OMH100S (FIBERMESH OPTICAL ROUTER)

This system provides high performance communication and availability for automation of MV / LV feeders in power distribution networks.

With data transmission capacity of 100 Mbps, this equipment connects automation device(s) to the mesh communication network via IP or serial RS-232 connection. Its multiple (4) Ethernet and (2) serial data ports, which can be used together, meets the current and future demand for automation communication. Furthermore, two optical ports are provided with an optical by-pass. This feature ensures continuity of communication between adjacent optical routers, in case of local power failure, by switching the optical signal from the input port directly to the output port. It is also possible to opt for a GPS receiver that can be used in future network applications such as time base synchronization and georeferencing for network management systems. In addition, FiberMesh was developed to operate under severe conditions of temperature and can be installed, when technically feasible, inside the RTU boxe. When that is not the case, the equipment may be installed inside a IP65 polycarbonate boxe on the same pole or on another structure next to the automation device. Moreover, due to its low power consumption (<10 W), FiberMesh can be connected to the power source in the RTU, without compromising the battery backup time. Finally, the files with database information for SNMP management (MIB) and local configuration application of the optical router executable in MSWindows 7 or higher are available.
