Optical Communications Mainframe with redundant power supplies

About the Product

The OCMR with redundant power supply capability is the second generation Optical Communications Mainframe Chassis which forms the backbone of the this product range.

The OCMR chassis is fully backward compatible with PBN’s complete range of optical, RF and data modules to suit CATV, Ethernet, FTTC, FTTH, HFC and telecommunication applications.

The new design employs the same form factor as its predecessor, the OCMC, still 5 RU high, 19” rack mountable, but now with 10 slots for high-density applications and full power redundancy.

Comprehensive control and monitoring of the OCM is included in the chassis itself, with a 4-line LCD and keypad to navigate through any of the modules’ various monitoring and control features.

As a crucial element in any small or large city optical network, the OCMR is designed with fully modular and hot-swappable active parts which allow for continual system operation, providing uninterrupted services to the end subscriber.

The OCMR can be optioned with an integrated SNMP agent and Ethernet port. This makes it possible to monitor and control an OCMR chassis through an IP network with PBN’s NMS3-NetCraft software or an SNMP manager.

Features

• 5 RU high, 19" wide, 10-slot chassis for PBN designed plug-in modules.
• Can be equipped with dual, hot-swappable power supplies for redundant power applications.
• Large LCD panel for easy setup of modules and system monitoring.
• IEC297 compatible 19" rack.
• Space below modules for optical fibre patch-cords and RF cable access.
• Mountable at ½ RU intervals allowing maximum use of rack space in communications cabinets.
• Horizontal, fan-forced airflow permits the mounting of multiple OCMR without the need for rack space clearance between chassis.
• Local monitoring of system and modules via USB port.
• Remote monitoring via optional integrated SNMP agent and web server (HTTP) through 10Base-T Ethernet port for system wide, NMS3 network management.
• Hot-swappable front panel display and micro-controller assembly.
