General Electric VMIVME5599 332-005599-000 Automatic Fiber-Optic Bypass Switch

The GE VMIVME5599 (Part No. 332-005599-000) is an automatic fiber-optic bypass switch designed to maintain the integrity of fiber-optic networks by automatically bypassing any nodes that lose power. This feature ensures uninterrupted network operation, which is critical in industrial and mission-critical applications. The VMIVME5599 is highly compatible with the VMIVME-5576 and VMIVME-5588 devices, offering both manual and remote operation capabilities for added flexibility.

Key Features:

• Automatic Bypass Functionality: The VMIVME5599 ensures that when a node in the fiber-optic network loses power, it is automatically bypassed, preventing network disruption and maintaining the flow of data.

• Manual and Remote Operation: Users can operate the bypass switch manually via a front panel switch, or remotely using a control pin on P2, providing operational flexibility based on system requirements.

• Seamless Installation: Designed to plug directly into the same VMEbus backplane as the VMIVME-5576 and VMIVME-5588, the VMIVME5599 simplifies the installation process in existing systems.

• Network Integrity: By ensuring that nodes with power failures are bypassed, this device enhances the overall reliability and availability of fiber-optic networks, critical for real-time industrial operations.

Technical Specifications:

Applications:

• Critical Network Operations: Ideal for industrial fiber-optic networks where continuous operation is crucial, such as in manufacturing, automation, or control systems.

• Data Integrity in Industrial Systems: Ensures network reliability by bypassing faulty or powered-down nodes, preventing disruption in critical communication.

• Real-Time System Monitoring: Helps maintain system performance by automatically compensating for node failures, ensuring uninterrupted data transfer in real-time monitoring applications.
