4. Patch Area Architecture.
The layout of the SMT327 is shown below. Two patch areas, upper and lower, allow each pair of TIM’s to be interconnected.
Between these areas, three routing channels are provided to allow additional communication port connections between each
pair of TIM’s.
Each patch area has 3 front panel FMS connectors that allow a communication port to be buffered to a front panel connector.
Buffered communication ports can be used between SMT327 boards or other compatible systems at distances up to 0.8m.
The diagram below details the layout of the TIM slots and potential routing of the flat flexible cables.
