ASFOM Bus Transmission System
The KBC ASFOM range allows optical bus systems to be configured simply and easily. Utilizing CWDM (Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexer) technology, up to 16 optical wavelengths can be combined in a single fibre to create an add/drop bus arrangement. Each transmitter module must have a corresponding receiver module. In effect, the system is 16 individual point-to-point links integrated via the CWDM. As with all ASFOM products, the system provides a path for analog video, data, analog audio, contact closure, telephone and Ethernet signals. All signals are digitized providing excellent quality and guaranteed performance throughout the system. Video is offered with either 8 or 10 bit digital resolution without compression, providing real-time video images across the network.
Each wavelength provides an electrical bandwidth that can be filled with different signal types depending on the system requirement. The number and type of signal required to be combined at a location will dictate the number of wavelengths used. If return signals are required at the same location, another wavelength or wavelengths would be required to carry the signals. As an example, if the requirement is for 12 video signals, 2 duplex data signals, and a LAN connection at 4 locations, to be sent back to a control room, the design would be as follows: The 12 video signals with the forward data and Ethernet paths would take up 2 wavelengths and the return data and Ethernet would use a 3rd wavelength. In total, this system would use 12 wavelengths (3 from each of the 4 locations) and would therefore be configured on one fibre. Depending on system requirements, units are available in wall-mount, 1U or 2U 19” rack or 4U chassis card for integration within the FR4 chassis.
