High-Density Multi-Channel Optical Distribution

The Evertz 7705DS-4 and 7705DS-8 passive optical splitters deliver reliable 1-to-4 and 1-to-8 optical signal distribution within Evertz modular card frames. Engineered for broadcast facilities, OB trucks, venue distribution hubs, and post-production facilities, these modules allow a single optical source to be simultaneously routed to multiple destinations without active signal conversion or electrical power requirements.

Universal Protocol and Format Compatibility

Because the 7705DS-4 and 7705DS-8 are completely passive optical devices, they operate without data rate or format restrictions. Operating across the full single-mode wideband spectrum (1260nm to 1610nm), these splitters transparently handle uncompressed 12G/3G/HD/SD-SDI video, CWDM multi-wavelength streams, digital audio, and IP Ethernet data over standard 9µm single-mode fiber infrastructure.

Flexible Slot Configurations & Hot-Swappable Serviceability

Designed for seamless integration into existing Evertz frame infrastructure:

• 7705DS-4: Occupies a single slot, making it ideal for compact high-density installations.
• 7705DS-8: Occupies two card slots to deliver 1-to-8 signal splitting.

Both models feature front-access hot-swappability, allowing broadcast engineers to reconfigure optical topology on the fly without interrupting surrounding active transmission lines or disconnecting rear fiber assemblies.
