Patton Fiberplex VIM-1032-E-02 32x8 Fiberoptic Transport Tail End (Multimode)
Key Features
  • 32 Analog and AES Digital Outputs
  • Designed for Optical Split Applications
  • Operates at 48 or 96 kHz Sample Rates
  • Multimode Fiber Runs up to 1.25 Miles
The Patton Fiberplex VIM-1032-E-02 is a high-performance fiberoptic transport multimode tail end designed for Series 32 systems requiring a clean optical split for large-scale distributed audio networks. Functionally similar to the VIM-1832 but without audio inputs or an internal clock, the VIM-1032 serves as an output-only node within the LightViper digital audio system.

Patton Fiberplex VIM-1032 Overview

The Patton Fiberplex VIM-1032-E-02 is a high-performance fiberoptic transport multimode tail end designed for Series 32 systems requiring a clean optical split for large-scale distributed audio networks. Functionally similar to the VIM-1832 but without audio inputs or an internal clock, the VIM-1032 serves as an output-only node within the LightViper digital audio system.

Delivering thirty-two analog line-level outputs and thirty-two AES digital outputs simultaneously, the VIM-1032 provides exceptional flexibility for feeding amplifiers, powered speakers, recording rigs, or broadcast systems. Operating at 48 or 96 kHz sample rates, it automatically locks to the master clock of a connected VIM-1832 or VIM-MY32M YGDAI card for precise synchronization across the network.

High-Capacity Fiberoptic Distribution
This version of the VIM-1032 supports multimode fiber operation, achieving run lengths up to 1.25 miles. Its LC receive connector provides robust optical input, while the LC thru connector passes the signal losslessly to additional devices—ideal for creating complex distributed systems or redundant signal paths.
Clock and Synchronization
Clocking for the VIM-1032 is fully managed by the system master (typically a VIM-1832 or VIM-MY32M). The unit automatically matches the 48 or 96 kHz sample rate of the master device. Front and rear sync LEDs indicate system status at a glance: solid green for lock, flashing red/green while searching, and solid red when no sync is present.
Data and Control Integration
A TTL data port on an EtherCon connector enables communication with LightViper accessories such as the DMX4o (DMX lighting control) and MD3 (RS-422/232/MIDI). Control data is multiplexed with the audio signal at the system's head end, transmitted via fiber, and then decoded at the VIM-1032's output-streamlining audio, lighting, and control over a single optical connection.
Reliable and Flexible Operation
The VIM-1032 operates on 90 to 250 VAC at 50/60 Hz through a standard IEC connector, ensuring universal compatibility. Its rugged construction and broadcast-grade design make it suitable for touring, fixed installation, or broadcast use in demanding environments.
