Transducers

The use of shared resources within the chassis allows for configuration flexibility, improving the overall cost effectiveness of the OmniStar system. Based on application requirements, the OmniStar system will accommodate power supply options and any variation of laser transmitters, receivers, or a series of other modules available in the near future.

The OmniStar design incorporates a printed circuit board back-plane providing easy plug-in interface to a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) bus. The SPI bus distributes power and control signals to eight universal module slots within the unit. Additionally, there are two slots dedicated for AC or DC powering options (120/240 Vac or -48 Vdc) and another slot in the chassis is dedicated to the unit's microprocessor controller or Control Module (CM). A separate rear panel houses the AC or DC input power connection, and remote connector interface.

OmniStar, the next generation of Cableoptics headend products, is a fiber optic analog signal transmission platform that supports advanced Broadband Hybrid Fiber/Coax Telecommunications Systems. It is the prefect solution for modern broadband network systems where increasingly smaller node sizes and the deployment of point-to-point lasers require optimal headend or central office space. As a compact rack-mount optical platform it is ideal for complete two-way broadband transmission and also for applications which use rack-mount transmission equipment in a Distribution Hub or OTN.
