1.5 E1-75/120 Conversion Panel

You need an E1-75/120 conversion panel if you want to convert the balanced 120-ohm interfaces of the
E1-42 card and the corresponding FMECs to unbalanced 75-ohm interfaces.
The E1-75/120 contains eighty-four 1.0/2.3 miniature coax connectors (42 for transmit, 42 for receive)
to the customer side and two Molex 96-pin LFH connectors to the E1-42 FMEC 120-ohm side. Each of
the Molex 96-pin LFH connectors connects 21 inputs and 21 outputs. The E1-75/120 conversion panel
is intended to be used in digital distribution frames (DDFs), ETSI racks, and ANSI racks.
You can install the E1-75/120 conversion panel in the rack of your ONS 15454 SDH or in a nearby rack.
If you install the E1-75/120 conversion panel in a place where a longer cable is required, make sure that
the total cable loss of the balanced 120-ohm cable and the unbalanced 75-ohm cable does not exceed the
maximum allowed value. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Reference Manual for details. To ensure
that the E1-75/120 conversion panel is secure, use one or two M6 mounting screws for each side of the
shelf assembly.
Note If required, the mounting brackets of the E1-75/120 conversion panel can be uninstalled, rotated
90 degrees, and reinstalled to enable 19-inch (482.6 mm) rack mounting.
