The FieldCast 3G SFP optical module C9802 is a singlemode transceiver designed for signal transmission via optical fiber. It operates at a wavelength of 1310 nm, uses an LC connector, and is compatible with broadcast devices (e.g., Blackmagic Studio Camera, ATEM converters). Thanks to singlemode technology, it enables reliable long-distance transmission with high image quality and low attenuation.
| Criterion | Singlemode (e.g., FieldCast C9802) | Multimode |
|---|---|---|
| Wavelength | Typically 1310 nm or 1550 nm | Typically 850 nm or 1310 nm |
| Range | Very long – tens to hundreds ofkilometers | Short – up to 500 m to several km |
| Fibercore diameter | ~9 μm | ~50–62.5 μm |
| Transmission capacity | Stable, high speed over long distances | Suitable for shorter distances, less expensive |
| Application | Telecommunications, broadcasting, data centers, professional video | Local areanetworks (LAN), short connections within buildings |
| Fiberprice | Higher, but effective for long distances | Lower, suitable for short distances |
| FieldCast C9802 | ✅ Singlemode, LC connector, 1310 nm | ❌ Not multimode |
