The AK5000 Ethernet product family enables point to point transport of Ethernet services over bonded pairs of copper, optimized
for CSA distances (9kft 26AWG or 12kft 24AWG). The AK5000 family includes the Ethernet Compact Remote Unit that fits into
optional 1RU high brackets for 19” and 23” racks or can be wall mounted with the optional wall mount bracket. The Compact
Remote Unit is either locally powered or line powered by the Central Office Compact Unit or Line Card. Aktino products utilize
the technology “MIMO on DMT” which uses coordinated signal processing over multiple transceivers to achieve significant
performance improvements over standard DSL technology. Refer to the AK500 Ethernet Compact CO Unit Quick Installation
(180-0034-001) or the AK500S Ethernet Multislot Shelf Quick Installation (180-0036-001) for CO installation. Refer to the
AK5000 Ethernet Technical Practice (180-0037-001) for more comprehensive information and troubleshooting.
#1 Mounting
The AK500 Compact Remote Units can be mounted with the
AKCURB Rack Bracket (see Figure 1), with the AKCUF19
or AKCUF23 Rack Flange mounts (see Figure 2), or with
the AKCUWB wall mounting bracket (see Figure 3).
#2 Connections
Frame Ground Connection (see Figure 4)
Crimp a #10 ring lug to a ground wire and attach it onto the
#10 ground stud located on the right side of the rear panel.
Use a wire gauge for grounding at least as heavy as the
power wiring. Attach the grounding wire from the Ground
Lug to a nearby grounding screw on the equipment rack or
facility ground.
Note that the ground connection is
required for proper system operation.
Power Connection
The Aktino Compact Remote Unit can either be line
powered from the Aktino Central Office Unit or Line card,
or locally powered with the optional AKRUPA AC adapter.
For maximum reliability, both line power and local power
can be used simultaneously. If locally powering, plug the
AKRUPA AC adapter into the power jack on the back of the
Compact Remote Unit (see Figure 4).
Ethernet Data Connections (See Figure 5)
Attach Ethernet data cables to any of the four 10/100BaseT
RJ45 plugs on the front panel or insert an SFP module in the
front panel slot. Generally, any 100BaseFX or 1000BaseX
SFP module is compatible; contact Aktino Customer Service
with any question regarding SFP compatibility.
Caution
In order to comply with the intrabuilding lightning
surge requirements, intrabuilding Ethernet wiring must be
shielded, and the shield for the wiring must be grounded at
both ends.
