2.4. Electrical Connections
The following sections describe all possible electrical connections of
the UBEX endpoint and MMU devices.
2.4.1. SFP / SFP+ Slots
DEFINITION:
The small form-factor pluggable (
SFP
) is a
compact, hot-pluggable optical module transceiver used for both
telecommunication and data communication applications. It is a
popular industry format jointly developed and supported by many
network component vendors. The SFP interface supports data
rates up to 1 Gbit/s. *
DEFINITION:
The enhanced small form-factor pluggable (
SFP+
)
is an enhanced version of the SFP that supports data rates up to
10 Gbit/s. *
UBEX F-series endpoint devices and the Matrix
Management Unit contain standard 1x SFP
(in the case of the MMU) and 2x SFP+ (in the case of the endpoint
devices) slots for the fiber optical connections via SFP / SFP+ modules
or DAC cables. The installed SFP / SFP+ modules can be singlemode
or multimode as well.

Maximum Allowed Optical Cable Length
The maximum allowed optical cable
length depends of the installed SFP / SFP+
modules. Always check the specification
of the optical modules before the fiber
optical cabling.

2.4.2. AC Power Connection
Standard IEC Connector
UBEX F-series endpoint devices and the Matrix
Management Unit contain standard IEC power connector
and works with 100 to 240 Volts AC, 50 Hz or 60 Hz
power sources.
Connect the power cord to the AC input connector; the
extender is immediately powered on.
Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 Connector
UBEX R-series endpoint devices contains Neutrik
powerCON TRUE1 NAC3MPX-WOT power connector
and works with 100 to 240 Volts AC, 50 Hz or 60 Hz
power sources.
Connect the Neutrik powerCON to the AC input
connector; the extender is immediately powered on.
See the details about the assembly instructions for the Neutrik
powerCON TRUE1 cables on the website of the vendor:

2.4.3. Symmetrical Analog Stereo Audio Connector
5-pole Phoenix connector is used for balanced analog audio (line
in/out). Unbalanced audio signals can be connected as well. For
asymmetrical output, connect only + and ground. For asymmetrical
input c and ground to the source and connect – to the ground.

2.4.5. USB Mini-B Connector
UBEX series devices provide standard USB 2.0 mini B-type
connector for software control and firmware upgrade purpose.
INFO:
The USB control function of the MMU will be added by future
firmware update.
2.4.6. IR Connector
IR detector and IR emitter can be connected to the enpoint device with
TRS (Tip, Ring, and Sleeve) connectors. They are also known
as (3,5 mm or approx. 1/8”) audio jack, phone jack, phone plug,
and mini-jack plug. The pin assignments are the following for
the detector and the emitter:
Detector – 3-pole TRS
Emitter – 2-pole TS

INFO:
Ring pole of the emitter is optional. If your IR emitter has
three-pole TRS plug, then the Ring and the Sleeve are the same
signal (Output - ).
