GE Security 9908VMPD1-T-R | Fiber Optic Video/Data/Audio Link

The GE Security 9908VMPD1-T-R is a professional-grade fiber optic transmitter designed for the transmission of high-quality video, bi-directional data, and audio over a single optical fiber. Manufactured under the IFS (International Fiber Systems) brand, this unit is engineered for mission-critical security and surveillance applications where high signal integrity and resistance to interference are paramount. The “T” in the model name indicates the Transmitter unit, typically located at the camera end of the link.

Key Application Fields

  • PTZ Camera Control: Transmitting video from a PTZ camera while simultaneously sending control data (RS-485) back and forth.

  • Industrial Monitoring: Sending real-time video and audio alerts from remote manufacturing points back to a central control room.

  • Transportation Systems: Monitoring highways or railways where electrical noise from power lines makes copper cabling unreliable.

  • Correctional Facilities: High-security video and audio intercom links that are immune to EMI and localized lightning strikes.

  • Campus Security: Linking remote gate cameras to a centralized security desk over existing fiber infrastructure.

Product Usage Instructions

  1. Mounting: This is a “Rack” version (indicated by the “-R”). Slide the module into an IFS R3 Card Cage. Ensure the module is firmly seated and the thumb screws are tightened.

  2. Video Connection: Connect the analog camera output to the BNC connector on the module faceplate using 75-ohm coaxial cable.

  3. Data/Audio Wiring: Use the terminal block connectors to wire your PTZ control (Data) and Intercom (Audio). Ensure you follow the correct pinout for RS-422 or RS-485 configurations.

  4. Fiber Link: Remove the protective dust cap from the ST or SC fiber connector and attach your multi-mode fiber patch cord.

  5. Synchronization: Verify the “Link” LED. A steady green light indicates that the transmitter has established a solid optical handshake with the corresponding 9908VMPD1-R-R receiver.

Q&A: Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this unit with a single-mode fiber cable? A: No. The 9908VMPD1 is specifically tuned for the larger core of multi-mode fiber. For single-mode applications, you would need the 9908VSPD1 version.

Q: Does this module support digital IP cameras? A: No. This is an analog fiber link. It is designed for standard BNC analog video signals. To transmit IP camera data, you should look at the IFS D7600 series media converters.

Q: What happens if the video signal is lost but the fiber is okay? A: The module features “Video Presence” LEDs. If the fiber link is healthy but the video signal from the camera fails, the fiber link LED will stay green while the video LED will turn off or red.

Q: Is it compatible with Pelco-D PTZ protocols? A: Yes. The data channel is transparent, meaning it will pass any standard serial protocol, including Pelco-D, Pelco-P, and Bosch Bi-Phase.
