Horizon LED Operation
3.1 Cabling
Both copper and optical interface cabling is supported.
3.1.1 Copper Interface
Two, weatherproof, RJ-45 Ethernet connectors provide data and management connections to the unit
over CAT5 E cabling. Ethernet cables must be wired for a straight through connection (see Section 4.0).
One connector (GigE – Port 1) is for data traffic and optional in-band management. Power (-36 to -60 V
DC) is provided by an optional mains power adaptor and supplied to the Horizon Compact using Power
on Ethernet (PonE) techniques, which incorporates both power and network transient suppression (See
Section 8.1). CAT5E cable length is restricted to 90 metres.
The second connector (Port 2) is solely for an optional out-of-band management connection, using an
overlay network. If Port 2 is not being used (e.g. in-band management being used), ensure that the
vacant connector is sealed by fitting a weatherproof cap.
3.1.2 Optical Interface
A weatherproof, military specification, multi-pin, connector is provided for Port 2, which includes the power
feed. Port 1 has a weatherproof optical fibre connector. Single mode and multimode fibre options are
available. As with the copper variant, Port 1 supports data traffic and optional in-band management and
Port 2 is for optional out-of-band management only.
In the optical variant, power (-36 to -60 V DC) is fed to Port 2 via a short ‘Y’ adapter cable, which also
includes a weatherproof, in-line, RJ-45 connector for connecting to the optional out-of-band management
overlay network. The power feed wires (see Table 3-2 for recommended gauge) are spliced into the
adapter cable using weatherproof tap connectors. The power feed and Port 2 Ethernet cables (maximum
length 100 m) are fed through a Transtector surge arrestor unit designed to protect power and network
circuits from transients.
