IQFDA31 Introduction
Issue 1 Rev 1 Page 4 © 2016 SAM
1 Introduction
1.1 Description
The IQFDA31 provides dual HD-SDI 3 Gbit/s, 1.5 Gbit/s, or 270 Mbit/s SD-SDI inputs with
both SDI and fiber optic outputs in a single-width package. Flexible routing of inputs and
outputs allows the module to operate as a single- or dual-channel mixing fiber and copper I/O.
Input signal loss detection enables switching from a main feed to a back-up feed
automatically, providing emergency changeover functionality. Its 80m 3G, 170m HD, and
300m SD input equalization performance and non re-clocking distribution of wide-band
signals make it ideal for all distribution applications.

1.3 Feature Summary
The IQFDA31 provides the following features:
• Dual-channel intelligent 3 Gbit/s SDI, HD-SDI, and SD-SDI re-clocking distribution
amplifier.
• Flexible selection of inputs allows single- or dual-channel operation.
• Input signal monitoring allows auto-changeover emergency switching.
• Provides distribution for DVB-ASI and other wide-band signals.
• Equalizes up to 80 m at 3 Gbit/s, 170 m at 1.5 Gbit/s and 300 m at 270 Mbit/s when
using Belden 1694A cable.

• RollCall monitoring allows all signal paths to be managed.
1.4 Order Codes
The following product order codes are covered by this manual:
The following SFP modules are available for this product:
1.5 Rear Panel View
Note:
Modules with “A” order codes (for example, IQFDA3100-1A3) can only be fitted into A-style
enclosures. Modules with “B” order codes (for example, IQFDA3100-1B3) can be fitted into
either A- or B-style enclosures. See page 6.

1.6 Enclosures
The module can be fitted into the enclosure types shown.
1.6.1 B-style Enclosure
Enclosure order codes: IQH3B-S-0, IQH3B-S-P
1.6.2 A-style Enclosures
Enclosure order code: IQH1A-S-P
Enclosure order codes: IQH3A-S-0, IQH3A-S-P
Enclosure order codes: IQH3A-E-0, IQH3A-E-P, IQH3A-0-0, IQH3A-0-P
Enclosure order code: IQH1A-S-P
Important:
Although IQ modules are interchangeable between enclosures, their rear panels are
enclosure specific. An IQH3B enclosure accepts modules with either “A” or “B” order
codes. An IQH3A or IQH1A enclosure accepts modules with “A” order codes only. See
page 5.
Note:
The IQH3B enclosure provides two internal analog reference inputs. These inputs are
applicable to modules with “B” order codes only.
