Racks and Enclosures
ViaLite is an analog and data fiber optic transmission platform for all types of installation. The sub-rack chassis designs deliver high levels of reliability through backplane connectivity and front-entry plug-in module installation. All ViaLite modules are hot swappable, avoiding the need to power-down the rack prior to swapping-out defective modules.
A Vialite Classic LRK2S 3U sub-rack accommodates up to 8 plug-in RF/data modules and 2 plug-in power supplies. A Vialite HD 3U sub rack can hold up to 13 RF dual channel cards (total up to 26 channels) plus an SNMP card and two power supplies. Hot swappable dual power supply capability provides full redundancy and maximum reliability to avoid traffic loss and service down-time in the event of a power failure.
For compact, discrete installations the 75004 1U 19” sub-rack option is also available. This accommodates up to three modules and has a single integrated power supply. For single modules installations the converter sleeve 75003 converts the standard plug-in module into a standalone unit, ideal for service distribution to a number of remote sites.
Outdoor Enclosures
The ViaLite suite of outdoor enclosures provides a cost-effective housing solution for use in environmentally harsh conditions. These units can be wall or pole mounted with a range of connectivity options. Power supply feed and fiber optic cable connections can be permanent for fixed installations or connectorised for rapid field deployment. To maximise reliability in critical systems, dual redundant hot-swappable power supplies can be fitted.
All the ViaLite ODE's are compatible with either ViaLiteHD or ViaLite Classic ranges.
The three-channel ODE-A is a very compact enclosure installed on roof-tops or at antenna hubs, where dual or redundant off-air native RF and serial digital services are transmitted over optical fiber from the receiving antenna to the remote equipment room.
The eight-channel ODE-B was designed to allow ViaLite fiber optic modules and customer specified peripheral equipment to be integrated within the enclosure, which can then be mounted on or near the antenna.
The largest ODE in the family is an enclosure that houses rack mounted equipment. The ODE-C can hold 4 racks of equipment. When used with ViaLiteHD this means 52 line cards can be accommodated or 104 channels when using the dual channel card.
