The AK3000 DS3 product family enables point to point transport of DS3 and fractional DS3 services over bonded pairs of copper,
optimized for CSA distances (9kft 26AWG or 12kft 24AWG). The AK3000 family consists of DS3 Central Office and Remote
cards that plug into a 1RU high housing for 19” and 23” racks and for wall mounting. The remote card is either line powered by
the Central Office card or locally powered. Aktino products utilize a technology “MIMO on DMT” which uses coordinated signal
processing over multiple transceivers to achieve significant performance improvements over standard DSL technology. Refer to
the AK3000 DS3 Technical Practice (180-0005-001) for more comprehensive information and troubleshooting.
Installation is identical for both the CO and RT ends.
#1 Mounting
(see Figure 1)
The AK3000 Family’s shelf (AK100S) can be mounted in
either 19 inch or 23 inch racks. The AK100S chassis
includes flanges for both 19 and 23 inch mounting. Screws
for mounting to both the chassis and the rack are included.
Mounting holes are provided for flush or mid mount. The
unit can also be mounted on a wall using either 19 or 23 inch
flanges. An optional hinged bracket (AK100B) is available
for easier wall mounted access.
#2 Connections
(see Figure 2)
Frame Ground Connection
The Ground Lug located on the right hand side of the back
panel can accommodate up to 6 AWG wire. Use a wire
gauge for grounding at least as heavy as the power wiring.
Attach the grounding wire to the AK100S Ground Lug to a
nearby grounding screw on the equipment rack or facility
ground.
Note that the ground connection is required for
proper system operation.
Power Connection
A 7.5A to 10A UL listed fuse/circuit breaker must be
installed ahead of this unit.
To access the power block, the Protective Cap located on the
left hand side of the back panel must be removed. Unscrew
the captive screw on the right side of the Protective Cap,
slide the cap to the left and lift off. Labels of the power
block and wirewrap connections are silk screened on the
Protective Cap as well as the back panel.
Two redundant power buses are provided (A and B). The
two power inputs are identical and can be used for redundant
power configurations.
Insert the ends of the -48 Vdc and Return power wires (16
AWG wire is recommended) into the A and B holes on the
left side of the power block. Route the power wires towards
the left of the back panel so that the Protective Cap can be
reinstalled.
Alarm Connections
The alarm wirewrap connections are located under the
Protective Cap. Unscrew the captive screw on the right side
of the Protective Cap, slide the cap to the left and lift off.
Labels of the wirewrap connections are silk screened on the
Protective Cap as well as the back panel. Each alarm
consists of a three pin wire wrap header. These are generally
only used on the CO end.
DS3 Connection
Attach the transmit and receive DS3 coax cables to the In
and Out BNC connectors on the back panel. The IN
connector’s shield can be grounded or opened by the slide
switch below the IN connector. Generally, only one end of
the DS3 coax cable shield should be grounded.
