Radio Frequency Interference and Immunity
This unit generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy. If the unit is not properly installed and used in
accordance with this guide, it may cause interference with radio
communications. Operation with non-certified peripheral devices
is likely to result in interference with radio and television
reception. This equipment has been tested and complies with the
limits in accordance with the specifications in:
FCC Part 15, Subpart B
CE EN50081-1:1992
CE EN50082-1:1992

1 FOE-871p Fiber Optic to HD/SD Converter
1.1 Introduction
The FOE-871p is a compact stand-alone solution receiving
Standard Definition digital video (SMPTE 259M SDI 270 Mbps)
as well as High Definition signals (SMPTE 292M up to 1.5 Gbps)
through an SMPTE 297M fiber optic link. When combined with
the FEO-871p, the solution reaches distances up to 15 km
(depending on the optical link) on single mode fiber, allowing
transparent digital transmission for short haul applications. The
FOE-871p can be used stand-alone or can be mounted in a
special rack tray that allows the picoLink fiber converters to
become an optical-to-electrical patch field. The fiber picoLink
converters' flexible packaging makes them ideal for both
temporary and permanent, intra and inter-facility fiber optic links.

2 Overview
Figure 2 illustrates the FOE-871p's major parts and their
locations. The optical fiber input is connected using a single-
mode SC connector, and the HD/SD digital video output appears
on a BNC connector. Error status is provided by the status LED.
Finally, the power source is connected to the lockable power
connector.

3 Installation
3.1 Power Supply
The LKS-WSU power supply provides power to the FOE-871p
for 110 V and 220 V operation. The power supply is a regulated
+5 [email protected] A power source. The FOE-871p employs a mini
XLR-3 connector for its power needs. Figure 3 shows a detailed
pinout of the male connector.

3.2 Fiber Input
Connect an optical signal to the SC connector labeled FIBER IN.
Class 1 laser product
Hazards for the Operator
Active optic fibers emit radiation invisible to the naked eye.
Never look directly at the end of an active optic fiber.
Caution
Although not considered overly dangerous for the
eye, avoid accidental exposure to the optical beam
emitted from the fiber optic cable connected to the
FOE-871p input.
3.3 HD/SD Digital Video Output
A reclocked high-definition or standard-definition digital video
signal appears on the BNC labeled HD/SD SDI OUT.
•The high-definition serial digital output signal conforms to
the SMPTE 292M standard.
•The standard-definition serial digital output signal
conforms to the SMPTE 259M-ABCD standard or the
DVB-ASI (270 Mbps).

4 Operation
There are no operating controls on the FOE-871p.
4.1 Status LED
The bi-colored status LED, located next to the BNC output
connector, is provided to identify any input errors. The following
situations are flagged:
Off: No DC power
Green: Laser light detected with valid SDI / HD-SDI
signal
Red (steady): Laser light detected but no valid SDI / HD-SDI
signal
Red (blinking): No laser light detected
