Chapter 2 INTRODUCTION
2.1 P RODUCT O VERVIEW
PESA’s Cheetah 144NE Fiber Router System is a high performance, modular fiber optic switch
system for either ProAV or Broadcast HD-SDI and 3G-SDI applications, and fully supports
SMPTE 259M, 292M, 372M and 424M standards. The Cheetah 144NE Fiber is expandable in
sizes from 36X36 up to 144X144 in the same 4RU frame. It is fully compatible with the new QFX
Series of fiber media extenders for DVI, HD-SDI, and 3G-SDI. The frame supports redundant
power, control, and a hot-swappable 144X144 Crosspoint matrix. I/O cards allow easy expansion
in groups of 36 inputs or 36 outputs per card without the need to replace cards or frames.
The Cheetah 144NE Fiber is a modular design featuring four rear-panel slots for input buffer cards
and four slots for output combiner cards. Each input or output card supports up to 36 fiber optic
connections using standard LC-type fiber SFP modules. The I/O fiber cards are based on 1310nm
singlemode lasers but can be used in multimode applications with reduced performance
specifications. Singlemode fiber allows signal transports up to 10Km while multimode is limited to
approximately 400m with 50/125 cables.
With its small 4RU footprint, the Cheetah 144NE Fiber Router can be configured as a partially
loaded frame allowing for easy future field expansion. The system’s integrated Matrix Frame
Controller monitors the health of the unit and automatically recognizes any new I/O cards. Once
the cards are installed, the Cheetah 144NE Fiber Router can be easily configured with the
3500PRO or PERC 2000 System Controller software. The Cheetah 144NE Fiber Router can be
controlled from the PESA control system or by a third-party control system such as Crestron® or
AMX®.
2.1.1 Cheetah 144NE Standard Features
•Compact 4RU chassis
•Full feature control system using either standard PESA PRC Control or PESA Network
Control (3500Pro or PERC2000)
