XMUX/OMUXSFP-3G | Multiplexer
The XMUX card is an automatic 4:1 bre
optic switch, i.e. the active output is
switched to the common input as soon
as a remote station is connected. Swit-
ching is automatic and prioritized. If an
additional device is connected while the
connection is active, the switchover is
not performed until the existing connec-
tion is interrupted. A jumper can be used
to set up a manual switchover. In this
operating mode, the active port is selec-
ted via a control signal routed externally
to the card. Together with an XRI card,
this allows integration with NEXUS Logic
Control, making a wide range of control
options available.
The XMUX card also allows operation as
a 1:4 distributor. This type of use can be
useful for MADI connections, for exam-
ple. To avoid switching control signals
from several receivers to the transmitter
in such scenarios, the return channel
is switched off in this conguration.
The XMUX card can also be used as an
optical bre format converter (SM/MM,
wavelength) because it can be exibly
equipped with SFP modules. The module
is also available as 19“ device. All ports
support data rates of up to 3 Gbps.
Conguration option between automa-
tic and manual switching
With preset automatic switchover, the
next active port is switched within one
microsecond if one line fails. Prioritizing
the ports destination 1-4 are queried
one behind the other until a valid signal
is detected. A destination can be set
manually with a jumper.
Exchangeable standard SFP modues
The ports of the XMUX card can be
equipped with interchangeable SFP ber
optic modules to meet different appli-
cations. The modules can be included
in the delivery or tted by the user.
Multimodemodemodules are used as
standard, which allow a transmission
with a range of 500m. Alternatively, sing-
le-modem modules with a range of up to
100Km can also be used.
House cabling with several connection
positions for one basic device
It often happens that you want to use
digital interfaces at dierent locations wit-
hout the eort of rewiring. For example,
if you want to move microphone inputs
from one side to the other as the stage
structures change. With the XMUX board
this is easy! Several ber optic lines are
routed from the stationary NEXUS base
unit to the locations in question and the
mobile base unit is connected to them,
the multiplexer card automatically recog-
nizes the line used.
With the XMUX board, a exible connection structure of the ber optic cables can be set up with which one can
react to recurring changes.
