    BC625 connections BC625 1. AUDIO I/O – all audio connections are made via the hi-density 26-pin female Dsub connector. All audio inputs and outputs are electronically balanced and at line level, nominally 0 dBu (0.775 V Wire the mating Dsub connector according to the pinout listed below:...
  • Page 7 2. OPTICAL I/O - SFP dual fibre connector. The connector is mounted on a removable cartridge. The BC625 uses single-mode fibre as standard, at a wavelength of 1310 nm; alternative CWDM wavelengths or multi-mode operation are available if specified at the time of order.
  • Page 8: System Block Diagram

    The analogue audio outputs are electronically balanced, and can supply a maximum level of +18 dBu (ref 1 mW into 600 ohms). Note that overall gain throughout the system – transmitter > optical fibre > receiver – is unity (0 dB). BC625-OperationGuide-v2...
  • Page 9: Configuration And Setup Options

    Configuration and setup options The BC625 has only one setup option which may need to be altered by the user. This controls the audio signal level relationship between analogue and digital domains. The jumper, LK1, is located at the rear of the left-hand PCB, as the module is viewed from the rear.
