vincebrook 0 Posted February 23, 2018 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?

jeromephone 6 Posted March 1, 2018 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers 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 Ilkie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
