Description The 3GSDI-ASFP-** is an optical transceiver module engineered for exceptional performance in the presence of SDI pathological patterns. The transceiver features best-in-class optical receiver sensitivity for SMPTE 259M, SMPTE 344M, SMPTE 292M and SMPTE 424M serial rates, thus providing superior optical link budget and robustness. The 3GSDI-ASFP-** contains a PIN photodiode receiver and a 1310nm Fabry-Perot laser transmitter designed to provide error-free transmission of signals from 50Mbps to 3Gbps over single mode fiber (9/125). It is also hot-pluggable. The 3GSDI-ASFP-** provides extensive operational status monitoring through an I2C interface. Input optical power is monitored in the receiver; output optical power and bias current are monitored in the transmitter. Other operating conditions, such as power supply and operating temperature, are also monitored. If a monitored parameter falls outside the pre-defined range, an alarm flag associated with the parameter will be raised.
