The information following applied to stageboxes that are directly connected to the Blackrock processor(s) without the
MORSE router.
The MORSE router can be assembled and configured in different ways to suit specific requirements for resource sharing
and redundancy. Systems that include a router will be individually tailored and then commissioned by SSL engineers so are
not covered by this document.
i Refer to page 4-10 for the connector pinouts.

2m fibre cables are supplied with each 3U stagebox which can be used for initial testing or if the units are adjacent to the
Blackrock processor.
It is the responsibility of the facility or system integrator to supply longer fibre cables that may be necessary to allow the
Alpha-Link units to be remotely located.
Each unit will require one or two fibre cable runs depending on the method of connection to the Blackrock. The diagrams
opposite show the different connection arrangements.
• When connecting to redundant Blackrock processors the main processor should be connected to input 'B' of each
stagebox and the backup processor connected to input 'A'.
• Standard interface specification is: 50/125µm, multimode, duplex LC (at the Blackrock) to SC (at the stagebox).
• Singlemode versions of the stagebox MADI interface card can be specified at the time of order.
• It is recommended that spare cables are installed to remotely located units to allow for possible damage or future
expansion.
Suitable ready made fibre cables are available from networking and computer supply outlets.
