AJA OG-FiDO-2R-12G openGear 2-Channel Single-Mode LC Fiber to 12G-SDI Receiver

AJA OG-FiDO-2R-12G openGear 2-Channel Single-Mode LC Fiber to 12G-SDI Receiver is an openGear-compatible dual-channel single-mode fiber to 12G-SDI receiver built for recovering high-bandwidth SDI signals after long fiber runs. Each fiber input is fully independent, allowing different 12G-SDI data rates per channel while supporting transport distances up to 10 km (32,808 ft) over standard single-mode fiber.

Highlights

• 2x independent single-mode LC fiber inputs to 2x 12G-SDI BNC outputs
• Format-agnostic operation from 270 Mbps to 12 Gbps
• Up to 10 km SDI recovery over single-mode fiber
• Automatic detection and reclocking at common SDI rates
• HDR and SDI metadata pass-through supported

Quick Specs & Uses

• Fiber inputs: 2x single-mode LC (SMPTE-297)
• SDI outputs: 2x 12G-SDI BNC (SMPTE-259/292/424/2081/2082)
• Reclocked rates: 270 Mbps through 11.880 Gbps (Auto Select)
• Optics: Rx 1260–1620 nm; sensitivity −9 dBm (12G)
• Power: openGear frame compatible, 3.0 W max per card

Why It Helps

OG-FiDO-2R-12G is designed for the receive end of modern 12G-SDI fiber links. It converts two independent fiber feeds back to baseband SDI, reclocks common SDI rates to stabilize downstream equipment, and provides clear lock indicators so engineers can confirm signal health quickly in a dense rack.

Key Technical Notes

• Independent channels: each fiber input supports its own SDI rate
• Reclocking behavior: listed rates reclocked; others passed through
• Status indicators: Input Present and Input SMPTE Lock LEDs
• Monitoring: openGear Dashboard on Windows, macOS, or Linux
• Serviceability: hot-swappable; rear I/O and SFP included

Frame & Facility Fit

• Compatible frames: OG-X-FR, OG-3-FR, and DFR-8321
• Form factor: openGear front card with rear I/O
• Slots required: two per card
• Weight: 0.5 lb (0.3 kg)
• Operating environment: 0–40 C, 10–90% RH, altitude <3,000 m
