SFC-6901
12G Universal Fiber Transport Solution
The SFC-6901 provides cost-effective fiber transport for SDI up to 12G.
The SFC-6901 provides cost-effective fiber transport for SDI up to 12G. In a single, highly flexible and configurable card, it provides the complete functionality needed to set up fiber links satisfying the needs of many scenarios.
The benefits of fiber optics for video transport include longer attainable distances, smaller/lighter cabling, reduced cable tray loads and electrical isolation.
One card, multiple applications
Get fiber connectivity for any scenario with the SFC-6901. Fiber transmit or receive directionality is defined by the installed SFPs. Provision the two SFP slots as needed to satisfy transmit, receive and optical regeneration applications. Any combination of transmit, receive or bi-directional SFPs may be used on the same card, making countless versatile combinations possible. An internal crosspoint connects the bi-directional HDBNC and optical ports allowing flexible port configurations including inputs, outputs, loop-outs and distribution.
Get more from your fiber infrastructure with cost-saving multiplexing. The ability to electrically multiplex up to 4 synchronous/homogenous HD/3G signals over a single fiber/wavelength using it’s integrated 2SI gearbox means you can conserve strands in fiber-limited environments and reduce costs when using leased fibers. Additionally, the SHC-6901 is based on the rock-solid openGear platform which offers redundant power supplies and hot-swappable, front-loading cards with a 5-year warranty. With Dashboard, centralized configuration and monitoring and alarming of critical parameters such as signal presence and optical power levels are handled with ease.
With 12G support and an internal gearbox, the SFC-6901 is always ahead of the curve and ready for a transition to UHD whether requirements dictate single-link, quad-link or both formats of 12G/UHD. The flexible optical/electrical port mapping and gearboxing can be reconfigured at any time to adapt to changing needs. With a total of four-onboard 12G fiber conversion paths, each SFC-6901 is also able to support transport of quad-link 8K SDI signals.

Support for SD to 12G SDI
- Single openGear card with definable functionality and directionality based on the SFPs installed: can be provisioned with any combination of dual transmit, dual receive or transceiver SFP’s
- With the ability to host two SFPs for a total for four 12G lanes, a single card can be used as TX or RX for one complete quad-link 8K signal
- Configurable any-to-any port-mapping between the four HDBNC connectors and the optical ports, with a maximum of four destinations assignable.Possible setups include one-to-one optical to/from electrical, electrical or optical distribution and electrical or optical loop-outs
- Onboard gearbox with multiple uses:
- Quad 2SI 3G <-> 12G conversion and fiber transport for UHD signals
- Fiber savings:Up to four synchronous HD/3G SDI signals of the same framerate and standard can be combined for transport as a 12G single link
- Pair with the companion SHC-8932-F to convert SDI to HDMI to feed monitors, display processors, etc.
- In gearbox mode, signal transport over fiber is uninterrupted by loss of any electrical input feed
- Transparently passes embedded AES and all ancillary data
- Hot swappable from the front of the frame without decabling any fiber or coax connections
- High-density openGear solution – up to 40 fiber conversion paths per OG3 or OGX frame

With the ability to select from various SFP transmitter and receiver options, as well as configure the mapping of inputs and outputs using the internal crosspoint, the SHC-6901 can be flexibly configured to suit the needs of many applications.
Point-to-Point Unidirectional
The SHC-6901 can be configured for simple, uni-directional signal transport for signals from SD to 12G over multiple fibers with four channels on each card.
Point-to-Point Bidirectional
A single card may be configured to support bi-directional fiber links over multiple fibers.
Point-to-MultiPoint with Electrical Distribution
Flexible port mapping facilitates multiple electrical and/or optical outputs. In this case, a single 12G SDI source is locally distributed on two loop-outs, and optically distributed to two destination over two fibers. Three electrical outputs are configured at each destination.
Point-to-Point Over Single Fiber
The onboard gearbox may be used to combine up to four synchronous HD signals of the same standard and frame rate over a single, fiber-conserving 12G link.
