STR TitanMux

The STR TitanMux provides an advanced solution to the challenges of integrating the ever expanding multitude of sensor types required for ROV survey and inspection operations.

The system operates with exceptional levels of technology density supporting higher numbers of sensors than ever before.
DESIGNED BY YOU, FOR YOU
The STR TitanMux is a fibre optic multiplexer for ROVs that’s been engineered for reliable performance across demanding offshore environments, the standard titanium housing is capable of operations at 6000 m
and supports long duration deployment without risk of corrosion. It benefits from robust metal shell connectors with fully open face pressure rating.

The system has been designed for seamless integration into existing ROV systems with an intuitive 12” touch screen LCD (liquid crystal display) display with the ability to be controlled via our integrated web Graphical User Interface (GUI).

fibre optic multiplexer for ROVs by str
  • High bandwidth fibre-optic communications
  • Very high density functionality
  • Advanced power management technology
  • High efficiency power supply technology
  • Fully configurable eFuses and power reporting
  • Ground fault detection
  • Galvanic isolation
  • Ultra-compact footprint: Facilitating uncompromised installation of larger packages of survey sensor installations, on smaller ROVs than possible with competitor products.
  • High count 1000 / 100 / 10 Mbps Ethernet, Serial RS232 & RS485 connectivity: Ease of integration & networking with virtually all survey sensors, simultaneously supporting higher numbers of sensors than previously possible, and ensuring future-proof expandability.
  • Increased survey sensor payload: Maximising operational survey time by reducing the time required to install different sensors or perform multiple inspections.
  • Advanced internal diagnostics versatile and user friendly: Diagnostic functions ensure reliable operation and provide advanced warnings to ensure safe & reliable sensor operation, minimising down time for trouble shooting. Intuitive & advanced user interface ensures smooth & simple operation, offering significant reductions in mobilisation timescales.
  • Design tested with industry standard Survey Sensors: Tried and tested as an integral part of large underwater sensor packages, STR TitanMux provides high levels of confidence that systems operate correctly and reliability to ensure that surveys and inspections are concluded without interruption or compromise.
  • Standardised connectors and pinouts with open face pressure to full ocean depth: The connector system in use offers un-paralleled levels of robustness and reliability, ensuring the survival of the mux in the event of a failed or disconnected cable. STR have standardised the pinout of the sensor connections to ensure all cables are interchangeable, minimising cable variants, minimising cost of stock-holding and improving connectivity. Each sensor connector offers simultaneous operation of all power and data types without compromise.

The STR MiniPort DTS has been engineered to provide a robust and efficient power and communications network over long lengths of subsea cabling, such as armoured coaxial tow cables used for sidescan sonars and ROV umbilical’s.

The MiniPort DTS is ideal for extending the range and depth capabilities of equipment and sensors which ordinarily use RS232 communication and 24V DC.

The system is capable of delivering up to 300W @ 24VDC along with 4 independent RS232 channels and TTL trigger for USBL positioning systems. All communication is performed using advanced techniques to provide extremely low latency and maximum robustness. An extensive range of safety features have also been included in the design in order to reduce the risk of high voltage exposure which can be present on other subsea telemetry systems. The MiniPort DTS Subsea Unit has been specifically designed for maximum power efficiency and compact format to meet the demanding size and power restraints of many applications.

Key Features

  • 4 x low latency RS232 ports
  • 4x 24V DC outputs
  • Ultra low latency TTL trigger port
  • Cable fault monitoring
  • 2000m depth rating
  • 3000m coax operation
  • Easy to install & operate
  • Compact aluminium subsea housing
