About OCF files

The .OCF file format is most commonly used as an XML-based network switch configuration file for Hirschmann industrial network switches. Administrators use these files via the Hirschmann Industrial HiVision Configuration Tool to backup, deploy, and manage switch settings across a network. Secondary uses of the .OCF extension include CAD object cache files generated by Nemetschek Allplan or Open CASCADE Technology, as well as firmware update files for ALI Corp satellite receivers and Olympus digital cameras.

Users often need to convert or extract data from .OCF files because they are tied to highly specific hardware environments. For network administrators, analyzing an .OCF configuration without the physical switch or the expensive HiVision software is a major bottleneck. Because the primary Hirschmann format is based on XML, the best conversion targets are readable text formats like XML or TXT for auditing and troubleshooting. CAD cache files and firmware updates, however, are compiled binary formats and usually cannot be converted to standard document or image types.

This file format is difficult to open or convert because it serves as a raw data dump or a specialized cache rather than a standardized document format. Often, only the original hardware or specialized software can properly read or export the data. However, convert.guru can still identify the file format, inspect the file, and show text or internal content. Just drag and drop your file to see what it is and convert it if supported. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.

Convert.Guru analyzes your OCF file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted PDF, ANOM, EPB and NPV2 files.

The OCF Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our OCF converter.
