Unicorn Voice Single-Mode Fibre Network Modules
Summary
The ViUV-SMI is a single-mode fibre network interface module designed for the Unicorn Voice PAVA system. This networking component enables long-distance connectivity between panels, making it ideal for large installations where significant distances need to be covered between system components.
The module provides reliable fibre optic communication capabilities, allowing the distributed amplifier panels and master amplifier panels to communicate effectively across extended distances whilst maintaining system integrity and performance.
Features
- Single-mode fibre optic interface for extended range networking
- Maximum distance capability of 4km between panels
- 9/125μm single-mode fibre cable compatibility
- DIN rail mounting system for secure installation
- Galvanically isolated network interface
- Suitable for use with ViUV-MAP and ViUV-DAP panels
- Part of distributed network architecture supporting up to 64 panels
- Fault tolerant dual redundant network design
FAQ
What is the maximum distance the ViUV-SMI can cover?
The ViUV-SMI single-mode fibre module can cover distances of up to 4km between panels, making it suitable for large installations and campus-wide deployments.
What type of fibre cable is required?
The module requires 9/125μm single-mode fibre optic cable for optimal performance and maximum distance capability.
How is the ViUV-SMI installed?
The module is designed for DIN rail mounting and is supplied as part of the secondary chassis/display package. It fits securely to the DIN rail within the primary cabinet and should be fitted by a commissioning engineer.
Can the ViUV-SMI be used with all Unicorn Voice panels?
Yes, the ViUV-SMI is compatible with both ViUV-MAP (Master Amplifier Panels) and ViUV-DAP (Distributed Amplifier Panels) as part of the distributed network architecture.
What are the advantages of fibre over copper networking?
Fibre optic networking provides greater distance capability (4km vs 250m for copper), immunity to electromagnetic interference, and enhanced security. It’s particularly beneficial for large installations where panels need to be located significant distances apart.
