OCMR - Optical Communications Mainframe Chassis – Generation II
The OCMR with redundant power supply capability is the second
generation Optical Communications Mainframe Chassis which forms the
backbone of the Light Link® Series 3 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 patchcords 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.
