Transmission Delay The Optocore system delay, including the matrix, is a fixed 41,6 µs @ 48 kHz for all channels. The additional transport delay per Optocore unit on the network (<200 ns) is insignificant in comparison. Overall system delay is dependent on the converters used and the length of network cables in the system.
Control All system and device parameters are configured using the OPTOCORE CONTROL software. The system can be configured and controlled centrally, over the Optocore network, with the exception of the initial configuration of the unique identifier (ID) of the device.
> 40 dB between 30 MHz up to 1 GHz. The shield of the cable should have contact to the connector hood. USB Connection Use a USB-A to USB-B cable between the PC and the Optocore device. LAN Connection Use a standard twisted pair cable (Cat-5, Cat-6) with RJ-45 connectors.
The following example demonstrates the use of X6R/V3R-FX-INTERCOM devices with intercom matrix systems. An X6R-FX-INTERCOM is connected to eight four-wire ports of a central intercom matrix. The four-wire ports, along with RS422 or RS485 control signals (device dependent), are distributed over the fully routable Optocore redundant ring topology network to remote locations.

The four-wire ports, along with GPIO control signals (device dependent), are distributed over the fully routable Optocore redundant ring topology network to remote locations.
A pair of V3R-FX-INTERCOM devices is used to establish an eight channel trunk between two intercom matrices. The four-wire ports are transported over a fully routable Optocore redundant ring topology network. Control for both intercom matrices are connected together using the Optocore network’s internal Ethernet switch with an optional connection to a third party trunk controller.
The PartyLine is created by routing bi-directional audio between PartyLine interface A, connected to the first Optocore device in the network, to PartyLine interface B, connected to the second Optocore device in the network. This is repeated throughout the Optocore network.
