OPC-2 Analog Power-Line Carrier

Terminal

Description

DIMAT OPC-2 technology

Unlike the OPC-1 terminal, the technology
used in the design of the OPC-2 analog
Power-Line Carrier terminal is completely
digital and uses latest generation elements.
This technology together with an innovative
signal modulation procedure has produced
an equipment with fewer modules but at the
same time being just as robust and reliable
as its predecessor OPC-1.

Product overview
There are two different models of the OPC-2
terminal, single-channel and twin-channel,
with an output power (PEP) of 20, 40 or 80 W.
Management system
The twin-channel version of the OPC-2 OPC-2 terminals have a Web server that
