CBIA backplane
function
The cabinet design enables all possible RF and digital module combinations to
be served by the same backplane. The only module-to-module cabling required
are the Tx cables from the transceivers to the Tx blocks. Any external
attachments will also require separate cabling.
The backplane is a multilayered printed circuit board with attached connectors
on front and back. The backplane:
 Routes power and digital signals throughout the cabinet.
 Provides connectors for the harness cables linking to the interface panel.
 Provides connectors for plug in modules.
 Provides power to the SURF harness, when the main cage is inserted into
the cabinet.
 Provides a connector for the door switch cable.
 Provides connectors for three heat sensors in the main cage above the
CTUs.
Attachment of
