1 General
1.1 Introduction
The FEO-171p is a stand-alone electrical to optical solution for transmitting digital video (SDI,
270 Mbps) signals over a single mode fiber optic link. The FEO-171p can be used for short and
medium haul applications with distances up to 10km. The FEO-171p can be used in conjunction
with the FOE-171p picoLink Optical to Electrical Receivers. The fiber optic picoLink can be used
stand-alone or can be mounted in a special rack-mount tray that turns the picoLink fiber
converters into an electrical to/from optical patch field.
Cost effective, compact and lightweight

2 Overall View
Figure here under illustrates the FEO-171p. The 4:2:2 Video input is made via a BNC connector
and the optic output is made via a Single-mode 1310 nm SC/PC connector
A bicolor Led provides module status.
The power supply is connected to a mini-XLR type connector.

3 Installation
3.1 Warning
Note: Do not dismantle; the fiber optics are fragile and any pinch or fold may damage them.
Hazards for the Operator
Active Laser receptacles emit radiation invisible to the naked eye. Never look directly
into or through the inside of an active receptacle without having previously ensured
that it is not connected to the power supply.
Caution: Although not considered overly dangerous for the eye, avoid accidental
exposure to the optic beam emitted from the fiber optic connectors.
3.2 Power Supply
The power supplies LKS-WSA and LKS-WSE, for 110V and 220V operation respectively, are
used to power the FEO-171p.
Each power supply provides a regulated +5 VDC / 750 mA power source.
The FEO-171p employs a mini XLR-3 Mini QG type (Switchcraft) connector for its power needs.
Figure here under provides a detailed pinout of the male connector.

Pin 2: GND
Pin 3: +5 VDC

3.5 PL-Fiber tray Installation
PL-Fiber-tray is equipped to house up to 10 pico fiber with dual power supply for redundancy.
Figure 4 : PL-Fiber-tray front view
1. Insert pico fiber in the corresponding housing, with SC/PC fiber connector to the front.
Attention Status Led is located at the rear of the pico (BNC side)
Caution: Although not considered overly dangerous for the eye, avoid accidental
exposure to the optic beam emitted from the fiber optic connectors.
2. The clip of the SC/PC connector is used to fasten the pico module
3. Connect the power cord on the 3 pins power socket

4.1 Status LED
The multi-color status LED, located next to the video BNC input connector, indicates the status
of the module.
Green: FEO-171p is powered and has detected a
valid video signal
Red: Overload or signal absence on input.
