MD-003 3RU

32 channel video and data transport solution over point-to-point fiber, CWDM/DWDM with robust FEC and fiber path protection switching

Description

The MD-003 3RU™ frame provides a complete multi-channel, multi-service transport solution. This compact unit integrates video/data to fiber transmitters and receivers, in-band network management, CWDM or DWDM multiplexing and fiber protection switching into a single frame system. The use of internal, modular plug-in fiber connectors eliminates multiple frames, external fiber patch cords and patch panels and provides an extremely robust solution. The frame is available in a wide variety of configurations with or without fiber multiplexing and protection switching and includes 4, 8, 16 or 32 wavelength channels.

The 3RU frame is designed for MD-003™ series transport modules and offers tremendous scalability by providing 16 slots for high quality, HD-SDI, SD-SDI, DVB-ASI, and SDTI video signals, OC-3/STM-1 telecom signals, and Ethernet data signals over point-to-point fiber optic links.

Supports unique passive rear panel modules that provide the specific connectors necessary by the mating electronic module. Hot swappable redundant power supplies are available as well as a frame controller for remote in-band management, SNMP, web browser interface and individual alarm contacts.
