Pelco FT8301A Product Overview

C1680M (1/06) 7

Product Overview

The FT8301A miniature fiber transmitter provides the ability to transmit one composite video channel

over one optical fiber. The FT8301A transmitter is compatible with the single-channel FR8301A and

dual-channel FR8302A receivers. In addition, the FT8301A transmitter is backward compatible with

the single-channel FR8301 receiver.

Specially designed for use in Pelco® EH2515/EH3512/EH3515 Series camera enclosures and DF5/DF8

Series fixed mount domes, the FT8301A transmitter can also be used as a standalone module (refer

to Figure1).

Features of the FT8301A transmitter include the following:

•8-bit digitally encoded video for high-quality video transmission over a single fiber

•Multimode fiber support for distances up to 6 km (3.7 mi)

•Single-mode fiber support for distances up to 46 km (28.6 mi)

•Exceeds all requirements for the RS-250C Medium-Haul Transmission specification

•Compatible with NTSC, PAL, and SECAM video standards

•Designed to meet NEMA TS 2 and Caltrans traffic signal control equipment standards for

ambient operating temperature, mechanical shock and vibration, humidity with condensation,

high-line/low-line voltage conditions, and transient voltage protection

NOTE: Conformal coating is required for operation in environments with relative humidity

above 95% (condensing).

•No performance adjustments required

•12 VDC or 24 VAC power supply

•LED indicators for monitoring of signal status and laser status

The FT8301A transmitter is a Class 1 laser product that complies with FDA radiation performance

standard 21CFR Subchapter J and with IEC 60825-1 Edition 1.2, 2001-08.

The FT8301A transmitter consists of the following series of models:

Multimode Models:*

FT8301AMST Single-channel fiber optic video transmitter; multimode, ST connector;

transmission distance up to 2 km

FT8301AMSTE Single-channel fiber optic video transmitter; multimode, ST connector;

transmission distance up to 6 km (extended distance)
