    5.4 Connecting optical cables For the convenience of the user, the AIMA3000 chassis has a sliding fiber guide to help the operator to arrange the cables. For the specific steps to connect the fiber, please refer to the instructions in section 5.4.1. 5.4.1 Using the sliding fiber guide The sliding fiber guide is located in the lower-left corner of the chassis if looking at the front of the chassis, it is designed to help...
  • Page 20 When using the sliding guide, put the fiber connector in the clip and slide it in from the rear to the front, through the chassis. Ensure that the optical fiber tail does not become trapped or pulled tightly. Fiber clip (at rear, for up to two connectors) Handle (at front) technetix.com...

  • Page 21: Using The Fibre Tray

    5.4.2 Using the Fibre Tray All optical fibres must be organised in a tidy manner in the chassis’s fibre tray, which provides enough space for up to 64 optical fibres. This allows for easy positioning and future replacement of optical fibres. Along the front of the chassis, there are cut-outs for keeping the optical fibres in position.

    5.5 Check module LEDs Single port module When the module has been installed, if the chassis is powered, all LED indicators on the front panel will show a blinking green light, indicating the module is initiating. If the input and output signals are normal, the “STAT” LED indicator will cease to blink in about 5 seconds and remain constant green afterwards.

  • Page 28 In this example when applying a channel load (42 channels) at the transmitter at 17.8 dBmV the OMI per channel is: OMI per analogue channel = (OMI80 x (√(Na80/2)) x (√(2/Na OMI per analogue channel = (0.04 x (√(80/2)) x (√(2/42)) OMI per analogue channel = 0.04 x 6.32 x 0.218) 5.52% OMI per analogue channel = 0.0552 = technetix.com...
  • Page 29 Example 3 This example will include a mix of analogue and QAM RF channels. Sample channel load: Analogue channels = 50 QAM64 channels = 13 at -10 dB back off QAM256 channels = 15 at -6 dB back off First step is to determine total RF power of the suggested channel load. This will require the QAM RF channels to be calculated to analogue equivalent RF power.
