Ring Topology using Fiber Optic Cable

Recommended Posts

Am a newbie in designing CCTV systems but have worked with fiber network and design.

just want to ask if anyone has an idea of the devices and fibers used for a ring topology using fiber cables with approximately 9 drops?

do I need 1 fiber for each drop?

 

Cheers

are you talking about a camera that transmits its video via fiber optic like a medical camera? I would thaink that expanding the network via fiber would be a cheaper solution. Media converters and power sources are not that expensive and you would have the flexibility to use one of the many IP cameras avaliable.

Typically drop-and-insert ring topologies use 2 fibre cores, although I have seen 4 core versions. Most of the major CCTV fibre transmission manufacturers have analogue and/or IP versions of this type of system.

 

Try TKH Security Solutions, AMG, Comnet, IFS Interlogix,Moxa etc
