SDI-EO-2 /SDI-EO-2-RC Rev. 2
1Product overview
The Flashlink SDI-EO-2 /SDI-EO-2-RC is an electrical to optical converter
module providing high performance media conversion for various signal
formats from 19.4Mbps up to 540Mbps. Unmatched signal accuracy, even in
critical applications with pathological signal patterns makes the SDI-EO-2 /
SDI-EO-2-RC the first choice for all optical transport demands.
There are two versions of this product, SDI-EO-2 and SDI-EO-2-RC. SDI-EO-2-
RC has reclockers for each channel and cross point functionality. SDI-EO-2
comes without the reclockers and the cross point switch.
The SDI-EO-2 / SDI-EO-2-RC can transport all SD signal formats in addition to
DVB-ASI and SMPTE 310. It performs optical refreshing. High quality optical
transmitters using Fabry-Perot lasers are suitable short and medium haul
applications. The open system platform of Network Electronics Flashlink
system allows easy interoperability with third party fibre optical systems.
The SDI-EO-2 / SDI-EO-2-RC unit has also one electrical output for each
channel, which reduces the need for additional DAs. The electrical input is
equipped with a multi rate cable equaliser providing an equalisation of
typically 300m of high quality coax cable at 270Mbps.
Figure 1: SDI-EO-2-RC Dual SDI E/O converter. Please note that 2x2 cross point switch and
reclockers are not implemented in SDI-EO-2.

4Connector module
The SDI-EO-2 / SDI-EO-2-RC has a dedicated connector module: HD-EO-2-C1.
This module is mounted at the rear of the frame. The module is shown in the
figure below.
Figure 3: Connector module for SDI-EO-2.
In typical use, a SDI-EO-2(-RC) / SDI-OE-2(-RC) module at each end will be
used. Two channels can simultaneously be converted from optical to electrical
channels. The electrical input signal is connected to the INx input on the
transmitting SDI-EO-2(-RC), and the electrical output is connected to the
corresponding OUTx+ or OUTx- output BNC on the receiving SDI-OE-2(-RC).
The fibre cable is connected to the corresponding optical port (OPT1 uses
IN1/OUT1- and OUT1+ and OPT2 uses IN2/OUT2- and OUT2+).
4.1 Mounting the connector module
The details of how the connector module is mounted, is found in the user
manual for the Flashlink frame FR-2RU-10-2.
This manual is also available from our web site:
http://www.network-electronics.com/.

5Module status
The status of the module can be monitored in three ways.
1. GYDA-SC System Controller (optional)
2. GPI at the rear of the frame
3. LEDs at the front of the frame
Of these three, the GPI and the LEDs are mounted on the module itself,
whereas the GYDA-SC System Controller is a separate module giving detailed
information on the card status. The functions of the GPI and the LEDs are
described in sections 5.1 and 5.2. The GYDA-SC System Controller is
described in a separate user manual.
5.1 GPI Alarm – Module status outputs
These outputs can be used for wiring up alarms for third party control
systems. The GPI outputs are open collector outputs, sinking to ground when
an alarm is triggered. The GPI connector is shown in figure below.

5.2 Front panel – Status monitoring
The status of the module can be easily monitored visually by the LEDs at the
front of the module. The LEDs are visible through the front panel as shown in
the figure below.
Figure 5: Front panel indicators for the SDI-EO-2.
The SDI-EO-2 has four LEDs each showing a status corresponding to the GPI
pinning.

6Laser safety precautions
A guideline to limit hazards from laser exposure follows:
All the available EO units in the Flashlink range include a laser.
Therefore, please read the note on laser safety thoroughly.
The lasers emit light wavelength greater than 1270 nm. This means that the
human eye cannot see the beam, and the blink reflex cannot protect the eye.
(The human eye can see light between 400 nm to 700 nm).
A laser beam can be harmful to the human eye (depending on laser power
and exposure time), therefore:
Instruments exist to verify light output power: Power meters, IR-cards etc.
Flashlink features:
All the laser module cards in the Flashlink product range, are Class 1 laser
products according to IEC 825-1 1993, and class I according to 21 CFR
1040.10 when used in normal operation.
Please look at the user manual for more details regarding the FR-2RU-10-
2 frame.
Maximum output power1: 5 mW.
Operating wavelengths: > 1270 nm.
Note!
BE CAREFUL WHEN CONNECTING / DISCONNECTING FIBRE
PIGTAILS (ENDS).
NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE PIGTAIL OF THE
LASER/FIBRE.
NEVER USE MICROSCOPES, MAGNIFYING GLASSES OR EYE
LOUPES TO LOOK INTO A FIBRE END.
USE LASER SAFETY GOGGLES BLOCKING LIGHT AT
1310 nm AND AT 1550 nm.
< 5mW
>1270nm

Materials declaration
For product sold into China after 1st March 2007, we comply with the “Administrative
Measure on the Control of Pollution by Electronic Information Products”. In the first
stage of this legislation, content of six hazardous materials has to be declared. The table
below shows the required information.

O: Indicates that this toxic or hazardous substance contained in all of the homogeneous materials for
this part is below the limit requirement in SJ/T11363-2006.
X: Indicates that this toxic or hazardous substance contained in at least one of the homogeneous
materials used for this part is above the limit requirement in SJ/T11363-2006.
Environmentally-friendly use period
The manual must include a statement of the “environmentally friendly use period”.
This is defined as the period of normal use before any hazardous material is released to
the environment. The guidance on how the EFUP is to be calculated is not finalised at
the time of writing. See
http://www.aeanet.org/GovernmentAffairs/qfLeOpAaZXaMxqGjSFbEidSdPNtpT.pdf
for an unofficial translation of the draft guidance. For our own products, Network
Electronics has chosen to use the 50 year figure recommended in this draft regulation.
Network Electronics suggests the following statement on An “Environmentally Friendly
Use Period” (EFUP) setting out normal use:
EFUP is the time the product can be used in normal service life without leaking the hazardous materials.
We expect the normal use environment to be in an equipment room at controlled temperature range
(0ºC - 40ºC) with moderate humidity (< 90%, non-condensing) and clean air, not subject to vibration or
shock.
Further, a statement on any hazardous material content, for instance, for a product that
uses some tin/lead solders:
Where a product contains potentially hazardous materials, this is indicated on the product by the
appropriate symbol containing the EFUP. The hazardous material content is limited to lead (Pb) in some
solders. This is extremely stable in normal use and the EFUP is taken as 50 years, by comparison with the
EFUP given for Digital Exchange/Switching Platform in equipment in Appendix A of “General Rule of
Environment-Friendly Use Period of Electronic Information Products”. This is indicated by the product
marking:
50
17

SDI-EO-2 /SDI-EO-2-RC Rev. 2
It is assumed that while the product is in normal use, any batteries associated with real-time clocks or
battery-backed RAM will be replaced at the regular intervals.
The EFUP relates only to the environmental impact of the product in normal use, it does not imply
that the product will continue to be supported for 50 years.
Recycling information
Network Electronics provides assistance to customers and recyclers through our web
site http://www.network-electronics.com. Please contact Network Electronics’
Customer Support for assistance with recycling if this site does not show the
information you require.
Where it is not possible to return the product to Network Electronics or its agents for
recycling, the following general information may be of assistance:
Before attempting disassembly, ensure the product is completely disconnected from
power and signal connections.
All major parts are marked or labelled to show their material content.
Depending on the date of manufacture, this product may contain lead in solder.
Some circuit boards may contain battery-backed memory devices.
