AVID 9900-71260-00 SFP Optical Module

Multi-Mode SFP Optical Module for Pro Tools MTRX Systems
The AVID 9900-71260-00 is a multi-mode SFP optical module designed specifically for use with Pro Tools | MTRX systems, offering a low-output 1300 nm LED for short-distance, high-quality digital audio transmission. This module provides essential MADI connectivity over fiber for engineers working in professional studios, live sound environments, or post-production facilities. It installs directly into MTRX hardware and enables fiber-optic MADI routing via LC connections, making it a powerful tool for expanding your digital audio workflow with efficiency and accuracy.

Optimized for Short-Range Fiber Audio Transmission
This multi-mode optical module is ideal for setups that require dependable signal delivery over shorter distances, typically within a building or across nearby rooms in a production facility. By operating at 1300 nm with an LED transmitter, it ensures reliable performance without overdriving nearby optical receivers—perfect for controlled fiber environments such as studio control rooms, OB vans, or tightly integrated digital audio networks.

Low Output LED Design Reduces Signal Overload Risk
Unlike higher-output laser modules, this unit uses a low-power LED for data transmission. That’s important in short-range applications where signal reflections and saturation can degrade audio integrity. The controlled optical output ensures signal consistency, minimizes jitter, and preserves the full fidelity of MADI audio streams between MTRX systems and external fiber-based gear.

Fits Directly into Pro Tools MTRX SFP Ports
Installation is plug-and-play. This AVID SFP module slides directly into any available SFP slot on the Pro Tools | MTRX interface. Once connected, it enables immediate LC-based MADI I/O over multi-mode fiber. Whether you’re linking to fiber-based MADI routers, consoles, or converters, this module expands your system’s flexibility without requiring any additional configuration or drivers.

Ideal for High-Density Studio and Live Audio Setups
For engineers building dense MADI infrastructures, this optical module offers a clean, compact solution for running digital audio over fiber. It’s perfectly suited for patching within a rack room, between console bays, or across studio spaces where copper cables can’t reach or aren’t practical. Use it to route audio over LC-terminated multimode fiber while maintaining low noise and high bandwidth.

Built for AVID’s Modular Pro Tools MTRX Interface
As part of the MTRX modular ecosystem, this module integrates seamlessly into the Pro Tools | MTRX platform, which can be customized with up to eight analog or digital I/O option cards. With this optical module, users can tap into MADI workflows and create hybrid digital systems that pair with AD, DA, or AES I/O cards—making the MTRX system one of the most versatile and expandable interfaces for Pro Tools | HD environments.
