Model MSC-FC8WB-8
8 Channel 3G-SDI CWDM Fiber to BNC Converter (8 CWDM modules included)


Matrix Switch Corporation SDI CWDM fiber optic converters provide compact, flexible, and low cost solutions for transmitting multiple coax SDI signals over a single fiber. Utilizing different wavelengths these products can transmit up to 16 channels of 3G-SDI up to 20km.
The MSC-FC8WB-8 converter provides one 8 channel CWDM fiber optic input and 8 BNC outputs, for receiving 8 SDI signals over a single fiber. This product includes 8 MSC-SFPRX-W factory installed CWDM receiver modules.
Also see the MSC-XF88WBS-8 for a more advanced product offering CWDM fiber optic to BNC SDI conversion with a combined 8x8 router.
