VC-016PR update

VC-016PR product update:

The colour of the VC-016PR has changed to black.

VC-016PR application note:

The VC-016PR is part of our Power CAT range. It transmits power to the camera and receives differential video from the camera. The VC-016PR delivers 0.5Amps per camera on a maximum cable length of 300m per channel over CAT5e cable. Each channel will require a VC-01PM, the VC-01PM features a DC-DC converter that supplies 12Vdc at 0.5Amp to power the camera and a differential video transmitter. One CAT5e cable is required per camera.

The benefits are:

• Centralized power supply for the cameras
• Lower labour costs
• Lower cable costs
• Lower conduit and cable path costs
• Faster installation process
• Better noise immunity
• Ground loop isolation
• Higher bandwidth cable
• Longer cable runs (300m)

VSA-016R surge arrestor

VSA-016R product update:

BFR Digital increases Warranty to 5 Years

We are so confident in our fibre optic transmission equipment that we have increased our warranty on all fibre optic products from 2 years to 5 years. Our product has proven to be incredibly robust because it’s made in South Africa for African conditions.

Gautrain Solution from BFR Digital

The first phase of the Gautrain opened last week and BFR Digital is proud to be involved with this world class project.

The Gautrain team required an enclosure to fit the cameras to their cable management system. The enclosure not only had to fit in with the aesthetics of the train stations but also had to manage the data, UTP video and feature a power supply for the camera. We engineered an enclosure with a single PC board that managed all these facilities for the camera. The enclosure also features video loss and power indicators. 360 of these unique enclosures were supplied for the first phase of the Gautrain project.

Contact Closures and New Field Lite Enclosure

It’s been a busy year and I can’t believe that we are half way through June. We have finished development on the Fibre Lite Plus product range. Fibre Lite Plus is a multimode analogue link in 1300nm with enough optical power budget for 6km of cable. All the Fibre Lite (2.5km multimode) products are available in Fibre Lite Plus (6km multimode).

We have also introduced 2 new products:

• This offers 5 inputs which are transmitted as data, then received and presented as dry relay output contacts at the receiving end.
  
• Field Lite Enclosure. This enclosure features a 12Vdc 2Amp output, is battery backed by a 7AH battery, has a 12way splice cassette and 2 slots which can accommodate any Fibre Lite, Fibre Lite Plus or DTX Series cage card.
