TheGreenSpec - Optical Fibre Connecting All Greenspec Elements To The Central Computer

SHARE
Greenspec introduces an innovative approach to greenhouse connectivity with its selection of Kevlar-coated optical fibre products. Designed to replace traditional copper cables, these optical fibres ensure secure and uninterrupted data transmission. Unlike copper cables, the fibre optic lines provide lightning protection as they are non-electric, which reduces the risk of damage from electrical discharges. The fibre cable supports bidirectional communication for added reliability in data transmission. A single cable interface, which connects to Greenspec’s Opto AFP Board, simplifies installations and maintenance. The cables can cover expanses up to 120 meters in standard rolls of 500 meters. The potential for easy adjustment at the installation site is achieved with special cutting tools and hand-fitted connections, allowing for quick implementation. Furthermore, the Kevlar fibers enhance durability and eliminate the need for protective tubing, significantly lowering installation costs.

A single optical fibre line runs through the whole greenhouse instead of multiple copper cables.

Greenspec uses a single computer transmitting the input and output information over one optical fibre cable.

The installer can easily connect this cable. He can fit it simply by hand. No risk of damage from lightning discharge, because there is no electrical charge on the cable. Much cheaper than copper wire (and no copper theft).

In each unit on the line you find an optical connection board, the Opto AFP board. The board on the computer is a special one called Opto GSC, as it communicates with the software over an USB connector. But all the different AFP units use the Opto AFP Board.

The optical cable comes in rolls of 500 m. Your installer can quickly cut and connect it.

First you cut it with a special tool. Then after that you tighten the connections by hand and so each connection is made in a few minutes. Greenspec uses a double cable.

It means that the data can go in two directions. So this makes it much safer, because the communication can go on if one direction is blocked. The lifetime of the Opto AFP board is over 5 years.
