Utility

Utility network managers rely on Omnitron Systems for a wide variety of their fiber and PoE network applications.

As illustrated above, Utility Providers and Smart Grid Networks use the iConverter CWDM multiplexers to cost-effectively distribute multiple data channels within a 10G fiber ring.  The iConverter 10G Switches provide a 1G dedicated fiber link to various AMI Collectors, Substations or Customers within their fiber network.

Omnitron’s RuggedNet Industrial PoE switches are compact and ideal for mounting on poles within a NEMA enclosure, and provide PoE power to AMI Collectors and IP Surveillance Cameras.  Supporting up to 100W PoE (802.3bt) per RJ-45 port, the RuggedNet switches are well-suited to be installed at Substations for power-hungry devices such as PTZ camera and WiFi access points.

The RuggedNet Industrial PoE Extenders are powered from a 30W or 60W PoE power source, and provide data and power to remote IIoT PoE devices located beyond the standard 100m limit of twisted pair copper cabling.

Utility companies can also easily deploy the iConverter 1-Module Industrial Power Chassis for flexible network installations. 

The iConverter 1-Module Industrial Power Chassis is a compact, versatile chassis featuring a single or dual DC terminal power connection supporting 12 to 36VDC or 20 to 60VDC providing flexible installation options.

Utilizing the combination of iConverter modules and the 1-Module Industrial chassis enables a full range of industrial network applications, such as access control, data acquisition and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) to be supported. This includes a wide range of copper and fiber industrial applications by utilizing selected iConverter module.

The chassis can be DIN-rail mounted using the included DIN-rail mounting clip or wall mounted using the optional wall mounting plate. The chassis operates over a temperature range of -40 to +75°C.
