Duplex to Bidirectional (BiDi) Optical Converter
CT-OPC
Image
- Convert any duplex optic to single fibre transmission
- Passive operation, no power required
- Protocol transparent
- Connect to active and passive optical interfaces
- No data rate limitation
Overview
The OPC range provide a quick and simple means to convert 'standard' duplex fibre interfaces into a bidirectional single fibre interface.
Duplex fibre interfaces utilise 2 cores of fibre. One dedicated for the transmit direction the other for the receive. The OPC range combines these 2 directions and allows them to reside on a single core of fibre, This efficiency means valuable fibre can be freed up or only half as much fibre needs to be installed.
The OPC range are completely passive requiring no power. They are transparent to speed and protocol and can be used with virtually any singlemode optic. The OPC range provide a simple flexible means to free up valuable fibre infrastructure enabling any organisation to make efficient use of their cabling systems.
