The OH-RX-8-LC high sensitivity fiber receiver is available as an integrated (pre-assembled) or plug-in option for select LYNX Technik yellobrik and Series 5000 products. This module facilitates the conversion of the SDI optical signal into an electrical signal for further processing within these products. Support is provided for all wavelengths between 1260 and 1620nm according to ITU-T G694.2 (18 wavelengths). High sensitivity provides a much wider operational headroom than the standard OH-RX-1-LC receiver for long haul applications. The module accommodates 270Mbit / 1.485Gbit and 2.97Gbit SDI signals conforming to SMPTE 424M, 292M, 259M and DVB-ASI.

Supported Lynx Technik products feature a build-in SFP socket (“cage”) for easy installation or upgrades. SFPs are hot-swappable to provide maximum workflow flexibility.
