SMPTE 297M-2000

This standard defines an optical fiber system for transmitting bit-serial digital signals. It is specifically intended for transmitting ANSI/SMPTE 259M serial signals (143 through 360 Mb/s). Its optical interface specifications and end-to-end system performance parameters are otherwise compatible with ANSI/SMPTE 292M, which covers transmission rates of 1.3 through 1.5 Gb/s.
