Product Short Description
-
Purpose
Ultra-low-latency optical hub purpose-built for GE VMIC 5565 series reflective-memory networks. Provides deterministic data sharing across up to 256 nodes. -
Technical Specifications
-
Port count: 8 SFP slots (user-populated with 1–8 transceivers)
-
Fiber type: multimode ≤ 300 m or single-mode ≤ 10 km per transceiver
-
Data rate: 2.125 Gbaud per port, aggregate hub throughput 170 MB/s peak
-
Latency: < 1 µs port-to-port
-
MTBF: 100 000 h
Description
-
Management interfaces:
– RS-232 console for local diagnostics and firmware update
– 10/100 Mbit Ethernet for remote web or SNMP management -
Power: universal AC 100–250 V / 1 A internal supply; DC 24 V option on request
-
Dimensions: 241 mm × 194 mm × 152 mm (1U 19-inch rack-mount)
-
Operating range: 0 °C – 65 °C; storage –40 °C – 85 °C; 20 %–80 % RH
-
Functional Highlights
-
Automatic bypass: instantly isolates failed or unpowered nodes, keeping the ring intact
-
Signal regeneration: each port retimes and re-amplifies the optical signal, eliminating insertion-loss and jitter accumulation
-
Scalability: up to 32 hubs cascaded for 256 active nodes
-
Hot-pluggable SFPs: mix multimode and single-mode transceivers in the same chassis to optimise cost and reach
-
In-band and out-of-band diagnostics: LEDs per port + remote web/SNMP console
-
Application Scenarios
-
Industrial automation: synchronized motion control, robot coordination, PLC peer-to-peer links
-
Power generation: turbine control, protection relay data sharing, SCADA redundancy
-
Simulation & test: flight, marine and automotive HIL rigs demanding micro-second determinism
-
Transportation: rail interlocking, signalling networks, vehicle testbeds
-
Defence & aerospace: mission-critical real-time command and control networks
