²In a normal operating environment, the maximum digital video application connection length using a Belden 1694A cable is 200 m (218 yd). If the chassis ambient operating temperature is above 45�C (113� F) and ports 0 and 1 are used for video applications with this SFP, the maximum cable connection length supported may be less than the specified 200 m (218 yd), depending on the operating environment.

³ DVB-ASI = Digital Video Broadcast Asynchronous Serial Interface.

SDI Jitter Performance

SDI video signal is compliant to the ANSI/SMPTE 259M-1997 standard. Table A-21 lists the SDI jitter performance values for the 8-port multi-service muxponder.

Table A-21 SDI Jitter Performance Values for the 8-Port Multi-Service Muxponder
Hp Filter	10 Hz	1 kHz	10 kHz	100 kHz
Jitter Generation (p-p)	0.5 UI¹	0.06 UI	0.06 UI	0.06 UI
UI / Time	1.85 ns	220 ps	220 ps	220 ps

¹Maximum jitter generation is below SMPTE 259 M specification of 0.2 UI (0.74 ns) with the exception of low-frequency timing jitter. However, a purely digital system will operate correctly with significant amounts of low-frequency jitter as also indicated in Annex B of SMPTE 259M of the Timing Jitter Specification.

If your configuration uses an on-board system clock for trunk multiplexing, the client OC-3 wander generation may exceed the GR-253 specification of less than 60 ns MTIE (maximum time interval error) on greater than 10-second intervals and 20 ns MTIE on less than 1-second intervals. Because the MTIE can reach 100 ns across all observation intervals with this configuration, we do not recommend using the OC-3 transport for deriving the network clock. Other applications operate normally. If needed, the trunk multiplex clock can be configured to use one of the client OC-3 receive clocks. In this configuration, the OC-3 wander generation is fully compliant to GR-253 specification.
