a detachable power cord; card models include a manual.

The DC-powered MT653A-ST-D48-R3 includes a manual

and a DC power-supply connector kit. You have to
assemble this connector and use it to terminate the DC
power cord that will plug into the Fiber Optic Line Driver.

The tables below show the pinouts of the connectors on

the T1/E1 Fiber Optic Line Drivers that carry the T1/E1 and dry-
contact alarm leads. The pinning shown for the T1/E1 signals
on the DB15 connector of the standalone models is widely used,
so if you’re only using these signals, our standard cables should
work.

The pinning of the dry-contact leads is proprietary. Their

arrangement on DB15 is the same as that used by our earlier
standalone fiber optic line drivers (MT610 through MT613), 
so if you already have cables built for those, they should still 
work. If you need cables incorporating these leads, please call 
us for a quote.
