Cabling
This section provides information for connecting cables to the installed Rear Modules on the
DFR-8321 series frames. Connect the input and output cables according to the following sections.
Each card accommodates eight synchronous AES input streams at 48kHz or any asynchronous
AES streams from 32kHz to 96kHz with SRC enabled. Note that SRC should only be used with
Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) digital audio and not any form of compressed signal, such as
Dolby®.
The optical connector used to mate the card to the rear module is designed for blind mate optical
connectors. All fiber interfaces are single mode fibers.
MUX-6258-A Cabling Overview
In the DFR-8321 series frames, the MUX-6258-A is used with the 8320AR-048A Full Rear
Module. Each rear module occupies two slots and accommodates one card. This rear module
provides one SDI input, one SDI output, one fiber output, and eight unbalanced AES inputs.

MUX-6258-A CWDM Series Cabling Overview
The MUX-6258-A CWDM series use the same rear module as the MUX-6258-A, but require a
different cabling scheme. The wavelength of the optical output of your card is dependent on the
card model. For the MUX-6258-A CWDM series, the wavelength designation replaces the SD
Fiber Out (Figure 2.3) designations as specified in Table 2.1.
Notice — Every time you are required to insert a connector into a device or mating
sleeve, you must clean the connector. All exposed surfaces of the ceramic ferrule
must be clean. Follow your facility practices of cleaning fiber optic connectors.
Connectors must always be inserted into a device or have a dust cap on.
