The Cobalt® 9410DA-EO 3G/HD/SD-SDI / ASI / MADI Fiber EO Transport/Distribution Amplifier with Full-Flexibility Crosspoint provides a card-based solution for high-density conversion from coax to fiber, as well as coaxial distribution. The 9410DA-EO is multi-rate, and supports SDI and ASI/DVB on all inputs and outputs with non-inverting outputs.
An SFP-based EO converter provides state-of-the-art fiber performance, power consumption, and compactness. A crosspoint (which is user-configurable via DashBoard™ GUI remote control) allows the card to apply any of the card inputs to various coax DA outputs as well as a fiber output. Up to 9 flexibly-sourced coaxial DA outputs are available per each card.
Using a high-density low-power design along with a high-density split rear module, up to 20 cards can be installed in a frame, providing 20 channels of EO conversion as well as up to 180 coaxial DA outputs. Excellent receive performance allows coaxial receive EQ for up to 110m 3G, 180m HD, and 360m SD cable length (1694A). Full user DashBoard™ or Remote Control Panel remote control allows full status and control access locally or across a standard Ethernet network.

Some Rear I/O Modules shown below may also be used for other Cobalt card models. This allows you to re-use rear modules from one card model to another. The Manufacturing Part Number (MPN) shown in the images below is the common code that is used to identify multi-use rear modules. Cross-compatibility can be checked using this number and About Cobalt Rear I/O Modules and Rear Module Cross-Reference at Reference and Help Documents.

Note: The rear module(s) below have been available in two manufacturing versions (with corresponding MPN numbers) — MPN: [earlier-discontinued] / [latest-current].
New cards with SN: 450452R or greater use rear modules with the second MPN listed (which is the current rear module version). Earlier-version and latest-version rear modules and cards are mutually incompatible. The Manufacturing Part Number (MPN) shown in the images below is screened on the rear module PCB.
