    G.703 MODULES, MODULE PANEL, AND CHASSIS 1. Specifications Data Rate — 2.048 Mbps Transmission Line — CCITT G.703 (unstructured) Connections — 75-ohm: Dual coax BNC connectors, female (RG59 or 2002 coax); 120-ohm: Shielded RJ-45 jack Link-to-Data Isolation — 500 volts AC/DC Operating Temperature —...
  • Page 6 CHAPTER 2: Description 2. Description 2.1 Introduction The G.703 Balun Module Panels match multiple sets of dual 75-ohm coax connections to multiple 120-ohm twisted-pair connections. This allows carriers to provide 120-ohm G.703 service to customers retaining 75-ohm CPE hardware. It also allows carriers who have standardized on 75-ohm coax to provide 120-ohm terminations to their customers (in keeping with European ONP requirements).
  • Page 7 G.703 MODULES, MODULE PANEL, AND CHASSIS 2.2 Features • Connects 75-ohm dual coax to 120-ohm twisted pair. • Bi-directional signal conversion according to CCITT G.703. • Data rates up to 2.048 Mbps. • Low-profile design. • Mounts in standard 19-inch rack. •...
  • Page 8 CHAPTER 3: Configuration 3. Configuration Each G.703 Balun Module is equipped with four jumpers that you may use to configure several grounding options. This chapter shows the jumper locations and describes their functions. There are five configuration jumpers on the back of the Module’s printed circuit board.

    CHAPTER 4: Installation 4. Installation 4.1 The G.703 Balun Chassis The G.703 Balun Chassis can accommodate up to 16 G.703 Balun Modules. Measuring only 3.5" high, the Chassis is designed to occupy only 2U in a 19-inch rack. Sturdy front handles allow the Chassis to be extracted and transported conveniently.
  • Page 17 G.703 MODULES, MODULE PANEL, AND CHASSIS 4.2 Installing a Module in the Chassis The Chassis is made up of a 2U-high rack chassis and individually mountable G.703 Balun Modules. You can purchase a fully populated 16-port rack (part number MT243A) or you may purchase individual modules. Refer to Figure 4-2 as a guide and follow the steps below to install each additional module into the chassis.
