Cabling the Optical Connections (page 15)
Cabling the Electrical Connections
To connect to the BNC connectors on the DLC300, use a high quality 75 Ohm precision video coax cable, such
as Belden 1694A cable.
To cable the electrical connections, perform the following tasks:
•
Input signal—Connect the electrical cable to the DLC300 receive connector (IN) and the source
device’s electrical transmit connector.
•
Output signal—Connect the electrical cable to the DLC300 transmit connector (OUT) and the
destination device’s electrical receive connector.
Cabling the Optical Connections
Use a single mode fiber when connecting to the LC connectors on the DLC300 SFPs.
To cable the primary and secondary SFP optical connections, perform the following tasks for each connection:
1. Remove the SFP safety plug that protects the TX and RX ports. Cover any unused optical port to keep the
port clean.
2. Cable the optical connections as follows:
•
Receive signal—Connect the fiber optic cable to the source device’s optical transmit connector and
the SFP receive optical connector (RX) on the DLC300 module.
•
Transmit signal—Connect the fiber optic cable to the destination device’s optical receive connector
and the SFP transmit optical connector (TX) on the DLC300 module.
