4-Channel Video over Fiber Kit

The PLANET VF-402-KIT bundles a transmitter and receiver to extend four analog video signals and RS-485 data over a single fiber link. It targets installers upgrading existing surveillance systems where coaxial cable distance limits have been reached. The kit transmits uncompressed digital video in real time up to 20 km without manual adjustment.

5 Hz to 6.5 MHz Video Bandwidth

The single specification that determines suitability is the video bandwidth of 5 Hz to 6.5 MHz, which matches standard analog camera signals. Each channel uses a BNC connector with a 75 ohm unbalanced interface and 1.0 Vpp typical peak-peak voltage. If the source cameras exceed this bandwidth, the kit will not pass the full signal.

Fiber Link with RS-485 Return Path

The transmitter and receiver connect via one fiber strand, freeing the installer from running multiple coaxial cables over long distances. A reverse RS-485 async-data channel is included for pan-tilt-zoom control or telemetry. Status LEDs indicate power, optical link and video presence on each unit. The kit requires a compatible fiber infrastructure and power for both endpoints.

Questions about this item

What does 4-channel bi-directional video mean for my camera setup?

The kit sends four independent video streams in each direction over a single fiber link, so four cameras and their return signals share one cable.

How does the RS-485 data channel work alongside the video?

One reverse RS-485 async-data channel rides the same fiber, letting you control PTZ cameras or send telemetry without extra wiring.

What connectors and impedance do I need on the video side?

Each channel uses a BNC connector with a 75 ohm unbalanced interface at 1.0 Vpp typical peak-peak voltage.
