Description

The Bridge Module (BRG) connects two Orbit 60 Chassis

together by connecting the bridge of one chassis to the

bridge on another chassis forming a single Orbit 60 system.

Two bridges can be installed in each chassis to provide

redundant capability.  A maximum of two chassis can be

bridged together in a single Orbit 60 system.  All data from

both chassis is available across the bridge links.

Redundant bridging is supported if a second bridge module

is installed in each chassis. Failure of one bridge module, or

the connection between modules,  forces an automatic

transition to the redundant pair of bridges to continue

communication.

The bridge module can extending the physical size and reach

of an Orbit 60 system via a single mode, OS1 or OS2. Fiber

Optic Link up to 2000 m long. A total of 6 dB of attenuation

can exist between the ends of the fiber connection. This

allows for multiple patch panel connections and fiber repairs

without an impact to system communication.
