Device Description

Congratulations on your purchase of a DD8RP Repeater / Media Converter Module. The DD8RP will quickly

convince you with its advantages and will facilitate your day-to-day work.

The DD8RP features two possible applications. It can operate as a repeater in an Optocore network, if distances

between devices are longer than 700 m and the standard multimode fiber cables are used. Or it can function as

media converter from multimode to monomode fiber connections and vice versa. The four repeaters / media

converters work protocol independent, they can be implemented in networks based on protocols such as Ethernet

as well. The unit is specially designed for low power consumption and provides a DC 12 V power supply. Battery

packs can supply the power, if no mains supply is available. This can immensely simplify outdoor applications.

The flexibility to use the DD8RP as repeater and converter is achieved by receptacles for SFP (Small Form-factor

Pluggable) optical transceivers. Eight receptacles form the four independent LINK interfaces; each LINK can

consist of two SFPs with dual LC type connectors. The function of a LINK as repeater or converter depends on

the implemented optical transceiver. This allows the configuration exactly appropriate for the application. E.g. one

LINK may extend the distance between two Optocore devices in an OPTOCORE

OPTICAL DIGITAL

NETWORK, while the other LINKs are used in totally different networks with non-Optocore protocols.

LEDs on the front give detailed information about the status and operating state of each LINK. They indicate if a

malfunction of any connection could influence the high quality data transmission.

Two power supplies with automatic switchover and individual connectors provide a high grade of safety. The first

power supply is for AC mains input including the unique 400 V tolerant Optocore design. An over-voltage-monitor

lights the OVP (Over Voltage Protection) status LED during an over voltage condition, simultaneously

suppressing the normal function of the device. The second power supply is for DC 12 V, equipped with a male 4-

pin connector. The DC power supply is compatible with battery packs, UPSs (Uninterruptible Power Supply) or

standard AC adapters.

Due to SMD production the DD8RP fulfills the demand of highest digital standards occupying only one rack unit of

a 19" rack. The FPGA (field programmable gate array) based concept of the internal logic circuitry permits

updating of the hardware via the units remote ports, ensuring a continual state-of-the-art device.

Device Details

LINK Ports

Four independent LINK ports provide receptacles for SFP optical transceivers. Each LINK can be equipped with

two SFPs with two LC-type connectors. The advantage of this concept is obvious. Each port holds the SFP

needed in the particular application. They can be changed without opening the device. The multimode full duplex

SFP transceiver (850nm) or monomode full duplex SFP transceiver (1300nm) can be purchased with the device

or can be ordered later.

The specification of the ports as A or B serves only for orientation. A dual LC cable with an input and output signal

connected to port A will be transferred to port B, either refreshed by the repeater or refreshed and converted to

another media type.

The DD8RP is not limited to be used in Optocore networks. It can operate in all sorts of networks no matter which

protocol is the base of the data transmission. The four LINKS are functioning totally independent; so one LINK

can serve in an Optocore network, the next one in a 1 Gbit-Ethernet and the others in completely different

networks.

Power Supply

The device is equipped with two power inputs and power supply units. If one power supply fails, due to

malfunction of the feeding power line or the power supply unit itself, the device will automatically switch over to

the other power supply unit.

One power supply unit operates with mains voltage of 100 ... 240 V and frequency of 50 … 60 Hz. Thus the

device can be used throughout the world without any adjustments or transformers.

The power supply unit is 400 V

tolerant and protected against high current. The OVP (Over Voltage Protection) LED on the front will indicate over voltage at > 300 V, simultaneously suppressing the normal function of the device. When the OVP LED is lit, immediately disconnect the device from the power line to prevent any damage to the device. The power input has a fuse, replaceable without opening the device.

Never bypass the fuse and only use the specified type. Be aware that the switched-mode power supply operates with high voltages! Coming into contact with it

can lead to considerable electric shocks that may result in death! To prevent electric shocks do not remove any covers!

The second power supply operates with 9-15 V / 1 A AC or DC. The low voltage can be provided by a wide range of alternatives such as battery packs, UPSs (Uninterruptible Power Supply) or standard AC adapters. Specially in temporary outdoor applications with long distances between devices, e.g. at a race course or a road race, this simplifies the power supply. No generator or long power cables are necessary. The unit is specially designed for low power consumption. A battery pack with a sufficient capacity can easily supply the required power.

Connectors and Cables

Optical Connection

The type of the optical fiber cables depends on the optical transceivers. The connectors are LC-type.

RS232-Connection

Shielded, standard 1-modem cable is sufficient for the RS232 port.

USB-Connection

For the USB-port use a standard PC/device cable.

Mains-Connection

For the power supply 1 standard power cords with IEC C13 socket can be used.

12V-Connector

For the power supply 2 a cable with 4 pole female XLR connector can be used.

DD8RP 10 / 15 rev. 1.0

Starting Up

The DD8RP is functioning independent of the format and structure of the connected devices. So no software configuration is necessary, no ID has to be set and there is no limitation of the number of DD8RP implemented in the network.

Hardware Connection

Each LINK is working autonomous. There are four separate repeaters or converters. To extend the distance between two devices, e.g. two DD32E as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, one LINK interface of the DD8RP equipped with the appropriate SFP optical transceivers is needed.

In Fig. 1 both receptacles of LINK 1 are equipped with multimode transceivers (orange). The LINK is functioning as a repeater in order to extend the distance of a multimode connection. Port A of the LINK 1 is used as interface to the DD32E with ID 2; port B as interface to the DD32E with ID 2.

Fig. 1: DD8RP between two DD32E, functioning as repeater in order to extend the distance of the multimode connection.

The second example in Fig. 2 shows an application where the two DD8RP work as repeater and media converter. The first DD8RP functions as a converter from multimode to monomode, the second DD8RP converts the signal back to multimode. The ports of LINK 1 connected to the DD32E are equipped with multimode SFPs (orange). The second ports of LINK 1 contain standard monomode SFPs (yellow) in order to enable distances up to 10 km. SFPs for distances up to 70 km can be purchased on request. The converters refresh the signal as well. The full cable length, 700 m between multimode transceivers and 10 km between monomode transceivers, is available.
