16-Channel Unbalanced RCA Audio
Over a Single ST Fiber Extender Kit

SES-FA16UB Fiber Extender Kit

The SES‐FA16UB fiber extender kit sends 16 channels of unbalanced
audio over a single fiber cable. The system consists of a transmier
and receiver which send line level audio over long distances via
mulmode or singlemode opcal fiber. This extender transmits a
broadcast quality audio signal up to 984 feet on mulmode fiber and up to
12.4 miles on singlemode fiber. LED indicators monitor operang status and
ST bayonet connectors provide a secure connecon to
ensure connuous signal transmission.
Includes
 1 Transmier
 1 Receiver
 2 Power supplies, 5VDC/2A
Features
 Phoenix‐style connectors* for screw terminal hard wiring
 24‐Bit digitally encoded audio
 Mulmode fiber transmission up to 984 feet without aenuaon
 Singlemode fiber transmission up to 12.4 miles without aenuaon
 Support point‐to‐point or daisy‐chain connecon
*Note: Connectors can be unplugged without removing wires from
screw terminals

SES-FA16UB Set Up Instructions
1. Secure the units in a safe locaon, where they will not be subject to im‐
pact and where there is room around the unit so nothing will interfere
with the fiber opc cabling causing it to bend sharply in a ght radius in
any way that can severely affect the signal transfer.
2. Carefully connect your source(s) to the transmier input(s) and the re‐
ceiver unit output(s) to your receiving device input(s) using the RCA con‐
nectors on the transmier and on the receiver unit,
3. Please note that all audio on the transmier (Tx) and receiver (Rx) must
be line level.
4. CLEAN* the ST fiber opcal cable contacts that will be used for con‐
necng the Tx and Rx units and aach the fiber cable to the
ST connecons and secure, as you would secure a bayonet BNC. While
pressing lightly in on the connector, twist it in a clockwise direcon about
1/8 to 1/4 of a turn and then release. The connector should stay inserted
and have backwards spring pressure holding the bayonet in place.
5. Connect the included power supplies to the transmier & receiver units,
and plug them both into an AC power source (100v‐240v AC 50/60Hz).
* CLEAN: All fiber opcal cable contacts (the end that is inserted and makes
contact to enable lightwave transmission through the fiber)
require cleaning each me before inserng into a device’s outputs or inputs.
Failure to clean the contacts can damage the unit’s opcs over me and also
render the cable and the device permanently useless.
Use cleaning kits designed specifically for fiber opcs. Other cleaners may add
contaminants not seen by the naked eye which could damage cables and/or
equipment.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this
equipment to high humidity and/or dust. Do not use in an unpro‐
tected outdoor installaon nor any area classified as overly damp
or wet.
2. The temperature for installaon should be kept between 32°F to
140°F (0°C to 60°C). Avoid direct sunlight exposure or extreme
changes of temperature over a short period of me.
3. Do not disassemble the unit or place it on an unstable base.
4. Do not drop the unit and avoid heavy impact.
5. This unit should not be permanently installed unless proper ven‐
laon is provided. Any enclosure openings must not be blocked or
covered as they protect the unit from overheang.
6. Before cleaning, turn offthe power and unplug the unit from all
connecons. Use a damp cloth. Do not use liquid or
aerosol cleaners.
7. Do not overload outlets and extension cords as this may
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
8. Enclosure entry is dangerous. Never push objects of any kind, in‐
cluding liquids, into this unit through openings as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short‐out parts that could result in a
fire or electric shock.
9. Do not aempt to open or service this unit yourself as
opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage
and other hazards.
10. There are no user‐serviceable parts inside the unit. If the unit re‐
quires service contact your authorized dealer, or an
authorized repair service company.
