2. INSTALLATION 

The 7707BPX comes with a companion rear plate that has three SC/PC (shown), ST/PC or FC/PC optical 
connectors and a six pin terminal strip.  For information on mounting the rear plate and inserting the 
module into the frame see the 7700FR chapter section 3. 
 

 

Figure 2-1: 7707BPX Rear Panel 

 

INPUT A, B: 

The two SC/PC, (shown), ST/PC or FC/PC female connectors are wide range optical inputs 
that accept wavelengths accommodating standard 1310nm, or 1270nm to 1610nm CWDM 
transmission schemes.  The A connector is for the 

Main

 input and the B connector is for the 

Standby 

input. 

 

OUTPUT:  

This SC/PC, (shown), ST/PC or FC/PC female connector is the output from the switch.
