The Evertz 3405FRS is a miniature optical conversion platform. The 3505FRS can accommodate up to four of any Evertz 3405 series SFP, allowing the use of optical transmit, receive, regenerator or electrical distribution amplifier or changeover SFP's. With the ability to perform two optical/electrical conversions per SFP module, the 3405FRS can provide conversion for up to eight signals in total. Benefits of fiber optics for video transport include longer attainable distances, smaller/lighter cabling, reduced cable tray loads and electrical isolation. The 3405FRS provides an extremely compact, low-overhead means for simple electrical/optical conversion for interfacility transport, as well as overcoming the limitations imposed by coaxial cable in intra-facility applications.

3405 series SFP's are able to handle ASI, SDI, HD-SDI and 3G digital video signals, as well as other signal rates up to 3 Gig on non-reclocked versions (e.g. MADI). The SFP modules are hot-swappable, allowing for quick servicing or easy reconfiguration or expansion at any time.
