GENERAL INFORMATION

The Pure Digital Fiberlink 8100 Series is a twelve output optical

distribution amplifier (O.D.A.) designed to work with one-way Pure

Digital Fiberlink transmission systems. The 8100 Series O.D.A. receives

an optical signal from a Pure Digital Fiberlink transmitter and then digi-

tally regenerates and relaunches it over two to twelve outputs. Each

output may transmit to a Pure Digital Fiberlink receiver unit or to an-

other O.D.A. unit. Cascading O.D.A.s together allows for the creation

of elaborate point-to-multipoint distribution networks.

The 8100 Series transmits any signal or signal combinations sup-

ported by one-way Pure Digital Fiberlink systems*. Outputs on the 8100

series are configured in pairs, each with separately specified fiber type,

connector type and transmission wavelength. The input is also config-

ured independantly. Wavelength compatibility varies depending on

which system is being used with the 8100 Series. Refer to the charts

beginning on page 5 of this manual for details.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS

The Pure Digital Fiberlink 8100 Series has been manufactured using

the latest semiconductor devices and techniques that electronic tech-

nology has to offer. Your unit has been designed for long, reliable and

trouble-free service and is not normally field repairable. Should diffi-

culty be encountered, Communications Specialties maintains a com-

plete service facility to render accurate, timely and reliable service of

all products.

The only maintenance that can be provided by the user is to ascertain

that the optical connectors are free of dust or dirt that could interfere

with light transmission and that electrical connections are secure and

accurate.

All other questions or comments should be directed to our Customer

Service Department. It should be noted that many “problems” can eas-

ily be solved by a simple phone call.

Physical size .................................. 16.75W x 1.75H x 14D (inches)

426W x 44H x 356D (mm)

Loss Budgets and Maximum Transmission Distance

The following charts show loss budgets and maximum transmission

distances for all units compatible with the 8100 Series. Products not

included on the input and/or output chart do not function with the 8100

O.D.A.. Note that some systems operating at the highest wavelength

are compatible with the 8100’s input but not with its output.

For loss budgets resulting from the cascading of two or more O.D.As

together, refer to the chart beginning on page 8.

CAUTION! Some versions of the Pure Digital Fiberlink 8100 Series O.D.A. contain a

solid state Laser Diode located within the optical connector. This device emits

invisibleinfraredelectromagneticradiationwhichcanbe harmfulto humaneyes.The

radiation from this optical connector, if viewed at close range without a fiber optic

cable connected to the optical connector, may be of sufficient intensity to cause

instantaneousdamagetothe retina of theeye.Direct viewing of thisradiationshould

be avoided at all times.

Troubleshooting

Multimode fiber optic cable contains an optical fiber with a light

carrying “core” that is only .0025 inches (62.5 microns) in diameter.

Single mode fiber optic cable has an even smaller “core,” only .00032

to .0004 inches (8-10 microns). This is smaller than a human hair! As a

result, any minute particles of dirt or dust can easily block the fiber

from accepting or radiating light. To prevent this from happening, al-

ways use the dust caps provided with all optical connectors whenever

they are exposed to air. Also, it is a good idea to gently clean the tip of

an optical connector with a lint-free cloth moistened with alcohol when-

ever dust is suspected.

The status of any of the indicator LEDs should provide the first clue

as to the origin of any operation failure. If, on the O.D.A., the SIGNAL

and LOCK LEDs are off, it usually means that the fiber is broken or has

too much attenuation.

Refer to the troubleshooting section of the manuals that came with

your transmitter and receiver units for additional tips specific to that

particular system

If, after reviewing the above possibilities, the system is still not oper-

ating, please contact the Customer Service Department for further as-

sistance.

Note that lit SIGNAL and LOCK LEDs are a necessary but not suffi-

cient condition to guarantee that the system is operating properly. You

must also check the status of the transmitter and receiver units to make

sure that they are operating properly.

Also, note that the 8100 Series Optical D.A.has a built-in safety mecha-

nism that shuts down the unit’s outputs if the unit fails to lock on the

incoming optical signal.

OPERATING POINTERS AND TROUBLESHOOTING

Optical Fiber

As discussed earlier, the 8100 Series Optical D.A. is custom config-

ured to work with the user’s specific transmission needs. It is impera-

tive that the correct size fiber and wavelength are being used for each

transmitter and receiver unit connected to the O.D.A.

In addition, be certain that the attenuation and bandwidth of the fiber

optic cable being used is within the range of the system’s loss budget

specifications. Refer to the tables beginning on page 5 to find the loss

budget for your particular system configuration. Note that the 8100

Series O.D.A. is not compatible with all wavelengths for all systems.

Some system transmitters may make the O.D.A. input saturate if rela-

tively short runs of cable are used, causing the O.D.A to fail to acquire

lock. If pulling the fiber optic cable out slightly at the system transmit-

ter output makes the O.D.A. lock, install one of the two ring attenuators

included with the O.D.A. If the system uses multimode fiber between

the system transmitter and the O.D.A., install the gold ring attenuator

on the fiber connector at the system transmitter output. If the system

uses single mode fiber, install the blue ring attenuator at the system

transmitter output.

the O.D.A. The numbered outputs on the unit correspond, in order, to

the “w”s in the part number. If you ordered one output to transmit at

850 nm, MM (“J”) and another at 1310 MM (“L”), it is important that

you distinguish between the two and connect each to the correct, corre-

sponding receiver unit.

Similarly, if you ordered more than one O.D.A. with differing input

specifications, make sure you are connecting the right unit to the trans-

mitter.

The following instructions describe the typical installation procedure

and function of the LED indicators.

Procedure

1. Connect the fiber optic cable from the transmitter unit to the 8100

Series O.D.A. input.

2) Connect the fiber optic cables from the 8100 Series O.D.A. outputs

to the corresponding receiver units or to the input of another O.D.A..

3) Apply power to the O.D.A.. The green POWER LED should light,

indicating the presence of operating power.

4) Connect the video and/or audio inputs and outputs to the transmitter

and receivers being used with the O.D.A. Refer to the manuals pro-

vided with these units for more specific connection instructions.

5) Apply power to the transmitter and receiver units.

6) The SIGNAL LED on the 8100 Series O.D.A. should light, indicat-

ing presence of an incoming optical signal. The LOCK LED should

also light, indicating that the O.D.A. has successfully locked onto the

data rate of the optical signal.

gets are the same in both cases.) When more than two O.D.A. units are

cascaded together, loss budgets and distances should be derated 10%

for each additional O.D.A.
