Fiber Ready Distribution
AmpliÞers
Introduction
The 2040RDA-FR and 2040RDA-16FR Fiber Ready Distribution Amplifiers
provides one electrical input by either eight or sixteen non-inverting elec-
trical outputs for distributing SD, HD, and DVB-ASI signals. The module
also handles optical/electrical fiber conversion with optional low power
single mode SFP (Small-form Factor Pluggable)/LC 1310nm optical trans-
ceiver (input/output) or dual transmitter submodules. This provides both
optical inputs and outputs depending on the type of submodule installed
in the rear module.
Auto-detection and reclocking capability are available at all SD (standard
definition) and HD (high definition) data rates. The reclocking circuit can
be bypassed to distribute signals down to 4 Mbps.
The 2040RDA-FR and 2040RDA-16FR features include:
•2040RDA-FR: Eight BNC electrical outputs, one BNC electrical input, or
• 2040RDA-16FR: Sixteen BNC electrical outputs, one BNC electrical
input,
• Single mode fiber optic submodule option for dual transmitter (2 out-
puts) or transceiver (1 input/1 output),
•Module and SFP submodule are both hot-swappable,
•Automatic data rate detection,
•Reclocks at 143 Mb/s, 177 Mb/s, 270 Mb/s, 360 Mb/s, 540 Mb/s, or
1485 Mb/s,
•Distributes transport streams in bypass mode,
•Auto-adjust rise/fall times to meet either the SD or HD standard, and
• Supports networked control and monitoring in frames with 2000NET
module.

8 2040RDA-FR/16FR Instruction Manual
Installation
Installation
Installation of a 2040RDA-FR or 2040RDA-16FR module set is a process of:
• Setting on-board jumpers on the front media module for modules not
using remote control or to set module defaults,
•Placing the 2040RDA-FR-R or 2040RDA-16FR-R rear module in a frame
slot,
• Installing the fiber optic SFP submodule (optional),
• Placing the front media module in the corresponding front slot, and
•Cabling signal ports.
Front Module Onboard Jumper Settings
The 2040RDA-FR and 2040RDA-16FR modules have four onboard jumpers
that can be configured for determining the following functions:
• Jumper JP1 – sets control mode for Local only or Remote and Local.
•Jumper JP2 and JP3 – set the input format for the module and/or optic
output enables.
• Jumper JP4 – sets module for bypass or reclocking function.
Factory Defaults
The local settings made on J2, J3, and J4 are the defaults for the module.
Changing any local jumper setting while the module is powered up or
removed and plugged back into the frame will immediately reset the
module to the current local jumper settings. This will also occur when
removing or installing an optic submodule.
Selecting the
Recall Fact. Defaults
button on the Recall Factory Defaults web
page (page 34) will return the module to these local settings.
Remote Control Jumper
When the jumper is placed across pins 1 and 2 of jumper block JP1, module
settings are changed from the on-board jumpers only; remote control is
locked out. To have both Local and Remote access, set the jumper across
pins 2 and 3.

Input/Output Select Jumpers
Set jumpers JP2 and JP3 to 0 (pins 2-3) or 1 (pins 1-2) to select the
input/output type and/or optic output enable according to the silkscreen
on the front module shown in Figure 2.
These jumper settings can be overridden by remote control. When this con-
dition occurs, the front edge yellow REM OVR LED will light (refer to
Table 1 on page 21).
Note The DRL Dual Receiver function is not used at this time.
Figure 2. 2040RDA-FR and 2040RDA-16FR Front Module Silkscreen
Auto/Bypass Jumper
In Local mode, the module will operate in Auto or Bypass mode.
When set to
Auto
mode, the module will automatically reclock the incoming
signal to 143 Mb/s, 270 Mb/s, 360 Mb/s, 540 Mb/s, or 1.485 Gb/s rates
(ASI 270 signals). If the input signal cannot lock to one of these rates, the
reclocking will be bypassed automatically.
When set to
Bypass
mode, the reclocking will be bypassed completely.
Set jumper JP4 for auto-reclocking (AUTO pins 1-2) or to bypass reclocking
(BPSS pins 2-3). This jumper setting can be overridden by remote control.
When the module is in Bypass, the front edge LD LED will be off (refer to
Table 1 on page 21).

Installation
Module Placement in the 2000 Frame
There are twelve slot locations in both the front and rear of a Kameleon
3 RU frame to accommodate 2000 Series modules. The 2040RDA-FR and
2040RDA-16FR modules set consists of a front media module and a rear
module for the 2040RDA-FR or a dual height rear module for the
2040DRA-16FR that requires two module slots.
Each 2040RDA-FR or 2040RDA-16FR front media module plugs into the
front of the 2000 frame mid-plane. The rear module plugs into the corre-
sponding rear slot to provide the input and output interface connectors.
Stacked BNCs on the 2040RDA-16FR passive rear module require two rear
slots. The fiber optic SFP submodule option installs in the connector cage
on the top right of the rear module.
A 3 RU 2000T3 frame fully stuffed with 2040RDA-FR front and rear
modules will accommodate up to twelve module sets as shown in Figure 3.
A 1 RU 2000T1 frame will accommodate up to 4 module sets.

Cabling
All cabling to the 2040RDA-FR or 2040RDA-16FR module sets is done on
the corresponding Single Height 2040RDA-FR or Dual Height
2040RDA-16FR rear module at the back of the 2000 frame.
Cabling of the rear module depends on what SFP option is installed as fol-
lows:
•2040RDA-FR or 2040RDA-16FR with no SFP Optical submodule option
(electrical only) (page 17)
• 2040RDA-FR or 2040RDA-16FR with 1310NM-DTL (Dual Optical
Transmitter) option (page 19)
• 2040RDA-FR or 2040RDA-16FR with 1310NM-TRL (Optical Trans-
ceiver) option (page 20)
2040RDA-FR or 2040RDA-16FR with No SFP Option
The 2040RDA-FR or 2040RDA-16FR can input one electrical SD/HD/ASI
input with either eight or sixteen electrical outputs. On-board jumpers JP2
and JP3 on the circuit board have no effect and can be set for any configu-
ration. Refer to Figure 12 for an illustration of the input and output BNCs
for 2040RDA-FR or refer to Figure 13 for an illustration of the input and
output BNCs for 2040RDA-16FR.

provided on the 2040RDA-16FR rear module (Figure 13 on page 17).
The output signal can also be accessed from both optical outputs from the
SFP submodule, Optic 1 (left) and Optic 2 (right), shown in Figure 14. Set
on-board jumpers JP2 and JP3 to enable or disable one or both of the optical
outputs as described in Input/Output Select Jumpers on page 10. With the
submodule handle in the up position, connect optical cables to one or both
outputs.

Installation
2040RDA-FR or 2040RDA-16FR with Optical Transceiver
With the Optical Transceiver SFP option installed the module supports the
following modes:
• Electrical input to eight or sixteen electrical outputs and two optical
outputs, or
•Optical input to eight or sixteen electrical outputs and one optical
output.
Electrical or Optical Input
To use the electrical input, connect an SD, HD, or ASI video input to BNC
J10 on the 2040RDA-FR or BNC J17 on the 2040RDA-16FR as described in
Electrical Input on page 18. Set on-board jumper JP3 to the Coax input as
described in Input/Output Select Jumpers on page 10.
For an optical input, connect the fiber cable to the Optic 2 input (right), as
shown in Figure 15. Set on-board jumper JP3 to enable the optic input as
described in Input/Output Select Jumpers on page 10.
Electrical and Optical Outputs
The input signal is distributed to eight or sixteen electrical output BNCs.
Connect video output devices to outputs J1 and J3 through J9 provided on
the 2040RDA-FR rear module (Figure 12 on page 17) or J1 through J8 and
J9 through J16 provided on the 2040RDA-16FR rear module (Figure 13 on
page 17).
The output signal can also be accessed from the Optic 1 (left) connector
shown in Figure 15. Enable or disable this output with on-board jumper JP2
as described in Input/Output Select Jumpers on page 10. With the submodule
handle in the up position, connect an optical cable to this output.
