1.0 Introduction
The Focal Model 914-X Series Modular Multiplexer System is a compact and rugged video, data and Ethernet
multiplexer and fiber optic transmission system designed for industrial environments and other applications
requiring the transmission of HD video, serial data and Ethernet over an optical link. The 914-X Series has been
optimized for low power operation and delivery of low latency, uncompressed video and Ethernet data.
A series of expansion cards are available, allowing additional composite video channels, serial data channels,
Ethernet ports, as well as many specialty signals such as TTL, hydrophone, CAN bus and custom sonars to be
added to any 914-X Series system without requiring extra fibers or wavelengths.
The rich feature set and vast signal options are packaged in an incredibly small form factor. The credit card size,
along with the geometry and location of the connectors allow the 914-X Series multiplexers to be installed in very
small enclosures. Multiple card systems can be configured either as stacks, or via flexible high speed ribbon cable
providing even further installation flexibility.
This manual provides 914-X Series system users with detailed information relevant to the design,
configuration, installation, and operation of the 914-X Series system. This manual and the appropriate
reference documents should be reviewed prior to installation or configuration of the multiplexer system.
The figures below show different configurations and stacking options of the 914-X series. On the left, the 914-HDE
motherboard is shown stand-alone. On the right, the 914-HDE and expansion cards (914-EX, VDX and AX-232)
are shown stacked together and held into place via standoffs. At the bottom, a similar stack is shown but with a
high-speed ribbon cable to accommodate applications such as bottles or low profile enclosures.

The following safety precautions should be observed before using this product.
This product is intended for use by qualified personnel who recognize shock hazards and
are familiar with safety precautions required to avoid possible injury. Do not make module
connections unless qualified to do so.
Before connecting this product to the power source, verify that the output voltage is within
the specifications of the product’s power supply.
Do not attempt to modify or repair any circuit unless recommended by the manufacturer.
Protect the power cable from being walked on or pinched by items placed or against them.
Always unplug the power cable at the plug, do not pull on the cord itself.
Do not block any ventilation openings.
Do not look into the end of a fiber when it is plugged into a transceiver or active fiber,
especially when using a magnifying instrument, such as a fiber microscope.
Handle optical fiber with extreme care. Glass fiber is subject to breakage if mishandled.

3.0 System Overview
3.1 914-X Series System Card Options
Users can combine the modular 914-X Series cards into complex fiber optic telemetry systems.
914-X Series cards are sorted into 4 basic categories:
1. Motherboards: Have optical transceivers and multiplex various different data types into a single data
stream over fiber. This is the foundation to any multiplexing system, they provide expansion channels for
expansion card integration.
a. Card(s): 914-HDE.
2. Expansion Cards: Add more signal interfaces to the motherboard. They draw power from the
motherboard and do not require their own optical transceiver. They do not operate on their own. They
require one or more low speed (LS) or medium speed (MS) expansion channels on a motherboard to
operate.
a. Card(s): 914-VDX, 914-EX, 914-DX and 914-AX.
3. Media Converters: Convert a single data type to fiber, usually in a 1:1 signal to optical wavelength
conversion. Can operate stand-alone, or can be optically combined with other multiplexers or media
converters.
a. Card(s): 914-HDV2.
4. Optical Cards: Combine multiple optical wavelengths onto a single fiber, or create optical
redundancies for increased system reliability.
a. Cards: 914-CWDM, 914-CWDM-4, 914-CWDM-8, 914-SWITCH, 914-FOS

3.2 Defining a 914-X Series System
914-X Series systems are used as pairs (one remote and one console) to provide a transparent video, data and
Ethernet link over optical fiber(s). The installed optical transceivers determine the maximum optical link speed, fiber
type, number of fibers (1 or 2), and link distance. The card version sets the operational bandwidth, which is
independent from the optical data rate. The optical link uses a proprietary data protocol ensuring reliable
transmission with extremely low latency using highly efficient and dynamic bandwidth utilization.
Typically, the uplink (remote to console) and downlink (console to remote) are combined on a single fiber –
multimode or singlemode (standard) –with a passive optical coupler known as a Wavelength Division Multiplexer
(WDM). The WDM is integrated in the optical transceiver. Standard, single fiber systems operate with 1310 nm
uplink and 1550 nm downlink wavelengths. In larger systems, multiple 914-X Series stacks may be combined on a
single fiber using a Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexer (CWDM) to take advantage of the high bandwidth of
optical fiber.
Figure 3-1 illustrates an example of a simple 914-X Series system configuration using a standard, standalone 914-
HDE motherboard, which supports the multiplexing of one (1) 3G/HD/SD-SDI channels, two (2) bidirectional RS-
232 / RS-485 / RS-422 serial data channels and one (1) Gigabit Ethernet channel over a single optical fiber. This
is the base card of any 914-X Series system.
Figure 3-1: 914-HDE Motherboard
Note that the HD video source (e.g. from an HD camera) is connected at the remote end. The HD video output is
provided at the console end (e.g. to an HD monitor).

The external fiber optic system includes optical components such as optical connectors and a Fiber Optic Rotary
Joint (FORJ).
An expansion connector on the 914-HDE supports 8 expansion card ports: 4 low speed (LS) and 4 medium speed
(MS) ports. Expansion cards allow a full system to be built using the 914-HDE Motherboard as the base optical
card. Optional expansion cards are detailed in Section 6.0.
Figure 3-2: 914-X Series System with Expansion Cards
Figure 3-2 shows a 914-X Series system with both 914-VDX and 914-EX expansion cards added. These cards
stack on top of the 914-HDE motherboard providing more video, Ethernet and serial data channels. No extra optical
components are required for these additional expansion cards.
For larger systems requiring more optical bandwidth than a single 914-X Series stack can provide, Moog Focal has
a series of CWDM products that allow many optical data streams to be combined onto a single fiber. These cards
can handle the addition of 2, 4, 6, 8 or more systems onto a single fiber.
Figure 3-3 shows a simple 4 channel CWDM that would combine 4 optical wavelengths onto a single fiber.

3.3 System Specification
When specifying a 914-X Series system, it is important to ensure there is enough available optical bandwidth to
support the signals and data throughput required. Moog Focal has released three versions of the 914-HDE
motherboard with pricing linked to bandwidth. This allows customers who do not require expansion cards, 3G-SDI,
or gigabit Ethernet to specify a more cost effective solution. Moog Focal can work with customers to configure a
complete optical multiplexer solution, and the following section shows signal bandwidths and sample system
configurations. This allows customers to weigh the tradeoffs between system bandwidth, cost, size and power,
while also showing the upgrade potential of any 914-X Series system.

Using the above two tables as a reference, it becomes possible to specify a full system and ensure a lossless, low
latency optical link.
3.4 How to choose the optimal 914-X Series System Architecture
1. Calculate the bandwidth of the required signals based on Table 3-2.
2. Choose the 914-HDE motherboard version based on required bandwidth. Multiple 914-X Series systems
may be required for very high bandwidth applications. Refer to Table 3-3.
3. Consider using 914-HDV2 for systems requiring more than one HD video channel.
4. Choose 914 expansion card(s) with the required number and type of interfaces required.
5. Ensure the base bandwidths for the 914-HDE and any 914-VDX cards are included with the bandwidth
calculations.
6. Verify expansion channels available vs required, refer to Table 3-1.
7. Balance expansion cards between motherboards in very large systems.
