Question Transporting Video Signal Over Optical Fiber

[JohnMoore1000]

Hello Everyone,


I have stumbled upon an issue while doing an application. In this application there is an existing multimode fiber which is installed. We will be using Sony PXW-Z90 and QuestTel's optical extenders. My application exceeds a one kilometer distance which is not supported by multimode fiber. Since changing multimode to singlemode fiber is not an option, I would like to know if there is an option that exists that doesn't require me to change the existing infrastructure to boost the optical signal.


I am truly looking forward to a good response,
John

The QuestTel seem to be a single fiber solution. Do you actually have a pair of multimode fibers? BUT there are different quality multimode fiber.
Do you know if yours is 62.5micron or 50micron? Is the jacket orange or aqua ?
Do you have any idea about how much bandwidth you need on this link?

Thank you for detailed response. Currently, I only have multimode optical fiber 62.5micron in the infrastructure. The fiber cable has splices between points which causes optical light loss. My goal is to find out if we can install any optical amplifiers.

Thank you.

Yeah, 62.5 is going to be bad. That is the oldest and lowest bandwidth fiber.
