The Dymec substation-hardened OS5HRT and OS9HRT Optical Stars provide network designers with a convenient "hub and spoke" topology capability. Optical Stars are available with either five or nine ports, with multi-mode and/or single-mode optics providing a full optical budget on each port. To further provide flexibility the Master port (port one) can be configured with an RS232 copper interface. The Optical Star can in addition support Master/Slave or Peer-to-Peer mode and be cascaded by simply connecting a port from one Optical Star to a port of the next (in Master/Slave mode it must be a slave port connected to the next master).
DYMEC Optical Stars are ideal for Master/Slave polling applications such as multiple meters, relays and other statistical devices as well as broadcasting IRIG-B to multiple devices where fiber offers extended range and isolation from interference. Optical Stars also allow you to take one or more devices out of service while all others continue to operate.
Flexibility - Two varieties for serial networks: Dymec 5 and 9 port fiber optic serial stars enable networking of multiple serial devices.
Hardened - Packaged in rugged, industrial quality Galva Neal and powder coated shells.Operate in temperatures ranging from -40° C to 85°C.
Minimizes Downtime - Optical Stars also allow you to take one or more devices out of service while all others continue to operate. This is invaluable in most applications.
Ideal for Polling Applications - Applications include multiple meters, relays and other statistical devices as well as broadcasting IRIG-B to multiple devices where fiber offers extended range and isolation from interference.
