FiDO 3G Series SDI/Optical Fiber Mini-Converters v1.2 4 www.aja.com
Chapter 1 – Introduction
Overview
FiDO SDI/Optical Fiber Mini-Converters allow the transport of 3G-SDI over
distances of up to 10km (Single-Mode), 700M (OM4) and 300M (OM3) for Multi-
Mode fiber optic cable. The compact, low profile enclosure is perfect for use in
tight spaces such as equipment racks, trucks and crowded facilities. Choose from
LC, ST, or SC connectors, depending on the converter model, for unmatched
flexibility and cost efficiency.
FiDO Mini-Converters meet all relevant SMPTE specifications as well as offering
electrical isolation to eliminate potential ground loop problems for a rugged,
versatile solution that is suitable for a variety of applications.
