Video Transmission: Making The Link

The X-Net® Philosophy

6

COE’s X-Net fibre modules are fitted with Small Form-fac-tor Pluggable (SFP) optical laser ports. SFP optics have a number of key benefits over traditional laser optics. These include:

• Signal transmission over twice the distance of traditional fibre lasers, extending potential transmission range from a single light source to over 180km!

• Replaceable in seconds. SFP opticscan be interchanged in seconds, eliminating downtime from faulty lasers and reducing the requirement for costly spares holding at site.

• CWDM capabilities. These highly tuned devicesmay utilise coarse wave division multiplexing

(CWDM). This development allows the user to increase video channel count to as many as 144 channels from each module over a

single optical fibre.

• Future-proofing. Optical fibre will be a medium of choice for video transmission

over long distances, high channel counts and high security networks for years to come. X-Net fibre modules, you will receive the latest technology in this field, ensuring compliance with future developments in fibre optics.

Advanced Optical Technology

The X-Net range includes modules with capabilities to transmit and receive video over both optical fibre and Ethernet. These products include the

X-Net Ethernet Switch and the X-Net OPT-LAN series of products. Equipment such as this is well suited for applications in hybrid network

environments and these products have been implemented in some of the world’s most prolific CCTV networks.

Hybrid Networking Capabilities

Reliability Through DesignTo ensure that networks remain resilient regardless of acts of sabotage, path loss or individual/multiple device failure,

the X-Net range has been developed with a number of integrated features which safe-proof against network downtime. These include dual power supply options, universal network status management products, full redundancy proofing,

SFP optical ports and more!

available in the market with a range of innovative features and product enhancements.

Digital Fibre Transmission

By creating a flexible range of single and multi-channel products, scalable, cost-effective solutions can be engineered for projects of any size.

X-Net Network Management System (NMS)X-Net NMS reduces maintenance time and expense by eliminating the need to travel to manually inspect remotely based X-Net

fibre products. Comprehensive web based diagnostics of the X-Net Rack and its various modules may be obtained simply by entering the IP address of the NMS module into a web browser. X-Net NMS also provides SNMP extensions for use in third

party alarm management systems.

Single Fibre, Multi-Site Configuration

CWDM Optical Wavelength Range

Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing (CWDM) enables simultaneous transmission of up to 144 channels of video across a single optical fibre.

Every product in the X-Net range is capable of CWDM transmission, permitting high density, diverse routing and drop & insert fibre transmission topologies. This technology vastly increases potential channel count

capacity across networks with limited fibre infrastructure.

Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing

X-Net CWDM may be used in large networks with multiple surveillance sites to transmit video from many remote sites back to a single or

multiple control areas.

In the example shown, multiple X-Net modules are connected via fibre optic interconnects to an X-Net CWDM module, eliminating the

requirement for costly and time consuming fibre splicing.

Using this method, up to 18 separate X-Net modules (each configured to use different laser wavelengths),

may be combined to provide high density transmission of video, plus optional audio, data and Ethernet over

a single optical fibre.
