A Multifunctional and Affordable Fiber Optic Multiplexer
Are you concerned with space, functionality, flexibility, reliability or cost? Probably, your answer is “all of the above.” These were SeaView’s concerns that drove us to develop a fiber optic multiplexer that would perform all the tasks our customers needed, within in a single card.
Highly Functional
Our card supports three channels of standard video, 100mb Ethernet, and eight serial channels in various combinations and two high speed trigger pulses.
Simple to Use
This device is simple to integrate. It has baud-rate tolerant circuitry eliminating the need to set up confusing DIP switches. By setting simple jumpers, two serial channels will internally convert between RS-485 on bottom to RS-232 on the surface (or vice versa) eliminating the need for inline converters on the surface, a perennial source of trouble.
Flexible
Want to run HD-SDI or Gigabit Ethernet as well as standard video and serial data? No problem. We have the flexibility to configure our boards to work in with external off-the-shelf transceivers performing these specialized tasks. Let SeaView set you up with a comprehensive system supporting everything you need, all in one compact package, running on one single mode fiber.
Reliable
Our cards use all surface mount technology. Each unit is thoroughly tested in an extreme environmental and vibration test enclosure.

The SVS-109L is a local (surface) card that receives video. The SVS-109R is the remote (subsea) card that transmits video. The SVS-109(x) uses Molex KK® 6471 series headers. Wires need to be crimped to the Molex connectors (supplied).
