The connections shown in the figure are for multiplexers configured as data communications equipment (DCE) units.
3.4.7 G.703 and fiber interface
The following figure shows the combined G.703 plus fiber-optic interface configuration at 64 kbps. The 7E, 7F, 7G, 7Q, and
75 modules are used in configurations where channel 1 is employed via the G.703 interface (possibly with a multiplexer)
and channel 2 via direct fiber. AWG 24 twisted shielded pair wiring is recommended for external G.703 connections
connecting the shield to pin 1a at one end only. For the direct fiber channel, address power budget issues properly. See
previous sections for details on the G.703 and fiber interfaces.

3.4.8 IEEE C37.94 interface
IEEE C37.94 is a standard interface between teleprotection equipment and digital multiplexers.
The UR-series IEEE C37.94 modules (module types 2G, 2H, 2I, 2J, 76, and 77) are designed to interface with IEEE C37.94
compliant digital multiplexers or an IEEE C37.94 compliant interface converter for use with direct input and output
applications. The IEEE C37.94 standard defines a point-to-point optical link for synchronous data between a multiplexer
and a teleprotection device. Data speed is typically 64 kbps, but the standard provides for speeds up to 64
n kbps, where n
= 1, 2,…, 12. The UR-series C37.94 communication modules are either 64 kbps (with n fixed at 1) or 128 kbps (with n fixed at
2). The frame is a valid International Telecommunications Union (ITU-T) recommended G.704 pattern from the standpoint
of framing and data rate. The frame is 256 bits and is repeated at a frame rate of 8000 Hz, with a resultant bit rate of 2048
kbps.
The specifications for the module are as follows:
•
IEEE standard — C37.94 for 1 × 128 kbps optical fiber interface (for 2G and 2H modules) or C37.94 for 2 × 64 kbps
optical fiber interface (for 76 and 77 modules)
• Fiber-optic cable type — 50 nm or 62.5 μ m core diameter optical fiber
• Fiber-optic mode — multimode
• Fiber-optic cable length — up to 2 km
• Fiber-optic connector — type ST
• Wavelength — 820 ±40 nm
• Connection — as per all fiber-optic connections, a Tx-to-Rx connection is required
The UR-series C37.94 module can be connected directly to any compliant digital multiplexer that supports the IEEE C37.94
standard. The figure shows the concept.
When using a laser interface, attenuators can be necessary to ensure that you do not exceed the
maximum optical input power to the receiver.
