GTH Transceiver Clock Connections
1. See
Figure 1-2
to identify the P and N coax cables that are connected to the CLK0
reference clock inputs.
2. Connect these cables to the SuperClock-2 module as follows:
°
CLK0_P coax cable
→
SMA connector J7 (CLKOUT1_P) on the SuperClock-2 module
°
CLK0_N coax cable
→
SMA connector J8 (CLKOUT1_N) on the SuperClock-2 module
Note:
Any one of the five differential outputs from the SuperClock-2 module can be used to
source the GTH reference clock. CLKOUT1_P and CLKOUT1_N are used here as an example.
GTH TX/RX Loopback Connections
1. See
Figure 1-2
to identify the P and N coax cables that are connected to the four
receivers (RX0, RX1, RX2, and RX3) and the four transmitters (TX0, TX1, TX2, and TX3).
2. Use eight SMA female-to-female (F-F) adapters (
Figure 1-6
) to connect the transmit and
receive cables as shown in
Figure 1-7

RECOMMENDED:
To ensure good connectivity, it is recommended that the adapters be secured with a
wrench; however, do not over-tighten the SMAs.
