PESA’s Quadbox TX modules are copper to fiber conversion modules that provide increased port density and total routing system cost savings. The Quadbox modules support up to four ASI/SDI, HD-SDI or 3G-SDI signals utilizing a 2.97Gb/s optical transport per fiber port. Using two SFP duplex small form factor pluggable modules, these units offer broadcast quality coax to fiber transmission paths in a single throw-down box or can be setup in groups of four in a 1RU frame setup. The Quadbox is compliant with SMPTE 259M, 292M, 372M, and 424M ensuring highly flexible and reliable media conversion for any application.
Each QFX Quadbox module allows high definition video with or without embedded audio and data, as well as DVI-ASI. And because the Quadbox Series is based on a fiber transport, you can be assured that each signal is immune to video pathological signals over the entire length of the fiber interconnect. Either singlemode or multimode cabling is supported. When using singlemode, the Quadbox can support distances up to 10Km and up to 600m with Multimode using industry compliant LC connectors.
The Quadbox fiber system is the lowest total cost solution for converting copper-based signals to fiber-based transmission paths and works exceptionally well with all PESA HD router systems. Each Quadbox comes with a built-in Ethernet port and USB port for easy setup and diagnostics. Up to four QFX modules can be loaded in a 1RU frame with support for redundant power. Setup is simple with the supplied GUI interface.
