PG2-MADI-F-FX User Guide
8 Connectors and Cables
8.1 Optical Connection
The dual optical LINK-interfaces are equipped with duplex LC connectors. The PG2-MADI-F-FX is equipped with
standard SFP transceivers which can be changed by the user. Standard LC cables with two fibers can be used.
Worst case reach is 700 m with multimode transceivers and a 50 m fiber, whilst with monomode transceivers and a
9 m fiber, up to 70 km are possible. For rugged applications e.g. touring and other temporary installations,
Expanded Beam Connectors mounted on 1 RU panel are available, along with matching, inter-connection cables
transported on cable drums.
8.2 MADI Ports
The MADI-interfaces are equipped with SC multimode optical connectors. The applied SC cables are perfectly
suitable for interconnection of devices.
8.3 SANE Ports
Use standard twisted-4-pair-cable (Cat-5, Cat-5e, Cat-6), with RJ-45 connectors. SANE technology utilizes all 4
pairs of Cat-5 cable – two for standard Ethernet transmission, two for SANE. Maximum distance between two
devices connected by SANE is 100m.
8.4 Auxiliary Ports
According to the RS422/RS485 hardware standard, each channel requires a twisted pair. A common braided shield
should enclose the pairs.
Standard computer data cables are sufficient.
8.5 RS232-Connection
Shielded, standard 1-modem cable is sufficient for the RS232 port.
8.6 Connector Hood Quality
Applied locking screws for the D-Sub-types must be acc. to 4-40 UNC. Care should be taken in selecting the right
types of connector hoods in order to fulfill the requirements of EMI-radiation directives. Full metal connector hoods
should be used, approved acc. to VDE 0871, FCC 20780 and EMC directive 2004/108/EG, providing a reduction >
40 dB on 30 MHz up to 1 GHz. The shielding harness of the cable should have complete contact to the connector
hood.
8.7 USB-Connection
To conntect to the USB-port, use a standard PC/device cable.
8.7.1 LAN-Connection
Use standard twisted-pair-cable (Cat-3, Cat-5) with RJ-45 connectors.
