Connecting the Uplink
Each fiber optic uplink interface is terminated in two ST, SC, FC-PC, or SC/APC
connectors, in accordance with the customer’s order.
For each uplink interface (A and B), connect as follows:
³ To connect the uplink:
1. Clean the optical connectors using an approved solvent, and dry thoroughly
using optical tissue.
2. Connect the cables to the two optical connectors designated TX (transmit
output) and RX (receive input) of the appropriate interface.
3. Note the correct connection of the transmit and receive cables to the
corresponding connectors. Avoid sharp bends and twisting of the fiber-optic
cables.
• Pay attention that SF1 must work opposite SF2 and not opposite the same
type of link.
• For WDM option, only one fiber optic cable per link should be connected.
Connecting the Tributary Interface
The tributary interface has four RJ-45 connectors (for the balanced link interface)
or four dual BNC connectors (for the unbalanced interface). For pin allocation of
the RJ-45 connectors, see
Appendix A.
³ To connect the tributary interface:
• Connect each of the tributary cables to the connector(s) of the
corresponding to the interface.
 For the balanced interfaces, connect to the RJ-45 connectors designated
CH1, CH2, CH3, or CH4, respectively.
 For the unbalanced interface, connect the cables to the two BNC
connectors designated IN (transmit input) and OUT (receive output) of
the appropriate interface. Note correct connection of the transmit and
receive cables to the IN and OUT connectors.
