designed for ruggedized mil applications. It is housed in
the familiar FOI shielded can enclosure. For standalone applications it can be powered by adding a PSQ-4909
AC supply or a PSQ-4920 DC power supply (not included). Optionally, up to 8 FOI units can be mounted on
CMA chassis adapters and installed in an RMC-3101 or RMC-2101 rack mount chassis. The units are powered
redundantly by a common back plane connection.
The TD-6010 is housed in the commercial ‘Throw Down’ packaging. This version is designed to be a workhorse
unit in various commercial and industrial environments. It is powered either by a 9VDC ‘Wall Wart’ style
supply (included) or via bussed power supplied through an integrated three-pin Phoenix™ connector. Up to six
TD-6010 units can be installed in the optional 1U TDR-01 rack shelf.

Getting Started
Initial Inspection
Immediately upon receipt, inspect the shipping container for damage. The container should be retained until
the shipment has been checked for completeness and the equipment has been checked mechanically and
electrically. If the shipment is incomplete, if there is mechanical damage, or if the unit fails to operate notify
FiberPlex and make the shipping materials available for the carrier's inspection.

Front Indicators/Connections
Figure 1 TD-6010 (left) and FOI-6010 (right) Front Face
SFP Port A – Install SFPs in this slot. These slots conform to the SFP MSA (INF-8074i more information
later in this manual) as well as non-MSA pinouts. They will only support transceiver SFPs. Any standard MSA or
non-MSA complaint SFP can be used in these slots including but not limited to optical modules with data rates
in the range of 155Mbps to 12.5 Gbps, Ethernet copper modules, video copper modules, copper quadrax SFP
to SFP cables, etc.
Each channel is independent and will accept any format and any user supplied SFP module that is appropriate
for the user’s equipment. Above 500 Mbps, ultra-low jitter SFP’s are recommended (40 psec.) as well as ITU-T
G.652.D/IEC 60793-2-50.B1.3 compliant fiber optic cable.
SFP Port B – A second SFP slot functionally equivalent to SFP Port A. Any SFP installed in this slot will be
directly electrically connected to the SFP in Port A. Any signals presented in the Receive of Port A will exit on
the Transmit of Port B and vice versa.

Power Requirements and Mounting
Flexible mounting allows the FOI-6010 to be chassis mounted or standalone configuration. Any combination of
8 FiberPlex FOI units can be mounted in a RMC-3101 using CMA-2001 chassis mount adapters. The RMC-3101
can accommodate hot swapped redundant power. Alternately, the FOI-6010 can be used in a standalone
application when paired with a PSQ-4909 for full range AC operation or the PSQ-4920 for 12-48VDC operation.

Inserting and Removing SFP Modules
Identify the Latch Type of the SFP Module
SFP Modules have various latching mechanisms to secure them into the SFP Cage of a device. The FiberPlex
WDM can support a host of manufacturers and brands of SFP Modules so the user may encounter any number
of different latches. Some of these are described below.
Bail Clasp
The bail clasp SFP module has a clasp
that you use to remove or install the SFP
module.
Actuator Button
The actuator button SFP module includes a button that you
push in order to remove the SFP module from a port. This
button can either lift ‘Up’ or press ‘In’ to release the SFP
Module depending on the manufacturer.
Mylar Tab
The Mylar tab SFP module has a tab that
you pull to remove the module from a
port.
Slide Tab
The slide tab SFP module has a tab underneath the front of the
SFP module that you use to disengage the module from a port.
Handling Warnings
SFP Modules are static sensitive. To prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD), it is
recommended to attach an ESD preventative wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface when
you install or remove an SFP Module.
Disconnect all optical or copper cables from SFP Modules prior to installing or removing the SFP Module.
Failure to do so could result in damage to the cable, cable connector or the SFP Module itself. Removing
and inserting an SFP Module can shorten its useful life, so you should not remove and insert SFP Modules
any more often than is absolutely necessary.
Protect optical SFP modules by inserting clean dust covers into them after the cables are removed. Be
sure to clean the optic surfaces of the fiber cables before you plug them back into the optical ports of
another SFP module. Avoid getting dust and other contaminants into the optical ports of your SFP
modules, because the optics will not work correctly when obstructed with dust.

Inserting a Module
1) Attach an ESD-preventative
wrist or ankle strap, following its
instructions for use.
2) Disconnect and remove all
interface cables from SFP
Module.
3) If the SFP Module has a Bail
Clasp , close the Bail Clasp
before inserting the SFP
Module.
4) With the gold finger connector on the bottom and the label on the top, line up the SFP Module
with the empty cage and slide it in making sure that it is completely inserted and seated in the
cage.
Removing a Module
1) Attach an ESD-
preventative wrist or
ankle strap, following its
instructions for use.
2) Disconnect and remove all interface
cables from SFP Module.
3) Release the latching mechanism.
•Bail Clasp – Open the bail clasp on the SFP
Module with your finger in a downward
direction.
•Actuator Button – Gently press the
actuator up (or in) while pulling the
body of the SFP Module to release the
SFP Module from the cage.
•Mylar Tab – Pull the tab gently in a
straight outward motion until it
disengages from the port. Make sure
the tab is not twisted when pulling as it may become disconnected from the SFP
Module.
•Slide Tab - With your thumb, push the slide tab on the
bottom front of the SFP module in the direction of the
equipment to disengage the module from the line card
port. If you pull on the SFP module without disengaging
the tab, you can damage the SFP module.
4) Grasp the SFP Module between your thumb and index
finger and carefully remove it from the port
5) Place the SFP Module on an antistatic mat, or
immediately place it in a static shielding bag or container
Actuator Button

Other Considerations
USB FiberPlex Auxilary Control (uFAC) Interface
The FOI-6010 includes a uFAC (FiberPlex Auxiliary Control over USB) interface which allows read write access
to status and parameter registers in both installed SFP/ SFP+ modules if supported by Fiberplex.
This port communicates over a USB 2.0-compliant, full speed connection, via a USB Micro-B connector. It
enumerates as a custom Fiberplex device, requiring its own driver. Please contact Fiberplex Technologies for
details and availability of the applications built around this interface.
Although power can be supplied across the port, it is recommended that the appropriate external supply for
the TD/FOI-6010 be used. Power supplied through the USB port itself is not sufficient to power the device with
SFPs installed.
Video Optimization
The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers, or SMPTE, is a leader in the development of standards
for film, television, and other video. The Serial Digital Interface or SDI, was standardized by SMPTE for
broadcast quality digital video transmission. Other standards evolved from this original standard, defining
Enhanced, High-definition (HD), 3G-SDI (1080p) and Ultra High-definition (UHD), or 4K video (2160p).
To help ensure error-free transmission, the standards include a data scrambler / descrambler to create a high
density of transitions in the serial data, making it easier for the receiver to maintain timing. Where an
encoding method such as 8B-10B ensures a minimal sequential run of all ones or zeros, it does so at the cost
of a 25% increase in bandwidth requirements. The scrambler / descrambler method does not require this, but
as a result there are certain combinations of scrambler state and the next data bits to be scrambled that result
in a sequence of up to twenty consecutive ones or zeros. These sequences are referred to as pathological
conditions, and are present in specific shades of pink or grey.
These pathological conditions may create errors in transmission through typical AC coupled optics, or any
other AC coupled interface. Video Enhanced or SMPTE Compliant optics are designed to accept these
pathological conditions, allowing the longer sequences of ones or zeros to pass without error.

SFP MSA Compliance
The SFP Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) is an agreement that was drafted among competing manufacturers of
SFP optical modules. The SFF Committee was formed to oversee the creation and maintenance of these
agreements including the SFP MSA designated as INF-8074i. This agreement describes a mutually agreed upon
standard for the form and function of SFP modules. However, not all SFPs produced are MSA compliant. The
MSA provides for a transceiver (TX/RX) pinout. Other industries such as broadcast had the need for dual TX
and dual RX SFP for unidirectional applications such as video. Naturally, a non-MSA standard was introduced
allocating pinout assignments for dual output and dual input I/O configurations. In addition, the some of the
internal serial communication pins were reassigned.
The FOI/TD-6010 will accept any of these pinout schemes in any combination. For example, you can have an
MSA compliant SFP in the A position and a non-MSA SFP in the B position. Of course, functionality will be
dependent on using functionally compatible modules. Either of the transceiver pinout schemes in the
following table are acceptable in either SFP slot.
