The BBG-2EO-12G Dual Coax-To-Fiber throw-down converter unit is a new part of the Blue Box group of compact, rugged, and portable converter boxes. Super-easy to use, Blue Box Dual Coax-To-Fiber supports SMPTE ST2082, ST2081, 424M, 292M, and 259M as well as ASI and MADI audio on two independent coax-to-fiber paths. Auto-mode EQ/reclocking automatically sets to the signal type being received while allowing unrecognized formats to be safely passed without reclocking (auto-reclock can also be manually disabled for either path as desired). Its wide operating range (from 5Mbps to 12Gbps) flexibly supports most professional digital serial communications. Fully error-free pathological pattern operation is fully compatible with other professional fiber video interfaces. SFP-based EO converters provide state-of-the-art fiber performance, power consumption, and compactness.
BBG-2EO-12G receives its operating power via a USB connection or using an AC adapter connection. These power sources can be simultaneously used to provide redundant power sourcing.
Key Features
