Installing OSP155/ESP155/BCP155 Line Interface Cards

BROADway supports up to four OSP155, ESP155 or BCP155 single port OC3/STM1 line cards

installed in positions OSP-1, OSP-2, OSP-3 and OSP-4. The OSP155 is a singlemode fiber interface

operating at 155Mbps, the ESP155 is a coaxial interface operating at 155Mbps and the BCP155 is a

reduced functionality 155Mbps singlemode fiber interface for the direct interconnection of BROADway

chassis.

The OSP155 and BCP155 cards contain a Class I Laser Product which conforms to the applicable

requirements of 21 CFR Subchapter J.

DANGER! DO NOT UNPLUG THE FIBER OPTIC CABLES OR LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE END OF

A FIBER WHEN THE OSP155 OR BCP155 CARD IS POWERED UP. THERE IS A STRONG

POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE EYE DAMAGE IF YOU LOOK IN THE END OF A LIT FIBER CABLE OR

INTERFACE.

Cable the OSP155, ESP155, and BCP155 cards directly. Dress the fiber cables to the right of the chassis

through the grommets provided in the right hand side of the unit.

The OSP155 and BCP155 cards use a duplex SC-type fiber optic cable connector. The ESP155 card

uses a 75Ohm SMB coaxial connector. For more information about this type of fiber cable specification,

see Appendix A, Ports and Cables.
