| Optical fiber interconnection between transmitter and receiver |
| Number/type |
1 singlemode or 1 multimode fiber optic input and output per FOX board |
| NOTE |
Only one fiber is required to transmit video, audio, and unidirectional data. A second fiber is required to return data for bidirectional control and communication. |
|
| Connectors |
2 bidirectional LC connectors per FOX board |
| Operating distance |
|
| Singlemode |
30 km (18.75 miles) with singlemode (SM) cables with a SM board |
| Multimode |
