The Blue Box BBG-2OE-MK2 Dual Fiber-To-Coax 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 Fiber-To-Coax supports SMPTE 424M, 292M, and 259M as well as ASI and MADI audio on two independent fiber-to-coax 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 3Gbps) flexibly supports most professional digital serial communications. Fully error-free pathological pattern operation is fully compatible with other professional fiber video interfaces. SFP-based OE converters provide state-of-the-art fiber performance, power consumption, and compactness.
BBG-2OE-MK2 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
Dual independent fiber-to-coax paths – all in one easy to use throw-down box
Full support of 5Mbps thru 3Gbps transport conversions, with seamless auto-mode reclocking. No switches to set for different payloads.
Available with ST, LC, or FC fiber termination. (BBG-2OE-MK2-ST, BBG-2OE-MK2-LC, BBG-2OE-MK2-FC)
Dual-channel input lock status indicators. Optical Rx power meter fields allow optical Rx confidence assessment.
Error-free pathological support. Full compatibility with other BlueBox™ Coax/Fiber units and Cobalt 9400-series openGear® frame-installed fiber cards.
Compatible with SMPTE 424M, 292M, 259M, 310M, M2S, DVB-ASI, and MADI audio
Compact size and low weight design easily affixes directly to camera or host device chassis. Optional BBG-MB mounting bracket provides rigid, secure mounting to mounting surfaces.
USB remote control/status in addition to device indicator and switches
SFP-based OE converters provide state-of-the-art fiber performance, power consumption, and compactness
Powers directly from host equipment USB or standard corded power adapter. USB power and corded adapter can be simultaneously used to provide redundant power sourcing.
