Moxa's OBU-102 fiber optical bypass units add bypass relay functionality to any
network node. In
linear topologies, a single power outage or node failure can take out an entire chunk of the
network, because communications to all the
network nodes further down the line are also cut. With relay bypass, that node is instead simply bypassed in the event of a failure, and the rest of the
network is unaffected. The OBU-102 sits between a node and the
network to add bypass relay functionality to any...
