- No special signal coding requirements
- Immunity to electrical interference
- Monitoring and Control (M&C) compatible
- 5-year warranty as standard
For 10/100 Ethernet, please see the M&C modules.
Product Inquiry
Benefits
- Available in standard wavelengths, as well as CWDM and DWDM for integration into existing networks or long-haul applications
- GbE link works just like a piece of copper cable
Applications
This link is used in a wide variety of applications:
- Industrial control and monitoring
- Satellite communications monitoring and control (M&C)
- SCADA and data communications links
- Military tactical networks
- Time server and clock signal distribution
- Cellular and TETRA base station software upload and system control.
The ViaLite Ethernet link is available in several formats:
– Single rack chassis card / Dual rack chassis card (Rx/Rx, Tx/Tx or Tx/Rx)
A fully populated 19” 3U ViaLiteHD rack chassis supports up to 26 links and accepts 13 RF cards, plus a Monitoring & Control Module and dual power supply modules. A 1U chassis accepts three RF cards or two RF cards with a Monitoring & Control Module.
– Blue OEM Link
The ViaLite standalone Blue OEM Link offers a compact, single link solution.
– Yellow OEM Link
The Yellow OEM Link has been designed for system integrators and equipment manufacturers to build the link into their own designs.
A range of support modules and accessories is also available, including indoor rack chassis units and weatherproof outdoor enclosures.
