Expansion Hub Front Panel
Ref # Description
1 One port LED and connector
pair for eight ports, labeled Port
n, where n = 1 - 8
One port LED per type F connector port for link status and downstream RAU status (8
pair total). See “Unit Status and DL/UL STATUS LEDs” on page 45.
Eight CATV cable, type F connectors for the CATV cables used to transmit and receive
signals to and from RAUs. Use only 75 ohm type F connectors on the CATV cable. The
CATV cable also delivers DC electrical power to the RAUs. The Expansion Hub’s DC
voltage output is 54V DC nominal. A current limiting circuit protects the Hub if any port
draws excessive power.
Note: For system perfo
rmance, it is important to use only low loss solid copper center
conductor CATV cable with quality type F connectors that use captive centerpin
connectors. Refer to “Appendix A: Cables and Connectors” on page 191 for
approved cables and connectors.
For information on the Port LEDs, see “Port STATUS LEDs” on page 47.
2 POWER LED
3 DL STATUS LED See “Unit Status and DL/UL ST

TUS LEDs” on page 45.
4, 5 UPLINK and DOWNLINK
fiber-optic ports
O
ne standard female SC/APC connector for MMF/SMF output (UPLINK), and one
standard female SC/APC connector for MMF/SMF input (DOWNLINK). See “Optical Fiber
Uplink/Downlink Connectors” on page 45.
6 UL STATUS LED See “Unit Status and DL/UL ST
A
TUS LEDs” on page 45.
7 EH STATUS LED
8 ADMIN/LAN connector One RJ-45 female connector for system
commun
ication and diagnostics using a
PC/laptop with direct connect or using a LAN switch. Use a crossover Ethernet cable
(PN-4069-ADB) to directly connect a laptop or PC to the RJ-45 female connector for local
monitoring or configuring the Expansion Hub and associated RAUs using the
AdminBrowser-EH resident software. The cable typically has a RJ-45 male connector on
both ends. Refer to “TCP/IP Cross-Over Cable” on page 200 for
the cable pinout and the
AdminBrowser manual.
9 CONSOLE connector This console port is only used by TE
manufacturing test purposes. DO
NOT CONNECT
ANYTHING TO IT.
